PGA Tour one-and-done is perhaps the best fantasy golf game, with season-long leagues that give players a chance to pick one player for each tournament in the league season.

Once again in 2025, we offer weekly PGA Tour one-and-done golf picks for leagues of all kinds, including survivor leagues where the selected player must make the cut for the entry to continue to the next tournament.

We continue our 2025 PGA Tour one-and-done picks with the 2025 RBC Canadian Open, concluding at the 2025 Tour Championship, keeping track of our picks all along the way.

Before we begin, if you're not familiar with game, read this primer on the one-and-done fantasy golf format, and welcome to the game. It really is as easy as it sounds, but you have to take a long-term view of the season to figure out how best to use players.

This week, we have the RBC Canadian Open, with the PGA Tour moving from Ohio to Ontario for a new venue in TPC Toronto.

It's RBC Canadian Open week, and Rory McIlroy is back in action as the two-time Canadian winner skipped the Memorial last week.

It was a tough week to predict with a completely new venue, so there's no course history to work with here this week.

My one-and-done recommendations fall into one of two categories: players who are in current form and those who have great course experience.

2025 RBC Canadian Open One and Done picks

Current form

  • Alex Noren: Since I am keeping top-20 players out of the lineup this week, Noren's great run at the PGA could be a good sign here.
  • Corey Conners: In absence of course data, just go after ballstrikers, and this guy fits the bill.
  • Mackenzie Hughes: Mac had a crack at winning in Myrtle Beach and has been playing pretty well.
  • Keith Mitchell: When in doubt, maybe it's time to pick the first-round king.

My pick this week is Alex Noren.
