The PGA Tour heads to Canada for this week's RBC Canadian Open.

It's a non-elevated event, so the tournament doesn't have an extremely strong field, but there are a few big names competing, including back-to-back Canadian Open winner, Rory McIlroy.

This will be the final event before next week's U.S. Open, the third major of the season.

if you want to check out the betting odds and my overall best bets, you can find those in my betting preview here.

In this article, I'm going to give out my three favorite prop bets for the event. Let's jump into them.

Canadian Open Prop Bets

  • Adrian Meronk -120 vs. Adam Hadwin
  • Adam Svensson to miss the cut (+180)
  • Nick Taylor top Canadian (+650)

Adrian Meronk -120 vs. Adam Hadwin

I'm largely going to be fading Canadians at this event. No Canadian has won their national open since 1951 and they have underperformed more often than not. It makes sense when you think that Canadians are feeling the pressure of what is a major-type event for them, while other golfers are playing largely stress-free.

On top of that, Adrian Meronk has been on fire lately. He won the Italian Open at the start of May and finished T5 at last week's KLM Open. His approach game has been dialed in, so he should have an advantage over Adam Hadwin, who hasn't finished better than T34 in four straight starts.

Adam Svensson to miss the cut (+180)

To continue my fading of Canadians, I'm going to bet on Adam Svensson to miss the cut. He has struggled lately, going T52, missed cut, T41, T27, T40, and missed cut in his last six starts. He missed the cut at last week's Memorial Tournament where he lost 1.41 strokes putting to the field.

At +180, it seems like a good price to bet on him to miss the cut again this week with the added pressure of playing in his home country.

Nick Taylor top Canadian (+650)

I can't only bet against Canadians at their national open, so we're going to take a shot on betting on which Canadian will finish further up the leaderboard. The player I'm going to wager on is Nick Taylor at +650.

Taylor has missed two straight cuts, but his approach play has been fairly strong. He gained +0.74 strokes per round on the field at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

I think he provides the best value on the board at +650.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
