There were questions about what the PGA Tour players could expect at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open as they played for the first time at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. What they ultimately found out that they could expect was a tight leaderboard and some low-scoring. That wasn't more evident than on Sunday with Sam Burns coming from well down the leaderboard to fire an 8-under 62 and take the clubhouse lead that had everyone on the course trying to chase him down.
Burns, who has been dominant at times on the PGA Tour, was among the favorites to take home the win at the RBC Canadian Open but didn't surge until Sunday. That left the likes of Cameron Young, Matt McCarty, Matteo Manassero and Ryan Fox chasing him and setting up a ton of drama down the stretch in Toronto.
Fox was the last man standing chasing Burns, though. And after a stellar third shot on the Par-5 18th hole, his final hole of regulation, Fox forced a playoff with Burns to decide the champion. Both players missed several opportunities in the playoff, with Burns missing a putt on the first playoff hole that was makable and could've won it, while Fox left some shots out there as well. But Fox delivered the final blow with a second shot on the 18th hole and the fourth playoff hole that gave him two putts to beat Burns after the latter made par. Fox sunk it, getting a big win for the New Zealander.
As always, though, while getting a great finish before next week's US Open is always crucial, it's also about these players getting the prize money that they've earned. So, let's take a look at how the Canadian Open payouts break down and how the purse has increased at this event over the years as well.
RBC Canadian Open purse 2025: Winner's prize money, total purse
Ryan Fox, the winner of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open, will receive a payout of $1.764 million for their win at TPC Toronto. That comes as, obviously, the largest prize money awarded from the $9.8 million purse on the line this week. That purse has been steadily growing over the past three years, as has the winner's prize as well, with the total purse increasing $400K from last year in 2024 and the winner receiving $52,000 more for their payout.

Sandwiched between a signature event in the Memorial and then the US Open, the payouts at the RBC Canadian Open may look small. But again, the prize money has been growing over the last several years. For instance, the runner-up this year will clear $1 million in prize money for their efforts in Toronto this week, which was not the case in previous years. All the while, we're talking about a nice payday and some always-valuable FedEx Cup points that can absolutely help players set themselves on the right track to get into the playoffs with a jump up the season-long standings.
RBC Canadian Open payouts for winners, list of champions over the last 5 tournaments
Year - Winner | Total Purse | Winner's Payout |
---|---|---|
2024 - Robert MacIntyre | $9.4 million | $1.692 million |
2023 - Nick Taylor | $9 million | $1.62 million |
2022 - Rory McIlroy | $8.7 million | $1.566 million |
2019 - Rory McIlroy | $7.6 million | $1.368 million |
2018 - Dustin Johnson | $6.2 million | $1.116 million |
The Canadian Open, of course, was canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to the restrictions in Canada regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning that the last five tournaments dates back to Dustin Johnson's win in 2018. Furthermore, it's also always worth noting that the event has been on a rotation of courses throughout the years with all five of these tournaments being played at different venues, none of which were TPC Toronto, where the 2025 event is being held.
All the while, though, you can see just how much the prize money and purse have increased. When Johnson won in 2018, the purse was $3.6 million less than it is in 2025 while he received more than $600K less as the champion that year as well.
