“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.
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, Colin Montgomerie and Billy
Andrade. Known for its lightweight, high-quality, stable and
