Sky Sports British Masters

Amateur career

Pepperell had a prominent amateur career, including finishing runner-up in the Boys Amateur Championship in 2009.[2]

Professional career

Pepperell turned professional in 2011 but failed to earn a place on either the

Allianz Open Côtes d'Armor Bretagne in May, the fourth event on the Challenge Tour schedule. He went on to win the event in a sudden-death playoff over Jeppe Huldahl
and as a result secured his membership on the Challenge Tour.

In 2013, Pepperell placed tied 6th at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and the next day won through the qualifier for the U.S. Open at Walton Heath to win a place in his first major.[3]

Pepperell lost in a three-man sudden-death playoff at the

KLM Open
, lifting him to a career-high world ranking of 80.

From the summer of 2015 to early 2017, Pepperell's best performances on the European Tour were 8th places and he dropped out of the world top-500. However, he qualified for the 2017 U.S. Open through the European sectional qualifying at Walton Heath and had his best performance in a major championship, finishing tied for 16th.

In February 2018, Pepperell broke through and won his maiden European Tour event at the

Sky Sports British Masters at Walton Heath Golf Club.[6] With the victory, Pepperell moved to a career best 33rd in the Official World Golf Ranking
.

Pepperell finished runner-up at the Hero Open in July 2022, one shot behind Sean Crocker. It was his first top-5 finish since 2019.[7]

Personal life

Pepperell has been in a relationship with Jennifer Rhodes since he was 16.[8]

During 2020, Pepperell did a podcast alongside Andrew Cotter called "The Pepper Pod" discussing golf matters and various other affairs.[9] In 2023, they both began a new podcast alongside BBC broadcaster, Iain Carter.[10]
