Corey Conners (+2000)

The Canadian golfer is one of the most underrated players on TOUR and is looking for a breakthrough win at his home event. Conners has been consistent with several top-10 finishes this season and could thrive on home turf at TPC Toronto.

Nick Taylor (+5500)

Taylor made history as the first Canadian to win the RBC Canadian Open in 69 years, and with solid iron play and a win at the Sony Open, he could be in for another deep run this year.
