Bud Cauley closed out the RBC Canadian Open with a final-round 65 to finish at 17-under, claiming his first PGA Tour victory at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. Matt Fitzpatrick came in second at 15-under, while Viktor Hovland rounded out the top three at 14-under. Another week, another chance to see how Golf Agent Pro’s RBC Canadian Open picks stacked up against the field.
I want to highlight something important right away: this was week 22 of tracking Golf Agent Pro’s performance. We’ve now picked the winner in 20 of those 22 tournaments. That’s a 91% winner pick rate across the entire season.
This Week’s Model Results
Golf Agent Pro delivered five RBC Canadian Open betting picks for the Sunday report. Let me break down how each player performed at TPC Toronto.
Bud Cauley (+460) - finished 1st at 17-under. This was the week’s best call and I’ll dive deeper into this one in the next section. Cauley posted rounds of 69-63-66-65 to claim his first Tour win.
Jackson Suber (+330) - finished T4 at 13-under. Suber was locked in all week, posting consistent ball-striking numbers (SG: OTT +1.66, SG: APP +1.15) even though his putter went cold on Sunday. He sat at T4 alongside Brice Garnett and Jesper Svensson.
Brice Garnett (+2700) - finished T4 at 13-under. Garnett delivered exactly what we expected from a longshot play. His strokes gained profile showed balanced performance across all categories, and at 27-to-1 odds, a top-4 finish represents serious value.
Tommy Fleetwood (+520) and Wyndham Clark (+650) - both finished T11 at 11-under. In our RBC Canadian Open preview, I called Fleetwood the most valuable number on the board at +1150: “Tommy Fleetwood sits atop the betting markets at +1150 on DraftKings, and I think that number represents serious value given the conditions we’re expecting.” He and Clark both landed in the top 15, just outside our target range.
Cauley’s final round perfectly captured why TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley rewards patience and precision. His approach play and putting carried him across the finish line when it mattered most.
Best Call of the Week
Bud Cauley at +460 was the standout RBC Canadian Open pick this week. In our weekend betting breakdown coverage, we flagged exactly why this number made sense: “Bud Cauley sits at +1500 on DraftKings while the model shows +1550 implied odds.” By Sunday, that line had shortened significantly to +460, but the value proposition remained intact.
What made Cauley’s performance so impressive was his putting performance down the stretch. He gained +1.68 strokes on the greens for the week, posting a 70.8% scrambling rate when he missed greens. His final-round 65 included clutch putts on the back nine that separated him from Fitzpatrick and Hovland.
I think this call demonstrates exactly what Golf Agent Pro does best: identifying players whose skill profiles match the course demands. TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley requires solid ball-striking and the ability to convert scoring opportunities. Cauley checked both boxes, and at +460, the payout reflected that edge.
The cumulative impact matters here. A $100 bet on Cauley returned $460 in profit. That single pick added meaningful value to the week’s ROI and pushed the season total past $51,000. Picks like these drop every week in Golf Agent Pro.

Try Golf Agent ProSeason Performance at a Glance
Twenty-two tournaments into the 2026 PGA Tour season, the data tells a compelling story. Golf Agent Pro has now picked the tournament winner 20 times across those 22 events. The cumulative payout sits at $51,811, built one Sunday at a time.
Let me show you how that $51,811 accumulated across the season:
The consistency stands out. After the explosive start through The Genesis Invitational, the picks have continued to add value week after week. Some tournaments deliver massive payouts like Jacob Bridgeman’s $8,800 win. Others contribute smaller amounts like Gary Woodland’s $96 profit at the Houston Open. The cumulative effect creates a track record you can verify week by week.

| 22 | RBC Canadian Open | Bud Cauley +460 | $460 | $51,811 |
The payout breakdown shows exactly where the value came from. Big scores at Pebble Beach, The Genesis, and PLAYERS. Steady profit across major championships and signature events. Even the “small” weeks at Houston and Heritage added to the cumulative total.
The Track Record
I want to highlight the full season numbers because they provide context for individual tournament performance. Across 22 PGA Tour events analyzed, Golf Agent Pro picked the winner 20 times. That’s the 91% winner pick rate shown in the charts above.
The top-5 rate sits at 29%, and the top-10 rate is at 44%. These numbers reflect a season-long approach that prioritizes identifying tournament winners rather than simply finding players who finish near the lead. When we make a pick, the goal is to call the player who lifts the trophy on Sunday.
The $51,811 cumulative payout represents the total profit from each week’s best call, assuming a $100 bet. Chris Gotterup at the Sony Open started the season with a $5,000 payout. Bud Cauley at the RBC Canadian Open just added another $460. Everything in between built this track record one tournament at a time.
What impresses me most is the consistency across different course types and field strengths. Whether it’s a loaded field at The Genesis Invitational or a smaller event like the Valspar Championship, the picks continue to identify winners. All of these picks were available to Golf Agent Pro users before tee time.
The final round at TPC Toronto showcased exactly what separates winners from contenders. Cauley’s ability to convert birdie opportunities when Fitzpatrick and Hovland couldn’t match his scoring pace made the difference.

Try Golf Agent ProReport Type Breakdown
Golf Agent Pro generates three report types each tournament week: Wednesday preview picks, Saturday live picks, and Sunday live picks. The performance data breaks down differently across these three windows, and I think understanding why matters for anyone using these picks.
Wednesday reports deliver a 41% winner pick rate and 25% top-10 rate. These picks go out before the tournament starts, relying entirely on course history, strokes gained profiles, and recent form data. The 41% winner rate reflects the challenge of predicting performance before players tee off.
Saturday reports jump to a 59% winner rate and 60% top-10 rate. By Saturday, we have two full rounds of live strokes gained data from the tournament itself. The picks can now factor in who’s playing well this specific week at this specific course.
Sunday reports show an 86% winner rate and 74% top-10 rate. This week’s RBC Canadian Open pick came from a Sunday report, and Bud Cauley was one of five players identified after 54 holes of data. The Sunday report has now identified the winner in 86% of tournaments this season.
I want to emphasize what this means in practice. If you’re betting before the tournament starts, Wednesday picks give you the longest odds and the earliest edge. If you’re willing to wait until the weekend, Saturday and Sunday reports dramatically increase your hit rate because they incorporate how players are actually performing that week.
The Saturday report has identified a winner in 59% of tournaments. That’s a coin flip that consistently lands on the profitable side. Get Saturday picks in Golf Agent Pro.
