Pepperell was born in Oxfordshire. He had a prominent amateur career, including finishing runner-up in the Boys Amateur Championship in 2009. He turned professional in 2011 but failed to earn a place on either the European or Challenge Tours, and he began 2012 playing on the mini-tours. However he received an invitation to 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 very next day won through the qualifier for the U.S. Open at Walton Heath to win a place in his first major.

Pepperell lost in a three-man sudden-death playoff at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in May 2015. On a very difficult final day in windy conditions, Pepperell shot a two-under 69, while all the other leaders were shooting over-par rounds, to come from seven strokes behind and join the playoff. Søren Kjeldsen won with a birdie on the first extra hole, after Pepperell and Bernd Wiesberger could not get up and down for birdie from the greenside areas. This was Pepperell's best-ever showing on the European Tour to date and qualified him for the 2015 Open Championship, as the Irish Open was one of the Open Qualifying Series. He also entered the world top-100, getting him an invitation to play in the 2015 PGA Championship. In the summer of 2015 Pepperell finished tied for fourth in the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open and tied for third in 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.
