Rick Highlights Three Canadians for Canadian Open Expert Picks
Rick’s Running with Rick segment put three Canadians in the frame for the canadian open as the PGA TOUR’s Expert Picks previewed the event. The new season also brings a new evolution for Expert Picks, including fantasy analysis, betting picks and updates coming to the PGA TOUR Fantasy Game in 2026.
Running With Rick
The preview centered on “Running with Rick: Three Canadians to back at RBC Canadian Open,” a clear sign that the national open is being framed through the home-country players first. Rick was the host behind that segment, and the PGA TOUR article used it to steer attention toward the Canadian angle before the tournament action begins.
That same setup also pushed the fantasy side of the event into focus. Each week, the experts will offer picks and analysis for the fantasy game, including insight on who will captain their roster for extra points, while Golfbet’s experts will share betting picks that have caught their eye.
PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf
The mechanics are part of the pitch. Users can submit their rosters via PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf, and each lineup consists of four starters, including a captain, and two bench players that can be rotated after each round. Every golfer can be used only three times per each of the three segments, so roster choices have to stretch across the full contest format.
That structure matters because the tour is not just previewing the RBC Canadian Open as a standalone event. It is tying the tournament to a broader fantasy product that gives fans a free way to play, with the PGA TOUR Experts league open to the public and sign-up handled through the LEAGUES tab, where users can choose JOIN A LEAGUE to search for it.
2026 Updates
The biggest change is still ahead. The article says fans have new updates to the PGA TOUR Fantasy Game in 2026, and those updates include in-tournament rostering features. Golfbet’s Fantasy Insider Rob Bolton also breaks down the field in this week’s edition of the Power Rankings, giving the preview another layer of analysis around the same tournament.
The article listed Will Gray as Senior Manager, TOUR & Golfbet Editorial & Distribution, and Chris Breece as Senior Content Manager, Golfbet. It also included 1-800-522-4700 for people with a gambling problem, a reminder that the betting piece sits alongside the fantasy setup and not outside it.
