Brooke Henderson, Brittany Sepanik Set to Shine at Season Opener Event

Brooke Henderson and her sister, Brittany Sepanik, are set to take the spotlight at the 2025 Hilton Grand Vacation Tournament of Champions. This prestigious season opener will mark a significant moment, as Sepanik prepares to begin maternity leave after this event.

Henderson and Sepanik: A Winning Partnership

Brooke Henderson, hailing from Smiths Falls, Ontario, has had her sister Brittany caddie for her for most of her professional golf career. Together, they have celebrated numerous successes, including Henderson’s victory at the LPGA’s season opener in 2023. This year’s tournament represents a bittersweet farewell for the sisters, who have shared a unique bond on and off the course.

“This is special,” Henderson expressed in a recent interview. “We are really going to soak it in during this week.” With excitement brewing in their family, they aim to create lasting memories before Sepanik steps back from her role.

Canada’s Lone Representative

• Brooke Henderson is the only Canadian golfer competing at this year’s event.
• She was the sole Canadian winner on the LPGA Tour last season, clinching the CPKC Women’s Open in August.

Henderson’s relationship with her sister is unique. Over a decade, they have developed an understanding that makes their teamwork seamless. “It’ll be really different without her,” Henderson acknowledged but is supportive of Sepanik’s new chapter ahead.

New Beginnings and Challenges Ahead

Veteran caddie John Killeen will replace Sepanik during the upcoming Asian leg of the LPGA Tour. Killeen brings extensive experience to the role, having caddied for numerous accomplished golfers through his career.

In addition to the LPGA Tour, Henderson will also participate in the newly formed Women’s TMRW Golf League. She was one of the first five players selected for this innovative league that focuses on indoor simulator golf.

Supporting Women’s Golf

Henderson has expressed enthusiasm about joining the Women’s TMRW Golf League, noting its potential to highlight the talents and personalities of women golfers. “I’m so grateful to have been asked to join,” she stated, emphasizing the importance of growing the game.

Upcoming Events in Canadian Golf

In addition to the excitement surrounding Henderson, Canadian golfers across different tours are also making headlines:

• Katie Cranston from Oakville, Ontario, recently won the individual title at the UCF Challenge, leading her Auburn Tigers to victory.
• On the PGA Tour, Taylor Pendrith leads a strong Canadian presence at the Farmers Insurance Open.
• Roger Sloan is making waves on the Korn Ferry Tour, ranking third on the points list heading into The Panama Championship.

The 2025 Hilton Grand Vacation Tournament of Champions promises to be an exciting event, showcasing not only Henderson’s talent but also marking the beginning of a new chapter for both sisters. As they prepare to take the course together one last time for the foreseeable future, golf fans can anticipate a memorable performance from this dynamic duo.
