The 2026 RBC Canadian Open, held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Caledon, Ontario, has drawn to a close, with the final standings and prize money distribution now finalized. The tournament boasted a total purse of $9.8 million. A significant storyline this year was the resurgence of Bud Cauley, a player who has overcome considerable adversity, including a serious car crash and a lengthy hiatus from professional golf, to contend for the title.
Cauley, once a highly touted amateur and one of the first players to earn PGA Tour membership without going through Q-School, faced significant challenges in his career. Following a car accident in 2018 and a break from competition between September 2020 and January 2024, he managed to regain his tour card in 2025 and even qualified for PGA Tour signature events. His performance at the RBC Canadian Open marked a pivotal moment in his comeback journey, entering the final round just one shot off the lead as he pursued his first PGA Tour victory.
"I don’t really want to think about that now. I guess we’ll find out when that day happens. I will say, just since I was injured and playing golf now and having gotten married and starting a family, my life — I think my perspective has changed and my priorities I think are in order," Cauley said. "So it’s not the most important thing in the world to me, but it is very important. I work really hard at it, so that’s why I come out here and play is to try to win tournaments."
Here is the complete payout breakdown for every player at the 2026 RBC Canadian Open:
