A week ahead of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, and after having his old Qi10 driver fail a USGA test, Rory's got a new driver in the bag in Canada.

McIlroy, who led the Tour in earnings from the week after The Players Championship until Scottie Scheffler won last week’s Memorial, trails Scheffler by $580,357. He can regain the lead with a finish of solo third or better ($676,200).

Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion and world number two, playing for the first time since the US PGA last month, experienced a lowkey return to tournament play in the RBC Canada Open with a bogey-bogey finish to his first round 71, one-over-par, that left him trailing clubhouse leaders Taylor Pendrith and Alex Smalley by six strokes.
