“What a great feeling it was to sink that birdie putt to close a
wild final round for the win!” said Brooke Henderson. “I signed
with Skechers only a couple months after my first major
championship six years ago and I’ve had some huge wins along the
way since, so I’m excited to earn my second major alongside a brand
I trust that’s been on my team for most of my career.”
“This amazing season for Brooke (Henderson) continues as she
follows her ShopRite Classic win last month with an exciting major
championship victory at the Amundi Evian Championship in our
innovative GO GOLF shoes,” said Michael Greenberg, president of
Skechers. “Brooke’s a true inspiration and her passion for this
sport is clear in each of her wins. She brings her A-game to all
that she does, and we’re proud she’s finding such phenomenal
success on the course in our supportive and comfortable golf
footwear.”
Henderson has become a prominent face in women’s golf since
turning professional in December 2014. She won her first LPGA Tour
event in 2015 at the Cambia Portland Classic, a title she would
defend in 2016. She went on to become the second youngest player to
capture a major championship with her win at the 2016 KPMG Women’s
PGA Championship. Brooke also represented Canada at the Olympic
games in Brazil and again in Tokyo in 2021. In 2018, she won the
Lotte Championship, and she also became the first Canadian in 45
years to win the national championship at the CP Women’s Open. Now
with 12 titles including the ShopRite LPGA Classic in June 2022,
Henderson owns the record for most professional golf wins by a male
or female Canadian, and in 2019 won the ESPY for Best Female
Golfer. She is currently ranked #6 in the World Golf Rankings.
Henderson joined the Skechers elite golf team in 2016, wears
Skechers GO GOLF footwear and apparel on tour and has been featured
in ongoing marketing campaigns for the brand. She has competed in
recent tournaments wearing Skechers GO GOLF Elite 4
HYPER™ footwear. Additional pros wearing Skechers GO
GOLF on tour include Matt Fitzpatrick, who earned his own major
championship win at the U.S. Open last month, Colin Montgomerie and
Billy Andrade. Known for its lightweight, high-quality, stable and
comfortable designs, Skechers GO GOLF has achieved prominence
within the golf category alongside the brand’s award-winning
running, walking and training collections.
