Early Life and Golf Journey
Taylor Pendrith grew up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, a suburb just north of Toronto, where sport was woven into his identity from a young age.
He excelled across multiple disciplines — winning MVP in high school baseball and being named Athlete of the Year in 2008 — before golf became his main calling.
He enrolled at Kent State University in Ohio in 2010, where he developed alongside two fellow Canadians who would also reach the PGA Tour: Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes.
Pendrith thrived in the Mid-American Conference (MAC), earning first-team All-MAC honors and being named Co-MAC Golfer of the Year in his senior season.
His amateur highlight came in 2014, when he made the cut at the Canadian Open as the low amateur — a moment that confirmed his professional potential.
He also represented Canada at the 2014 Eisenhower Trophy, where the team finished second behind the United States.
Pendrith graduated from Kent State with a degree in Sport Administration in 2014 and turned professional shortly after.
He began his career on the PGA Tour Canada in 2015, where he spent several years building his game before breaking through in 2019 with two victories — the 1932byBateman Open and the Mackenzie Investments Open.
Those wins placed him second on the Order of Merit and secured him a Korn Ferry Tour card.
Professional Golf Career
Pendrith’s Korn Ferry Tour debut in 2020 was interrupted by the pandemic-shortened season, but he still managed several strong results.
He earned his PGA Tour card at the conclusion of the 2020–21 Korn Ferry Tour season, ranking fifth on the regular-season points list.
His first full PGA Tour season in 2021–22 was eye-opening — he posted three top-10s, made 16 cuts in 21 starts, and banked more than $2.3 million in official prize money.
A fractured rib mid-season limited his schedule, yet he still ended that year ranked among the tour’s most promising newcomers.
His best result was a T2 at the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic, worth $635,600.
In September 2022, International Team captain Trevor Immelman selected Pendrith for the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club — making him one of only five Canadians ever to compete in the event, and part of the first Canadian two-man pairing alongside Corey Conners.
Though he went 0-4 that year, his selection was a clear signal of his standing in the global game. He earned redemption at the 2024 Presidents Cup, going 2-0 in foursomes alongside Adam Scott.
The defining moment of his career came in May 2024 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in McKinney, Texas.
Pendrith fired a final-round 23-under-par total to claim his first PGA Tour title in his 74th career start, earning a $1.71 million paycheck. His wife Megan and son Hayes Austin were on-site to witness the emotional win.
The victory, combined with FedEx Cup playoff results including a T13 at the BMW Championship ($344,111) and a T14 at the Tour Championship ($905,000), pushed his 2024 earnings to $4,579,104 — placing him 31st on the PGA Tour Money List.
At the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, Pendrith posted a T5 finish, his best-ever result at a Major, continuing to push his ranking higher.
His career-high world ranking of 35 came on July 13, 2025, according to the Official World Golf Ranking.
Caddie
Taylor Pendrith’s caddie is Mitchell Theoret, a fellow Canadian and childhood friend. The two have known each other since they were nine years old, growing up together in Ontario.
Theoret came to caddying from an unusual path — he was a professional ice hockey player who spent four seasons (2009–2013) with the Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League, appearing in 216 games.
The New York Islanders selected him in the seventh round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. After a season-ending injury while playing in Norway, Pendrith asked his old friend to caddie for him for a week — and the partnership stuck.
Theoret was at Pendrith’s side for the emotional first PGA Tour win at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, openly weeping as the final putt dropped, telling Golf Monthly about the depth of their two-decade bond.
Wife
Taylor Pendrith married Megan Beirnes in October 2021 in Cambridge, Ontario.
The couple met in 2016, introduced by Corey Conners and his wife Malory — Conners was Pendrith’s college teammate at Kent State, and Pendrith later served as best man at his wedding.
Megan is a registered nurse who specialized in the hematology and stem cell transplant unit at Hamilton General Hospital in Ontario, including frontline COVID-19 work during the pandemic.
The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Hayes Austin Pendrith, in October 2022. The Pendrith family now resides in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, during the PGA Tour season.

Endorsements
Pendrith carries a well-rounded endorsement portfolio that reflects his Canadian identity and growing PGA Tour profile.
His equipment deal is with Srixon, who celebrated his first Tour victory publicly on social media.
Srixon supplies his clubs and balls, and while the financial terms are not disclosed, equipment deals of this nature typically generate between $200,000–$500,000 annually for players at Pendrith’s level.
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is one of his most prominent backers. RBC is a major sponsor of Canadian golf and backs nearly every leading Canadian PGA Tour player, including Adam Hadwin, Corey Conners, and Mackenzie Hughes.
Their partnership gives Pendrith brand visibility in the Canadian market and association with one of the country’s largest financial institutions.
American Water Heaters has been associated with Pendrith since 2018, making it his longest-running commercial partnership. The deal predates his PGA Tour career entirely.
In his own words: “One of my longest-running partnerships over the course of my professional golf career has been American Water Heaters. Having them with me for my first PGA Tour win makes it extra special.”
Turf Prophit, a cloud-based platform designed for golfers and their teams, signed Pendrith before he joined the PGA Tour.
The Ontario-based company and the Richmond Hill native share Canadian roots.
Pendrith also served as a brand ambassador for the Mississauga Steelheads, a junior ice hockey club in Ontario, beginning in 2019 — a nod to his dual love of golf and hockey.
