PGA Tour RBC Canadian Open Trivia and Notes: On the PGA Tour, only the BMW Championship (formerly Western Open) is older than the Canadian Open. Among national championships, only the British Open and U.S. Open are older than the Canadian Open. The Canadian Open was first played in 1904 and John H. Oke was the first champion. The tournament was only 36 holes in length in its first three years. It switched to a 72-hole format in 1907. The only four-time winner of this event is Leo Diegel, who won in 1924-25 and 1928-29. Three-time winners are Tommy Armour (1927, 1930, 1934), Sam Snead (1938, 1950, 1941) and Lee Trevino (1971, 1977, 1979).
