A whirlwind season for Canada’s Brooke Henderson has come to a close – a season that saw her play more times than anyone else on the LPGA Tour, but also featured two wins, including a major – and one question that remained unanswered until Sunday was whether or not sister Brittany would be back on the bag next year.
The dynamic duo will remain player-caddy in 2017, Henderson confirmed to LPGA.com, after she closed the CME Group Tour Championship with a 3-under-par 69 to finish tied for 24th.
“Next season, definitely, after that, we’ll have to see. I’ll have to try to convince her again,” explained Henderson. “She’s really enjoying it and I love having her here. We make a great team.”
Henderson notched 15 top-10s this year, and ended up third on the Race to the CME Globe. She said she had an ‘incredible’ journey in her first full season as an LPGA Tour member.
“I’m glad to be a part of the LPGA Tour and play” every single week, and I pretty much did that,” she said with a big smile. “Being my first year on tour it was important to see all the different courses and experience the atmosphere in different cities. Next year, it’ll be a little easier. That was really important to me, to get a feel for things out on Tour.”
Despite her robust success in 2016, she’s already looking forward to what next year will bring.
“In this off-season I have a lot of things I want to work on and get better at, and in the next couple weeks I”ll be setting my new goals,” she stated. “Being able to represent Canada at the Olympics, (and have) two wins, it was a really cool year.”
