Amateur career

[edit | edit source]

Conners was raised in Listowel, Ontario.[2] He won the 2010 Ontario Amateur.[3] Conners played for Kent State University golf team between 2010 and 2014, where he was teammates with fellow Canadian PGA Tour pro golfers Mackenzie Hughes and Taylor Pendrith.[4] He was runner-up to Gunn Yang at the 2014 U.S. Amateur at Atlanta Athletic Club, which earned him a spot in the field for the 2015 Masters Tournament. Though Conners missed the cut at the Masters, he was still the best scoring amateur at +5.

Professional career

[edit | edit source]

Following the 2015 Masters Conners turned professional, and played in the RBC Canadian Open in 2016.[5] In December 2016, Conners tied for 42nd at the Web.com Tour qualifying tournament.[6] By making the top 45, he earned a place on the Web.com Tour in 2017.

In March 2018, Conners held the 54-hole lead at the Valspar Championship in Florida, one stroke ahead of Justin Rose, Brandt Snedeker and Tiger Woods. In the fourth round, Conners shot 77 and finished T16.[7] Conners ended the season 130th in the FedEx Cup, five spots out of full status for the 2019 season.

In October 2018, Conners finished second to Cameron Champ in the PGA Tour's Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi,[8] winning $475,200.[9]

On April 7, 2019, Conners won the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open by two strokes over Charley Hoffman, earning the final place in the 2019 Masters Tournament.[10] Due to his conditional status, Conners had to play in a Monday qualifying event, where he earned the final spot after a six-man playoff. He became the first Monday qualifier to win on the PGA Tour since Arjun Atwal at the 2010 Wyndham Championship.[11] The first place prize was $1,350,000. Conners finished the 2019 regular season in 31st place. He finished 21st at The Northern Trust and 7th at the BMW Championship, which earned him a spot at the Tour Championship.

Conners continued his strong play into the 2019–20 PGA season with 10 top-25 finishes, and one top-10 finish at the Zozo Championship.[12] He finished the season with a FedEx Cup ranking of 53rd.[13] Through the first 20 events of the 2021 season Conners had finished top-10 on seven occasions, and top-25 13 times: Most notably a 7th-place finish at the Players Championship and 8th place at the Masters. Conners was the leader after the first round of the 2021 PGA Championship with a first round score of 67 (five under par). However, Conners fell out of contention in the second round shooting a 3-over-par 75. He finished tied for 17th.[14]

Conners qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Conners qualified for the International team at the 2022 Presidents Cup; he lost all four of the matches he played.[15]

In April 2023, he won the Valero Texas Open for the second time and his second PGA Tour victory.[16]
