Madeline Szeryk (born 21 July 1996) is a Canadian professional golfer on the LPGA Tour.

Early life and amateur career

Szeryk was born in Allen, Texas, to parents who relocated from London, Ontario shortly after being married, and holds dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship.[1] She got started with golf at the age of seven and was a long time member of Golf Canada's National Team Program.[2]

Szeryk's younger sister Ellie also became an elite amateur golfer, also representing Canada internationally.[3]

In 2013, she won the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Championship by 14 strokes over Brooke Henderson, and in 2017 she won the Women's Western Amateur. She represented Canada at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing and twice at the Espirito Santo Trophy.

Szeryk played collegiate golf with the Texas A&M Aggies women's golf team at Texas A&M University between 2014 and 2018. She was SEC Freshman of the Year in 2015 and a three-time All-American. She won four tournaments and made hole-in-ones in her first and last collegiate events, before playing in the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup.[4]

Professional career

Szeryk turned professional in the fall of 2018 and joined the Symetra Tour in 2019, where her best finish was runner-up at the 2019 Zimmer Biomet Championship, two strokes behind Nuria Iturrioz of Spain. She won the 2020 Kingwood Island Championship on the Women's All Pro Tour.[5]

In 2022, Szeryk joined the LPGA Tour after she finished T17 at LPGA Q-Series. By mid-2023, she climbed into the top-200 on the Women's World Golf Rankings for the first time after she tied for 7th at the LPGA Drive On Championship.[6]

Half a year ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Szeryk sat 50th in the qualification rankings, on course to represent Canada alongside Brooke Henderson, in competition with Maude-Aimée LeBlanc and Alena Sharp.[7]
