Taylor Pendrith is one of the leading Canadian golfers in the men’s game, securing his maiden PGA Tour victory in 2024.
Born in Richmond Hill, Ontario in March 1991, it would be another 12 years before Pendrith first took up the sport of golf. He went on to study at Kent State University alongside fellow PGA Tour professionals Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes, and they have become three of the best Canadians in the game right now.
He turned professional in 2014, but Pendrith would have to wait five years before he claimed his first piece of silverware. That came on the PGA Tour of Canada, where he won twice in 2019. Another five years would pass before he secured a maiden PGA Tour title – with that coming at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May 2024.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
