TORONTO – The RBC Canadian Open, one of the jewels of the national sports calendar, was cancelled Friday as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PGA Tour announced the cancellation of the tournament as part of its revamped 2020 schedule. The four-day competition was scheduled to begin June 11 at St.
George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto. The Canadian Open, first contested in 1904, is the third-oldest continuously running tournament on the PGA Tour behind the British Open and the U.S.
Open. It’s the first time the tournament has been cancelled since 1944, when it missed a second straight year due to the Second World War.
