“I’m just so happy. To be able to play this well on this golf
course really gives me a lot of confidence going forward.” said
Henderson. “The conditions were really tough and I could not have
done this without my whole team behind me, especially my Skechers
Performance GO GOLF shoes, which gave me the stability I needed to
stay focused and perform.”
Henderson, a native of Canada, has quickly become a prominent
face of women’s golf since turning professional in December 2014.
She won her first LGPA Tour event in 2015 at the Cambria Portland
Classic, a title she would defend with her second career win in
2016. She then went on to become the second youngest player to
capture a major championship with her win at the 2016 KPMG Women’s
PGA Championship. In 2016, Brooke also represented Canada at the
2016 Olympic games in Brazil, where she tied for seventh place.
“We’re fortunate to have Brooke on the Skechers Performance team
and celebrate this win with her and all of her fans,” said Michael
Greenberg, Skechers President, “Brooke’s relentless dedication to
perfecting her game is an inspiration to us all and we’re proud to
have been part of this amazing achievement so early in her exciting
career.”
Henderson joined the Skechers Performance team in 2016. She is
outfitted in Skechers GO GOLF footwear and apparel on tour and has
been featured in ongoing marketing campaigns for the brand.
