Brooke Henderson is currently one of the main stars of women’s golf in the world. Logically, her team has played a very important role in her results, but her caddie, with whom Brooke has a very special relationship, stands out among all of them.
Brooke Henderson’s caddie is none other than her older sister, Brittany, who has been looking after Brooke’s bag since the very beginning of her career. As often happens, Brittany had her history as a player, both amateur and professional.
Brittany Henderson’s time in junior golf was more than outstanding. Among her major accomplishments was winning the Canadian junior national championship thrice.This led her to play collegiate golf in the United States, with a scholarship from Coastal Carolina University, a member of the Big South Conference of the prestigious NCAA Division 1.Among her excellent results in collegiate golf, she has won the Big South Conference individual title for two consecutive seasons (2012 and 2013).
Brittany graduated from college in 2013 and immediately turned professional, starting her career on the Symetra Tour (now Epson Tour). It was around this time that she began to take more notice of her precocious sister Brooke, than her career as a pro golfer.
