Werenski was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, but grew up in South Hadley and played golf at The Orchards Golf Club. He played college golf at Georgia Tech.[2] He won the 2012 Porter Cup.

Werenski turned professional after graduating from Georgia Tech in 2014. He won his first two professional events, the Cutter Creek Classic on the NGA Pro Golf Tour and the Vermont Open and added another NGA Pro Golf Tour win in July 2014.[1][3]

Werenski won the Golf Channel's reality show Big Break The Palm Beaches, FL in early 2015.[4] As the winner of The Big Break, he earned entry into the Barbasol Championship. He made the cut, finishing T72 in his first PGA Tour event.

Werenski earned his 2015 Web.com Tour card through qualifying school. He picked up his first Web.com Tour win at the 2016 BMW Charity Pro-Am.[5] He finished the 2016 regular season second on the money list, which automatically earned him his PGA Tour card for 2017 as a Web.com graduate.[6]

On the PGA Tour in 2017, Werenski had a solid rookie year with three top-10s, including a playoff loss at the Barracuda Championship. He made the 2017 FedEx Cup Playoffs and finished the season 106th in points to retain his card for 2018.[7] In 2018, he had another solid season, carding two top-10s, including another T-2 finish (this time at the Barbasol Championship), and made the playoffs again. He finished 110th in points and retain his card for 2019.[8]
