Before getting to specifics its possible the PGA will fix the new issue that arose in 2023 moving forward, as they had to rush into a designated schedule format.  And as you will see below there are some other dates during July they can give Canada.   My suggestion is that if they still want to designate Harford, they should move that event to July.   I just don't trust the PGA when it comes to this.

The date that we have now (which has existed since about 2018) was fine until 2022.   We have had that date since they made schedule changes to move the PGA Championship.

It was a good date before this year - the week before the US open, and players that did not want to play 4 times in 4 weeks could choose between the Canadian Open and the Hartford Open.

Now they all choose the Hartford Open as it was designated - that is my issue - why was the Hartford Open designated?   I'm not even suggesting that the Canadian Open should have been designated above it.    But designating Canada or designating neither would have made much more sense.

Now in the span of 4 weeks you have A Designated Event.  The Canadian Open, the US Open, and then a designated event.   Players don't like doing 4 events in 4 weeks.

All of the following would have been better for Canadian Open if you insist on designating Hartford -- June 29, July 6, July 27.

It reminds me of the killer place we were on the schedule prior to 2018 - the week after the British, and in the middle of 3 big events.    John Deere had much better spot on the schedule for example.
British Open
Canadian Open
World Championship (Firestone)
