Brooke Henderson is a Canadian professional golfer who competes on the LPGA Tour. She gained national recognition after being named the Canadian Press Female Athlete of the Year in 2015, 2017, and 2018—honors that reflected her rapid rise in the sport.
Brooke Mackenzie Henderson was born on September 10, 1997, in Smiths Falls, Ontario. She began playing golf at a young age at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club, heavily influenced by her family’s deep connection to the sport. Both of her parents are accomplished golfers, and her uncle, Tom Henderson, was a prominent amateur player in the Ottawa region. This strong golfing heritage played an essential role in shaping her early development in the game.
Henderson’s professional breakthrough came in 2016 when, at just 18 years old, she won her first major title at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. This victory made her the youngest winner of the event at that time and catapulted her to second place in the Women's World Golf Rankings. The win was widely celebrated and cemented her status as one of golf’s emerging talents.
As of now, Brooke Henderson holds multiple LPGA Tour victories, including two major championships—making her the most successful Canadian golfer in LPGA history. She surpassed Sandra Post's long-standing record of eight LPGA wins in 2022, further solidifying her legacy in Canadian sports. Her consistent performance and competitive spirit have made her not only a national icon but also a key figure in promoting women’s golf in Canada.
