"As a leading global financial institution, we have the opportunity to partner with world class sports professionals like Furyk, Kuchar and Els.
"These players are well-respected and have global recognition; they will be great ambassadors for RBC and the charitable causes we support."
Furyk, Kuchar and Els join Anthony Kim, Fred Couples, Luke Donald, Stephen Ames, Mike Weir and Morgan Pressel as RBC's golf ambassadors.
RBC will continue to leverage its golf program to raise funds for important charitable causes, in particular children's charities.
