Brooke Henderson, a prominent figure on the LPGA Tour, is navigating a new chapter following the departure of her sister, Brittany, as her caddie. This transition began in February when Brittany took a maternity leave, marking the end of a highly successful partnership.
Henderson Sisters: A Winning Duo
For over ten years, Brooke and Brittany formed a formidable team. Their journey began in junior golf in Eastern Ontario, culminating in 13 LPGA titles together. Brittany had stepped in as Brooke’s caddie in 2015 after the passing of former caddie Brian ‘Bunk’ Lee.
Adjusting to Change
While Brooke enjoyed her last event with Brittany at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she finished third, her performance since has been challenging. Currently ranked No. 26 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, Brooke has yet to secure a top-20 finish since her sister’s departure.
New Support System
Brooke has begun working with her cousin, who started caddying for her two weeks ago. She expressed gratitude for her cousin’s support, acknowledging the adjustment from the familiar partnership she had with Brittany. “It’s a lot different. It’s really been a big adjustment all year,” she noted, emphasizing her ongoing communication with Brittany for guidance.
Performance Post-Sister’s Departure
Since Brittany has stepped back, Brooke has faced obstacles on the course. Her best result came at the Aramco Championship, where she finished tied for 23rd. Unfortunately, she missed the cut at both the Mizuho Americas Open and the JM Eagle LA Championship, with rounds of 74 and 75.
Looking Ahead
Brooke is focused on regaining her competitive edge and hopes to build a strong rapport with her cousin, similar to what she shared with Brittany. As she prepares for upcoming events, the question remains: can Brooke find her winning form again without her sister by her side?
