“Starting Sunday in ninth place, I thought I was too far back, but I felt comfortable, strong and ready to go,” said Brooke Henderson. “My parents were on the course supporting me, along with my sister who was caddying for me, and I wanted to stay aggressive after coming so close last year. It was definitely a well-fought victory.”

“Brooke is a strong competitor, and her dedication is an inspiration to her fanbase in North America and around the world,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “She’s an incredible asset to our brand and we love that she’s finding success wearing Skechers GO GOLF in the 2022 season. We’re proud to be on her team as she illustrates how our golf footwear can help elevate anyone’s game—whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro.”

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 11 titles including the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open in April 2021, 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 #8 in the World Golf Rankings.
