Brooke Henderson Navigates Change After Parting Ways With Sister-Caddie, Says 'It’s Been Weird'

That’s not an exaggeration. Brittany was there for almost all of it. The only win she missed was the first one, the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic, because both sisters were playing in the event.

“It’s been a big change, but I still talk to her all the time,” Henderson said. “Just adjusting to the new life out on tour, dealing with what most players have dealt with their entire career, that’s kind of interesting to learn more about.”

Henderson won this event in 2021, back when it was called the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open and played on a different course.

John Killeen Isn’t a Stranger to Big Moments on the LPGA

Killeen has been around for decades on the LPGA circuit, carrying bags for Cristie Kerr, Juli Inkster, Meg Mallon, and Lizette Salas. His wife, Denise, also played on the tour, something Henderson noticed immediately.

“He’s such an amazing guy, and he has so many connections out here on tour, so that’s been really fun,” she said.

The season started slowly, but a top-25 finish at the Aramco Championship at Shadow Creek got things moving again.

“I feel like the game is right there,” Henderson said. “I’m looking forward to having some good weeks coming up.”

Brittany is still calling, and the sisters still work on course management together when Brooke is home in Naples.
