Corey Conners is one of the leading Canadians in the game of golf, with multiple PGA Tour victories to his name.
Born in Listowel, Ontario in January 1992, Conners grew up playing both golf and ice hockey, before taking the former more seriously. He went on to win the Ontario Amateur at the age of 18, before spending four years at Kent State University alongside a pair of Canadian friends, both of whom would go on to play on the PGA Tour as well.
Conners turned professional in 2015, but had to wait a couple of years before making it to the sport’s premiere golfing tour. There, he started slowly, but he gained his first win in 2019, with that coming at the Valero Texas Open. He would win the same tournament again four years later, doubling his win tally. He has four major top ten finishes, with three of those coming in consecutive years at the Masters Tournament – T10 in 2020, T8 in 2021 and a best major finish of T6 in 2022.
