“From the moment I tried the shoes and tested them on the
course, I immediately loved the Skechers GO GOLF line,” said
Henderson, who is teeing it up this week at the Manulife LPGA
Classic. “I can’t think of a better fit for me and I’m excited for
the opportunity to represent the brand. The exceptional product has
really helped me with my game.”
At 18 years old, Henderson returned home to her native Canada
after a solid performance in Rio. One month prior to Rio, Henderson
had her first Major win at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on
June 16, 2016. As an amateur in 2014, Henderson’s 10th place tie
for the 2014 Women’s US Open quickly positioned her as the top
ranking woman amateur golfer in the world at the age of 16. Since
her professional debut in December of that same year, Henderson has
continued to climb with a current rank of number three in the
world.
“We really love Brooke’s game, and her input is going to be so
valuable,” said Skechers Performance Senior Vice President
Merchandising/Marketing, Rick Higgins. “She’s just getting started,
and we’re thrilled to be partnering with her.”
Henderson will be wearing Skechers Performance GO GOLF footwear
as part of the sponsorship. Known for its innovative designs and
award winning comfort, GO GOLF offers everyone from leisurely
players to professional golfers a comfortable innovative shoe that
can be worn on and off the course.
As Skechers Performance enters it’s fourth year with the GO GOLF
line, Brooke Henderson is in excellent company, joining world-class
golfers Matt Kuchar, Russell Knox, Colin Montgomerie, Billy
Andrade, Belen Mozo, and Ashlan Ramsey who are Skechers GO GOLF
ambassadors.
Skechers GO GOLF is available at Skechers retail stores, select
retail partners including golf pro shops, and online at
