5 Best Active Canadian Golfers on the PGA Tour, Ranked

The depth of Canadian talent on the PGA Tour has never been this strong.

While no player has the star power of Mike Weir, the lone Canadian male to win a major championship, the generation he inspired by claiming the 2003 Masters Tournament is writing its legacy.  

Four different Canadians overcame their golf odds to win PGA Tour events during the 2022-23 season, the most ever in a single season, and three of them have cracked my rankings of the five best active Canadian golfers on the PGA Tour.

5 Best Active Canadian Golfers on the PGA Tour, Ranked

Best Canadian Golfers on the PGA Tour Right Now

1. Corey Conners: Kitchener, Ontario

Conners has two PGA Tour wins, both coming at the Valero Texas Open (2019 and 2023); however, his consistency is what sets him apart from his peers.

The Ontario native has missed just one cut over the past two PGA Tour seasons, producing 24 top 25 finishes over the same span. That strong play has persisted at major championships, with Conners finishing inside the top 20 in three of his four 2025 starts.

He feels like the most realistic candidate to become Canada’s second male major champion, especially with four top 10s at the Masters since 2020.

The 33-year-old recently became Canada’s all-time career earnings leader on the PGA Tour, passing Weir after finishing in a tie for 10th at the 2025 Open Championship. He is also the top Canadian in the Official World Golf Rankings, sitting 24th at the time of writing.

Conners has represented his country as part of the International Team at the last two Presidents Cups and should be a fixture on that side for years to come.

2. Nick Taylor: Winnipeg, Manitoba

You could make a case for Taylor topping this list, especially since he boasts five PGA Tour wins to Conners’ two, but he is by far the more volatile player.

On his day, Taylor is capable of taking down anyone in any field. He has proved that with signature victories at the WM Phoenix Open, the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and, most importantly, the RBC Canadian Open.

However, he is also susceptible to missing cuts when his game isn’t where it needs to be, and his record at major championships is lacking. The 37-year-old has missed 11 cuts in 15 major starts since 2019 and has never finished better than a tie for 23rd. 

Still, Canadians will never forget Taylor’s 2023 triumph at Oakdale Golf & Country Club, where he dramatically holed a 72-foot putt to beat Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff, becoming the first Canadian to win his national open since 1954.

3. Taylor Pendrith: Richmond Hill, Ontario

I’m more likely to add Pendrith to my PGA Tour betting card over other Canadians on longer golf courses, as he ranked 10th on Tour in driving distance in 2024.

That skill set gives him a solid chance to compete at the most difficult major championship venues, as he did with a T-5 finish at the 2025 PGA Championship (his best performance in a major to date) and a T-16 at the 2024 U.S. Open.

It also makes him a strong contender for the Presidents Cup teams, an honour the 34-year-old has already earned twice in his young career. 

I expect him to build on his maiden PGA Tour victory at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson in the years to come.

4. Mackenzie Hughes: Hamilton, Ontario

Hughes’ success on the PGA Tour has been buoyed by a brilliant short game, often ranking as the top Canadian in chipping and putting stats.

He owns two career PGA Tour titles — the 2016 RSM Classic & 2022 Sanderson Farms Championship — winning both via playoff. Unfortunately, Hughes couldn’t keep that perfect playoff record going in 2025, losing to Ryan Fox on the first extra hole at the Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic.

The 34-year-old was a Presidents Cup pick in 2024 and could contend for a spot in 2026 if he contends a few more times over the next 12 months.

5. Adam Hadwin: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Hadwin was one of three Canadians to finish inside the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings in 2024, but he is now in danger of losing his PGA Tour card. 

The 37-year-old, who has maintained his status on the elite circuit since 2014, has just two top 25 finishes in 21 starts in 2025 and has missed eight cuts. He is also more than eight years removed from his lone PGA Tour win at the 2017 Valspar Championship.

Hadwin’s fall has seen him drop out of the top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings, though his main priority will be climbing back into the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings after entering July’s 3M Open in 134th position.
