Henderson tees off in this weekend’s LPGA Tournament of Champions in what she hopes is a the start to a busy, competitive season.
Henderson is back after a brief off-season. She was seventh at the CME Group Tour Championship, which ended five days before Christmas, then flew home to spend the holiday with her family. A dump of snow in Smiths Falls, plus the required quarantine at home, meant she didn’t get much training in over the break.
This week’s Tournament of Champions is a glitzy fun event featuring 25 pros and 50 celebrities, with a US$1.2-million purse over 72 holes and no cut. Henderson said she chatted with former Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson, who she plays with on Thursday, on the range.“It is really fun though seeing all the celebrities, it’s a different atmosphere than just a regular Tour event,” she said. “We’ll definitely miss the fans this year, because it’s always a huge part of this event.
