The 2026 Dow Championship format has been announced for the third year of the event, which is the first official two-person team event in LPGA history, to be played at Midland Country Club in Midland, Mich.

The Dow Championship field is 140 players as 70 teams of two.

The top 70 players from the 2026 LPGA Priority List will have the opportunity to choose their playing partner, who must have LPGA Tour playing status. There are four sponsor exemptions, who must play together.

Dow Championship format

The Dow Championship format is a 72-hole event. The field is divided into morning and afternoon waves for the first two rounds, with players competing in foursomes each day. The same foursomes play together in each of the first two rounds, with one round starting on No. 1 tee and one round on No. 10 tee. There's one round in the morning wave and one round in the afternoon wave.

The first round and third rounds will be foursomes (alternate shot), and the second and final rounds will be fourballs (best ball). A cut will be made after 36 holes to the top 33 teams and ties. If there is a tie after 72 holes, a sudden-death playoff will be played under foursomes.

For the third and fourth rounds, pairings and tee times are made based on each team's total score through two and three rounds, respectively. Teams with the highest total score go first, then in descending order until the two teams with the lowest total score in the final group.

The team with the lowest total score after 72 holes is the winner.

A playoff to settle any ties after 72 holes will be played under LPGA Tour rules. The Dow Championship playoff format is a sudden-death format, with playoff holes being 18, played by any qualifying teams. The teams compete hole-by-hole until a winner is determined by a player scoring the lowest among the remaining players.

The players on the winning team will split the winner's share from the $3.3 million purse, and there are one-year exemptions into the ANA Inspiration, KPMG Women's PGA Championship and The Evian Championship for the winners. Points for the Race to the CME Globe will be awarded, too.

Each week, including this week's 2026 RBC Canadian Open, Golf News Net offers daily fantasy golf (DFS) advice, picks, lineups and tips for DraftKings PGA Tour games, scrutinizing the pricing model and looking for players who will perform best in both guaranteed prize pool (GPP) events and cash games.

As with each and every tournament, we're trying to set a six-player lineup with a salary of $50,000 against the salaries set by DraftKings. FanDuel offers a similar game, and the recommendations can apply just the same to their contests and tournaments.

PGA Tour DFS strategy relies on three tenets:

1. Creating lineups that have low duplication rates, making it less likely that others will have the exact same players as you
2. Finding players that will finish highly in the tournament, earning bonuses based on their finish
3. Identifying players that make plenty of birdies and eagles while dropping as few shots as possible, which obviously plays into a player's finish

However, we don't just use our model when making these picks. We also need to look at current form, course fits and horses for courses. This data can and should help inform our decision making, including validating things we see in the model. If everything lines up, then a player can become an auto-play. If only some parts of the equation suggest a player will perform well this week, then we may look more tepidly at investing in a player.

2026 RBC Canadian Open history and current PGA Tour finish trends

Finish Trends

Recent PGA Tour Trends

We start by looking at the recent past, back at players who have finished inside the top 15 in the last five individual PGA Tour events. This week, we're including players in the PGA Tour fields this week.

• Clark, Wyndham - 2 - WIN The Nelson, 3rd Memorial
• Cole, Eric - 3 - T-6 Myrtle Beach Classic, P-2 Colonial, T-8 Memorial
• Greyserman, Max - 2 - T-14 PGA Championship, T-9 The Nelson
• Koepka, Brooks - 2 - T-11 Myrtle Beach Classic, T-14 The Nelson
• Meissner, Mac - 2 - T-9 Myrtle Beach Classic, T-3 Colonial
• Rai, Aaron - 2 - T-5 Myrtle Beach Classic, WIN PGA Championship
• Rose, Justin - 2 - T-10 PGA Championship, T-12 Memorial

Event Finish History

We like to look for potential horses for courses with most PGA Tour events, particularly those with regular host courses. We're typically looking at players who finished in the top 15 at the RBC Canadian Open in the last five years, keeping in mind that we've only had one year at this venue in a tournament that moves around.

• Burns, Sam - 3
• Conners, Corey - 2
• Fox, Ryan - 2
• Lowry, Shane - 2
• Mitchell, Keith - 2
• Rai, Aaron - 3
• Rose, Justin - 2
• Taylor, Nick - 2

Course Fits

A player is a course fit -- or a potential course fit, at least -- if their Strokes Gained breakout when they finish in the top 25 is similar to the average for top-25 finishers at this week's RBC Canadian Open.

But we've only had one year of TPC Toronto, so nothing to be drawn from one year.

Find course fits using our member-only tool which shows this week's course numbers relative to the field.

I've also created a new listing which helps you find correlated courses by looking at the course fit breakdown for each recurring host course on the PGA Tour.

Good luck this week!

The PGA Tour this week features the 2026 RBC Canadian Open starting on Thursday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Canada.

My PGA Tour field ranking for RBC Canadian Open looks at the top 10 players in this 145-player field that brings together the best in the world for one of the longest-running national opens.

The RBC Canadian Open marks the return of the PGA Tour to Canada for the event leading into the US Open.

Ryan Fox defending champion here, and he had to go a long time last year against Sam Burns to get the win in a playoff.

Just a reminder that I make my expert picks looking at all fantasy leagues and formats. Whether you're playing in a fantasy golf leagues, betting on golf, or competing in a DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) event, our picks highlight the top PGA Tour golfers to watch this week from our 2026 RBC Canadian Open rankings.

2026 RBC Canadian Open expert picks and rankings

1. Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood was close to winning last week and is headed in the right direction leading into a US Open venue he loved.

2. Matt Fitzpatrick: Fitz struggled last week at a venue he likes and on a course setup type where he seems to thrive. So maybe the opposite will work this week?

3. Collin Morikawa: Morikawa didn't play the Siggy last week so that he can play this, so I would expect some strong play.

4. Wyndham Clark: Clark has been on a roll lately, and he did well last week at a venue that shouldn't fit his normal game. This one does.

5. Sam Burns: Burns had a great run last week, and he had a great run here last year. Put them together and like him this week.

SAVE ON GNN MEMBERSHIP: Join now, and get 2 years for $70 OR 3 years for $100! (One year is $40.) Access all our winning tools and analysis!

6. Kris Reitan: Reitan has been brilliant this year, and I think this venue will work to his strength as a bomber.

7. Viktor Hovland: Hovland is an injury concern here this week since he didn't play at Memorial, but I think he can break out of a slump here.

8. Shane Lowry: Lowry has been close so many times this year, and eventually I feel he's going to break through for a win.

9. Brooks Koepka: Koepka hasn't been as close to a victory as Lowry has this year, but he's heading in the right direction.

10. Nick Taylor: Taylor has been playing some decent golf, and he has to be on the list as the last Canadian to win this championship.

The 2026 US Open field is set with the passing of the PGA Tour tournament entry deadline. The field is set for this USGA-run major champonship event, played at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, from June 18-21, 2026.

The US Open field is headlined by the likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Schffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Young and more.

This is set to be a 156-player field is played out over four days, with this event marking the 25th tournament of the 2026 PGA Tour schedule.

The tournament is being played in its originally intended slot, with this being the USGA's national championship played again at Shinnecock Hills, a founding club of the USGA.

We do not have Monday qualifiers for this event, which will be played Thursday though Sunday. Approximately one-fourth of the field was decided via final qualifying events. Seven spots are being held open for players that may win this week on the PGA Tour or get into the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

The US Open alternate list has already been set, though it is a bit of a secret who are currently sitting as the first two players on the list after a handful of players were added on Sunday night.

The field will be playing for a $21.5 million purse (based on 2024 figures), with 50 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking among the top contenders.

The 2026 US Open is the third men's major of the year and yet another PGA Tour event of the calendar year to offer an open qualifying.

US Open qualifying is a two-stage process, with local qualifying sites around the country and then a second stage known as final qualifying (formerly sectional qualifying). Final qualifying determines the players who earn US Open spots, with 43 spots on the line in total.

The USGA allocates approximately 50 spots in the field for qualifiers, with 156 total players in the field. The tournament is played this year at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York.

Qualifiers are open to any professionals or players with a USGA handicap index of 1.4 or lower, and they must enter by the April deadline. There are 13 total final qualifying sites, with 11 in the United States and Canada. There are two overseas qualifiers which are played ahead of the final qualifying day in North America.

Two alternates are decided at each site, and they are added to the US Open alternate list, which the USGA uses to fill the field based on unfilled exemptions and withdrawals. The ordering of the players on the list is unclear, but it is based on strength of field in each final qualifier.

For the 2026 US Open, each hosting association runs the tournament on behalf of the USGA.

The last open qualifier to win on the PGA Tour is Corey Conners, who won the 2019 Valero Texas Open after Monday qualifying.Orville Moody was the last player to win the US Open after advancing through local qualifying, winning the US Open in 1969.

The tournament's host course has been at the Doug Carrick design for the seocnd year running.

TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley plays as a par-70 golf course, playing to a scorecard distance of 7,389 yards, not making it one of the longest golf course on the PGA Tour. Four courses on the PGA Tour player under 7,000 yards, and two of them are for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley scorecard breakdown

TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley has two par 5s, four par 3s and 12 par 4s, and the golf course finishes with an incredible par-5 finish with a challenging tee shot and a difficult approach that requires taking on water.

The par 3s have a variety of looks and lengths, with one that's a short iron and one that's a long iron per side.

The par 4s are the biggest test of the course, ranging in length, style and challenge. The player has to be comfortable hitting a straight ball or working it both ways.

TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley course breakdown

Now that we know the layout of the golf course, what else makes TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley a challenge?

The golf course has a primary defense of the putting surfaces, which Doug Carrick makes particularly tricky and are the biggest challenge for the pros.

The par 5s are a must-get set of holes, and the par 4s are really meant to be survived at this distance.

The par 3s are of good variability, with one longer one and one shorter one per side.

The biggest chunk of my rubric relies on strokes gained, as well our derivative, Quality Strokes Gained, which weights a player's strokes gained against the depth of field they face. The rubric looks at this data over the longer term and medium term to derive a player's quality across the tour and across different fields. I include specific weighting of strokes gained and Quality Strokes Gained against the field strength that week, creating a range of comparison to see how players do against particular competition.

Next, the rubric accounts for two factors I look at every week: current form in the last 10 PGA Tour events played and their average strokes gained on the host course in the last three years.

All told, the model is designed to point out quality players and boost those middling players who have good current form or good course history.

While I think a long-term view of a player's performance is the best way to measure their potential, there's no doubt that short-term heaters happen. To that end, for GNN members, I also have a short-term model that compares a player's performance to his peers over the last 10 PGA Tour events.

2026 RBC Canadian Open betting picks

The RBC Canadian Open is the 24th event of the season, and the PGA Tour heads to Canada for an awesome national open.

This is a tournament filled with RBC-sponsored top players, and they're trying to get ready for the US Open as well. It'll be tough to adapt TPC Toronto to that test, though, and it might be tough to predict winners from the top players. Let's go deeper.

Kris Reitan played great last week at Memorial, and I'd expect that good play to continue here on an easier course.

Brooks Koepka has been heading in the right direction, and I think this could be where he gets his welcome-back win.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju intrigues me this week, as he's Canadian and had a tremendous rookie season on Tour.

PGA Tour one-and-done is perhaps the best fantasy golf game, with season-long leagues that give players a chance to pick one player for each tournament in the league season.

Once again in 2026, we offer weekly PGA Tour one-and-done golf picks for leagues of all kinds, including survivor leagues where the selected player must make the cut for the entry to continue to the next tournament.

We continue our 2026 PGA Tour one-and-done picks with the 2026 RBC Canadian Open, concluding at the 2026 Tour Championship, keeping track of our picks all along the way.

Before we begin, if you're not familiar with game, read this primer on the one-and-done fantasy golf format, and welcome to the game. It really is as easy as it sounds, but you have to take a long-term view of the season to figure out how best to use players.

This week, we have the RBC Canadian Open, with the PGA Tour heading back to TPC Toronto, which the players kind of beat up last year if they were able to stay out of the water and forests.

It's RBC Canadian Open week, and the 144-player field this week is taking on a test that will be a beautiful tour around Ontario, complete with some tough tee shots and tricky greens.

This isn't quite a go-low tournament, but hanging around 10 under isn't go to do it, either.

Our long-shot picks last week did great, but the one-and-done obvious picks didn't.

2026 RBC Canadian Open One and Done picks

• Wyndham Clark: Clark played really well at the Memorial, and this tournament should suit him even more.
• Tommy Fleetwood: Fleetwood is trending in a better direction, and he's had a close call at a different Canadian Open venue.
• Kris Reitan: Reitan did what we thought he would at Muirfield Village, and he should do well again this week.
• Collin Morikawa: Morikawa has to dial in this week so he can ready for the US Open, so I expect that.

My pick this week is Wyndham Clark.
