Quick Answer: Brooke Henderson, Canada’s winningest pro golfer, finished runner-up at the 2026 Evian Championship on July 12, earning $835,391. She’s off this week before the Scottish Open on July 23. Her cousin now caddies for her while sister Brittany is on maternity leave, and she’s dated Twins prospect Ricky Castro since August 2025.
I’ve followed Brooke Henderson’s career since she Monday-qualified onto the LPGA Tour as a 17-year-old and won by eight shots. Eleven years later, she’s still finding new ways to make headlines.
A new caddie. A public relationship for the first time. And a playoff loss at a major that was, by any honest measure, one of the best weeks of her season.
This piece pulls together everything worth knowing about Henderson right now — her current schedule, the caddie change nobody outside golf media has covered properly, what’s actually true (and not true) about her relationship status, and a net worth number that won’t insult your intelligence.
Key facts at a glance:
Where Is Brooke Henderson Right Now?
Henderson just wrapped her most eventful major of the year. At the 2026 Amundi Evian Championship (July 9–12) in France, she came out for the final round four shots behind leader Haeran Ryu. Then she made a hole-in-one on the par-3 8th, added an eagle two holes later, and turned a four-shot deficit into a one-shot swing.
Ryu birdied the 72nd hole to force a playoff and won it on the first extra hole. Henderson’s runner-up finish still paid $835,391 — her best single-week check of the season.
So, did Brooke Henderson make the cut today? She’s made every cut on tour this summer. Her last three results — a tie for third at the Women’s PGA Championship, a tie for 22nd at the U.S. Women’s Open, and the Evian runner-up — mark her best stretch since 2023.
As for where Henderson is playing this weekend: nowhere. The LPGA schedule has a gap between Evian and the next event, so she’s off until the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald Links on July 23–26. After that comes the season’s final major, the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, July 30–August 2.

Brooke Henderson’s New Caddie (And Why Her Sister Stepped Away)
This is the story competitor pages miss entirely, probably because it’s moved fast even by golf-news standards. For a decade, Henderson’s caddie was her older sister, Brittany — a former college and mini-tour player who looped for 13 of Brooke’s 14 LPGA wins. That partnership paused before this season even started. Brittany is expecting her first child with husband Zach Sepanik, and she stepped away from the bag to get ready for the birth.
Veteran caddie John Killeen — who’d previously worked with Cristie Kerr and Juli Inkster — covered most of the spring. By late May, Henderson had switched again, this time to her cousin, Ryan Henderson, who’d caddied casually for both sisters over the years and spent most of his career in home renovations before taking the bag full time.
Swapping a ten-year caddie for a cousin who used to build decks sounds like exactly the kind of change that wrecks a season. It didn’t. Henderson has put together three of her best results of the year — T3, T22, runner-up — since Ryan took over, and she’s credited the smooth handoff to the fact that he already knows her game from years of watching her play.
Then, on the morning of her first round at the Women’s PGA Championship, Henderson got the news that Brittany had given birth to a daughter. The family named the baby Sahalee — after Sahalee Country Club, where Brooke won her first major a decade earlier.
“I’m so excited. My niece was born this morning before I teed off,” Henderson said at her press conference that day. She opened that week with a 3-under 69.
Is Brooke Henderson Married? Her Relationship With Ricky Castro
No, Brooke Henderson isn’t married, and she isn’t engaged. She kept her personal life almost entirely private until August 2025, when she confirmed a relationship with Ricky Castro, a right-handed pitching prospect in the Minnesota Twins organization who currently plays for the Double-A Wichita Wind Surge.
Castro, who grew up in Naperville, Illinois, and played college baseball at Purdue and Tulane, posted photos with Henderson in July 2025. Henderson made the relationship Instagram-official the following month. Nearly a year on, they’re still together. Henderson has said the travel grind of pro sports is easier with a partner who lives the same lifestyle — he’s chasing a major-league roster spot in the minors while she’s chasing majors on the LPGA Tour.
If you’ve come across older articles naming a hockey player or a fellow golfer as Henderson’s partner, you can ignore them. Those were unconfirmed rumors from years before Castro ever entered the picture, and nobody involved ever confirmed a relationship. Castro is the only partner Henderson has confirmed herself, on her own account.
Brooke Henderson’s Net Worth in 2026
Search “Brooke Henderson net worth” and you’ll get answers anywhere from $4 million to $20 million, depending on which site you land on. Here’s the honest version: nobody outside her camp actually knows her net worth, and any site handing you one precise figure is guessing.
What’s verifiable is this. Henderson has earned more than $14.6 million in official LPGA prize money over her career, including $835,391 from this year’s Evian runner-up finish alone. She’s also carried a genuinely deep endorsement portfolio for years — a full TaylorMade equipment deal since 2023, Royal Bank of Canada, T-Mobile, Skechers, Mastercard, Rolex, BMW, BioSteel, and a partnership with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators. Forbes has previously ranked her among its highest-paid female athletes.
For a look at how another tour pro’s finances and personal life stack up, our Lucas Glover profile breaks down the same kind of numbers.
Stack tour earnings and endorsement income together and an eight-figure net worth is a reasonable estimate. Anyone quoting you an exact dollar figure beyond that is making it up, and we’d rather tell you that than pretend we have a number we don’t.
What’s in Brooke Henderson’s Bag (2026 WITB)
Henderson has played a full TaylorMade bag since 2023, and her current setup leans toward tour-level shapes built for a player who doesn’t need extra forgiveness off the tee.
| Club | Model |
|---|---|
| Driver | TaylorMade Qi4D |
| Fairway wood | TaylorMade Qi4D |
| Rescue/hybrid | TaylorMade Qi4D Rescue |
| Irons | TaylorMade P·7CB |
| Wedge | TaylorMade MG5 |
| Putter | TaylorMade Spider Tour X |
| Ball | TaylorMade TP5x |
The P·7CB irons are TaylorMade’s tour cavity-back — smaller and less forgiving than a game-improvement iron. TaylorMade builds them for players who prioritize shot-shaping over a bailout on mishits. Curious how those specs compare to what you’re carrying? Our golf club distance chart by skill level breaks down realistic carry numbers by handicap, so you can see exactly where a tour player’s bag differs from a 15-handicapper’s.
Brooke Henderson’s LPGA Career, By the Numbers
| Category | Total |
|---|---|
| LPGA Tour wins | 14 |
| Major championships | 2 — 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA, 2022 Evian |

Henderson is Canada’s winningest professional golfer on any major tour, male or female — a record she’s held since passing Mike Weir and George Knudson years ago. Her two Canadian national championship wins, in 2018 and again in 2025, bookend a career that’s been remarkably consistent for a decade running. A slower start to 2026 made some fans wonder if the drop-off was permanent. This summer’s stretch says otherwise.
