It used to have the worst possible slot on the schedule when it was the week after the Open Championship. Now it has a fine spot ahead of the US open, especially if they keep the venuessomewhat close geographically to the US Open venues.
But yeah, in every way imaginable, this was a couple orders of magnitude a better tournament than the liv tournament. The Canadian OPen really started getting a bit of momentum in 2019 in its new spot and then Covid ruined everything.
Rory and JT's takes on the liv tour have been spot on and it was great for golf to see them compete head to head in a great atmosphere.
Oh, one last thing, the World Rankings of the top 3 at the LIV tournament:125, 134, 123 and 332 (T3).
World rankings of the top 3 at Canadian open: 3,15,5.
