Brendon Todd (born July 22, 1985) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour and the Web.com Tour.
Todd played his junior golf at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, North Carolina and Green Hope High School. He won the North Carolina High School 4A classification individual championship in his freshman, junior, and senior seasons at Green Hope, including winning the title as a freshman in 2000, the first year of the school's existence.
Todd attended the University of Georgia, where he was part of the 2005 team that won the National Championship. He was a four-time All-American at the university.
Todd joined the Nationwide Tour in 2008. That year he won the Utah Championship, and finished 19th on the money list, earning him a spot on the PGA Tour in 2009.
At the 2009 Athens Regional Foundation Classic on the Nationwide Tour, Todd became the first player on the Tour to ace the same hole twice in the same tournament. On April 16, during the first round, his ace on the 157 yard, par-3, 17th hole, came with a 7-iron. The next day, the ace came with an 8-iron from 147 yards. In his rookie season on the PGA Tour in 2009, he made only 5 of 21 cuts, and did not earn a tour card for 2010.
Todd rejoined the Nationwide Tour in 2010. In 2011, he had a steady season on that tour, and was medalist at the season-ending qualifying school to return to the PGA Tour. In 2012, he was the final person to retain any status on the PGA Tour. His finish of 150th on the PGA Tour's money list meant that he maintained conditional status and avoided the second round of Q School. As a member of the 126-150 category on the PGA Tour, Todd also had full Web.com Tour status.
In 2013, Todd won his second Web.com Tour event, the 2013 Stadion Classic at UGA. He finished 20th on the 2013 Web.com Tour regular season money list, earning him a 2014 PGA Tour card.
