Rory McIlroy returns to competitive action on the PGA Tour for the first time in three weeks at the RBC Canadian Open. We have listed when McIlroy and others tee off in the first and second rounds at TPC Toronto below.
McIlroy, 36, controversially shunned the media all four tournament days in his last start at the PGA Championship from 12-15 May.
The Masters champion endured a frustrating week with a T47 at one of his favourite Tour stops in the world, Quail Hollow Club.

It was confirmed during the first round that McIlroy’s ‘gamer’ driver was deemed ‘non-conforming’ by the USGA and so he was forced to change it.
McIlroy then chose to decline all media requests from Thursday through to Sunday.
He then ruffled a few more feathers when refusing to play in Jack Nicklaus’ Memorial Tournament last week.
That marked the first time he had missed the golf legend’s annual PGA Tour event since 2017.
Nicklaus also confirmed that McIlroy had not even bothered to text or call him to let him know why he was not playing in his tournament.
It’s fair to say the World No.2 has plenty to answer for during his press conference at the RBC Canadian Open, which is scheduled to take place around his pro-am tee time on Wednesday.
GolfMagic believes five hot topics will likely arise during McIlroy’s press conference.
Once McIlroy has addressed the media on Wednesday, he will turn his attention to winning a third RBC Canadian Open.
The Northern Irishman won this event in 2019 and 2022 on different courses, and it was considered a title defence given the tournament did not take place in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the Covid lockdown.
McIlroy won at Hamilton in 2019 and at St George’s in 2021.
This week’s RBC Canadian Open takes place on the North Course at TPC Toronto in Ontario.
Other PGA Tour stars in action include Sweden’s Ludivg Aberg, Ireland’s Shane Lowry and Canada’s home hope Corey Conners.
Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre is back to defend his title.
GolfMagic has listed the Round 1 and Round 2 Tee Times at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open below.
McIlroy is out with Aberg and Luke Clanton off the 10th hole in the first round at 7.40am local time on Thursday.
The three-ball will then start off the 1st tee in the second round at 12.55pm on Friday.
