Brooke Henderson is hoping that teeing it up at the first major of the year on the LPGA Tour will be just the spark she needs to turn around a slow start to her 2025 campaign.Henderson, who finished tied for third last year at the Chevron Championship, has uncharacteristically missed two cuts already this season. She does have two top-15 finishes but told Sportsnet that while the year has been steady is hasn’t yet been what she’s hoped.
The Canadian does, however, hold the course record at The Club at Carlton Woods and is eager to notch another solid result at the LPGA’s opening major in The Woodlands, Texas. “I feel like we’re pretty close,” Henderson told Sportsnet. “We’ve been working on a lot of things and just trying to get things trending in the right direction.
“This would be a great week to start that.”

Henderson shot a third-round 64 a year ago to catapult into the final group Sunday. She needed just an incredible 23 putts that day and the score could have been even lower – she bogeyed the par-4 16th and couldn’t add another birdie on the par-5 18th.
Henderson shot an even-par 72 in the final round and finished just three back of winner Nelly Korda. Henderson said she “gained a lot of confidence and momentum” with her result in 2024. Being in the mix at a major right until the end was something Henderson thrived on, after not being in that spot since winning her previous major title, the Evian Championship in 2022.
