Nick Taylor’s putter drop immortalized in new RBC Canadian Open logo

Dec 1, 2023 | 9:25 AM

Nick Taylor’s epic putt to win the RBC Canadian Open this summer was already iconic. 

Now it’s been incorporated into an icon.

Golf Canada, title sponsor RBC, and tournament organizers announced Friday a tweak to the event’s logo for 2024, featuring Taylor’s silhouette. 

The previous logo had an old-school golfer wearing a newsboy cap replacing the “I” in “Canadian.” Taylor’s putter-drop image is now in its place.

Golf Canada’s chief marketing officer Tim McLaughlin said in a release the organization was excited to pay tribute to Taylor’s win. Taylor, of Abbotsford, B.C., defeated England’s Tommy Fleetwood on the fourth playoff hole at Oakdale Golf and Country Club with a 72-foot eagle.
