Maxwell Sear of Markham, Ont., and Jared du Toit of Kimberley, B.C., earned two of four spots in the Monday qualifier, giving Canada a record number of entries in a PGA Tour event not hosted on Canadian soil since the tour began keeping track in 1970.
Eight Canadians have played in nine events on the PGA Tour — all since 2018.
Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., Michael Gligic of Burlington, Ont., and Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., are the other Canadians in the field.
The event starts a day earlier than usual on Wednesday to avoid going head-to-head with the NFL conference championship games on Sunday.
