Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson reflects on a successful year for Canadian golf, with three major tournaments held in the country. She highlights the Presidents Cup as a particularly impactful event.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette Golf continued to be on the upswing in Canada in 2024, and Brooke Henderson expects even more in the new year.
Calgary hosted the CPKC Women’s Open, Hamilton welcomed the RBC Canadian Open, and Montreal held the biennial Presidents Cup, an elite PGA Tour event where the 12 best American golfers face the 12 best players from around the world excluding Europe. Henderson said that seeing the best golfers in the world come to Canada for three different tournaments was her highlight of 2024. “All the energy and atmosphere that surrounds the Presidents Cup and holding it in Canada, I feel like will have a great impact on future generations and people picking up the game,” said Henderson. “The CPKC Women’s Open is obviously very important to me and I love that event and being able to be in Calgary this year and seeing all the people there out supporting us was really awesome. “I just hope the game continues to grow, but after everything that Canadians did this year on tour and just in golf in general, I think it’s in good hands.” The 27-year-old Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ont., has the most career wins of any Canadian golfer with 13 victories on the LPGA Tour. This past season was the first since 2020 that Henderson didn’t add a title to her already impressive resume. She did, however, have nine top 10 finishes on the LPGA Tour and teamed with Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., to finish fourth at the Grant Thornton Invitational, an elite event co-hosted by the top men’s and women’s tours. That put her at 13th in the LPGA Tour rankings by the end of the season and 25th on the world ranking
