TPC Toronto Sets the Stage for a Canadian Open Sunday to Remember

There's something about a tournament's final round that transforms a golf course from mere acreage into an arena. TPC Toronto will play that role on Sunday, and if Saturday's fireworks were any indication, this Canadian Open conclusion will be worth every moment of your afternoon.
A Course Awakens
TPC Toronto has shown its teeth this week, but it also rewarded brilliance when deserved. The layout demanded precision off the tee and courage on approaches, yet it gave back generously to those who rose to the occasion. Heavy overnight rains expected Saturday night have forced organizers to adjust Sunday's format to split tees and threesomes—a reminder that golf, at its finest, remains a conversation between player and elements.
I've always believed that weather complications, rather than diminishing a tournament's drama, actually amplify it. Players must adapt, caddies must recalculate, and fans must embrace the beautiful chaos that makes this game so compelling.
The Contenders Take the Stage
Jackson Suber carries the 54-hole lead into Sunday, but the story everyone's buzzing about is Wyndham Clark. Starting his third round three and a half hours before the final group and six shots adrift, Clark turned in a scorching 63 that has positioned him just two back heading into the finale.
This is a man on a mission. After a win last month and a T3 finish at last week's Memorial, Clark is hunting his second victory in three starts. The resurrection is real after what he described as a rough 2025 and inconsistent early 2026.
"I've actually played pretty solid golf most of the year, I just haven't done it for consecutive rounds," Clark explained Saturday. "And then the missing part has kind of been the putting. Since I switched to this Ping putter, it's been amazing."
At 11 under, Clark shares his position with Tommy Fleetwood, who'll play in the penultimate group, and two others. Between them and Suber sits Bud Cauley at 12 under, setting up a final group that reads like a playoff scenario waiting to happen.
Sunday Tee Times: The Key Pairings
The final group of Clark, Suber, and Cauley tees off at 12:45 p.m. ET, but there's compelling golf to watch before that marquee trio takes the stage:
- 11:47 a.m. ET – Robert MacIntyre, Shane Lowry, Sahith Theegala
- 11:58 a.m. ET – Viktor Hovland, David Skinns, Matt Fitz
- 11:36 a.m. ET – Luke Clanton, Max Homa, William Mouw
- 11:14 a.m. ET – Adam Hadwin, Alejandro Tosti, Collin Morikawa
That 11:47 a.m. grouping alone—MacIntyre, Lowry, and Theegala—could produce a highlight reel for the ages. And don't sleep on Tony Finau, teeing off at 10:52 a.m. alongside Keith Mitchell and Sam Ryder. Finau has the firepower to post a number and put pressure on everyone behind him.
How to Watch
Golf Channel carries coverage from 1-3 p.m. ET before CBS takes the broadcast home from 3-6 p.m. ET. For the early action, PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ begins streaming at 7:45 a.m. ET with featured group and featured hole coverage throughout.
The Takeaway
TPC Toronto has delivered a week of quality golf, and Sunday's finale has all the ingredients for something memorable. A resurgent star in Clark, an underdog lead in Suber, dangerous lurkers like Fleetwood and Cauley, and course conditions that could shift with any passing cloud. This is why we watch, and this is why the Canadian Open remains one of the Tour's most cherished stops. Clear your Sunday afternoon—you won't want to miss how this unfolds.
