2025 RBC Canadian Open TV ratings: Viewership up from a year ago
Ryan Fox earned his second PGA Tour win of the season — and the second of his career —when he outlasted Sam Burns in a marathon sudden-death playoff at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open over the weekend.
Fox and Burns played four extra holes, each making par on the par-5 18th the first three trips down until Fox hit a beautiful second shot with a fairway wood and made birdie on the fourth rendition to end it.
Fox took home a cool $1.764 million for his trouble and an exemption into the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont this week.
The excitement of a national open always draws eyes, especially with an exhilarating finish like that. According to Sports Business Journal's Josh Carpenter, CBS reported 2.376 million viewers tuned in to the RBC Canadian Open, up 18 percent from a year ago when Robert MacIntyre hoisted the trophy.
Still, 2023 remains the gold standard in terms of viewership for this event. Canadian Nick Taylor's thrilling playoff victory over Tommy Fleetwood drew 3.304 million viewers, according to SBJ.

Viktor Hovland withdraws from 2025 Travelers Championship in final round, citing neck injury
Viktor Hovland withdrew from the 2025 Travelers Championship with a neck injury just two holes into his final round Sunday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Hovland appeared to wince in pain after hitting his first tee shot of the day. He made par on No. 1, bogey on No. 2, then called it quits. The 27-year-old from Norway shot 7-under 63 on Saturday and entered the final round flirting with the top 10. His withdrawal means he likely misses out on a solid chunk of the $20 million purse at the Travelers, which is the PGA Tour's final signature event of 2025. Hovland is the fourth player to withdraw mid-tournament this week at TPC River Highlands. Jordan Spieth withdrew Thursday, also citing a neck injury, and Si Woo Kim did the same on Friday with a back injury before Eric Cole withdrew due to illness early Sunday morning. Hovland entered Connecticut fresh off a solo third-place finish in the U.S. Open at Oakmont last week. He's No. 22 in the FedEx Cup standings, having already won on the PGA Tour this season at the Valspar Championship in March.
