When you think of Canadian men’s golf, Mike Weir stands alone as the only man to win a major.
But in 2026, the question looms: who’s next? And for the first time in years, the answer feels closer than ever.
Corey Conners is Canada’s top contender, proving he can handle the pressure of major championship golf.
Alongside him, players like Nick Taylor, Taylor Pendrith, Mackenzie Hughes, and Adam Svensson are raising Canada’s profile on the PGA Tour, showing depth we haven’t seen in decades.
Golf can turn on a single shot, and Canadians have waited a long time for this breakthrough. When it happens, it won’t just be a personal victory — it’ll be a milestone for the sport in Canada, inspiring a new generation.
My pick? Corey Conners, steady and precise, looks ready to make history. But with so much talent emerging, Canada’s next major champion could come from anywhere.
One swing, one putt, one moment — and the Maple Leaf will rise over the 18th green.
