Ryan Fox Triumphs in RBC Canadian Open Playoff to Claim $1.764 Million Prize

RBC Canadian Open 2025: The PGA Tour made its annual visit to Canada this week, presenting a hefty $9.8 million purse, including a top prize of $1.764 million. The tournament delivered edge-of-your-seat action, ending in a playoff between Ryan Fox and Sam Burns.

New Zealand’s Ryan Fox emerged victorious after a tense four-hole playoff, defeating Sam Burns. Fox had previously won the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic just a few weeks ago, also via playoff. With this latest win, he not only bags another $1.764 million check but also becomes the first New Zealander to win twice in a single PGA Tour season.

Fox delivered a clutch birdie on the 72nd hole to finish at 18-under with a round of 66, matching Burns’ total. Burns posted a brilliant 62 earlier in the day to leap 15 spots up the leaderboard. Ultimately, Fox held his nerve and secured victory with a birdie on the fourth playoff hole.

Burns Takes Home Over $1 Million

Despite a remarkable 8-under final round, Sam Burns narrowly missed out on the title. Struggling with his putter in the playoff, he settled for second place and earned $1,068,200.

Kevin Yu, who led briefly on Sunday, closed with a 66 to claim solo third and $676,200. Cameron Young and Matt McCarty tied for fourth at $441,000 each. Young’s chances slipped away with a bogey on the final hole. Meanwhile, Byeong Hun An, Andrew Putnam, and Matteo Manassero finished tied for sixth, each earning $330,750.
