There is perhaps no more prestigious event missing from Jack Nicklaus’ career resume than the Canadian Open, with the Golden Bear finishing second on seven occasions. The likes of Sam Snead, Lee Trevino, Greg Norman and Rory McIlroy have won the Canadian Open more than once. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods produced one of the most iconic shots of his career at the event in 2000 with his approach from the bunker on 18. But incredibly, Jack Nicklaus never actually won the Canadian Open.

Bryson DeChambeau is going to be one of the favourites to win next week’s US Open, with the LIV Golf star heading to Oakmont as the defending champion. Of course, few will ever forget what unfolded at Pinehurst 12 months ago as Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy battled it out over the back nine. It was DeChambeau who managed to get across the line for his second major title. DeChambeau has been outstanding in the majors, particularly over the last 18 months.

Phil Mickelson headed to Oakmont for the 2007 US Open with a real point to prove following the conclusion of the previous year’s event when a double bogey on the final hole saw him lose by one. Of course, it is well known that the US Open has been the hurdle which Phil Mickelson has not been able to clear in his career. It is actually the major in which he has registered the most top two finishes. But unfortunately, it is also the one major he is yet to win.

Unsurprisingly, Rory McIlroy is dominating much of the talk in the game of golf right now, with the Northern Irishman set to make his first appearance since the PGA Championship at the Canadian Open. There was plenty of interest in what Rory McIlroy would say, if he spoke to the media, ahead of the Canadian Open. It is fair to say that the PGA Championship was an extremely underwhelming week for the 36-year-old.
