Robert MacIntyre Clinches First PGA TOUR Title at RBC Canadian Open

Before the excitement of the busiest Monday in golf, Robert MacIntyre captured his first PGA TOUR title at the RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf & Country Club. MacIntyre secured his victory by one stroke over Ben Griffin, becoming the eighth first-time winner of the season and the first to achieve this feat in Canada since Nathan Green in 2009.

Noteworthy Aspects of MacIntyre’s Victory:

• Father as Caddie: His father, Dougie, caddied for him throughout the tournament, making the win even more special.
• Exemptions Secured: MacIntyre earned exemptions into the final two Signature Events of 2024, as well as the 2025 editions of The Sentry, THE PLAYERS Championship, the Masters, and the PGA Championship. His PGA TOUR membership is now secured through 2026.
• Rankings Boost: His win will propel him to approximately 40th in the Official World Golf Ranking, likely securing his spot in the U.S. Open via the top 60 rankings update next week.

Other Key Outcomes from RBC Canadian Open:

• Ben Griffin: The runner-up, Griffin, secured one of the top three exemptions into the Open Championship at Royal Troon.
• Mackenzie Hughes and Maverick McNealy: Both tied for seventh and claimed the other two Open Championship spots.
• Ryan Fox: Also tied for seventh but was already exempt into the final major.
