PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida — Not only is there exciting news around the RBC Canadian Open, but Canadian golf as a whole, said Laurence Applebaum, CEO of Golf Canada.
There are eight Canadians with PGA Tour status this year — nine if you count Graham DeLaet, who is on a major medical exemption and 10 if you count Weir, as a past major champion — which is the most ever.
He also points to the success of Team RBC members Dustin Johnson (as world no.1) and new Team RBC member Webb Simpson (as defending champion at The Players) as something else that’s been a positive through late 2018 and early 2019.
“We want to keep that momentum going,” he said — with a smile, of course.
