Weeks After Failing to Retain Her Major Title, Is Brooke Henderson Playing at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open?

Brooke Henderson is one of the greatest golfers on the LPGA Tour, who has many accolades to her name. The 25-year-old Canadian golfer became the youngest player to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the age of just 18 years in 2016. Although the golfer has had a lot of hiccups along the way, she is still sailing through strongly.

Henderson has won 2 majors in her career so far, and she was really close to winning her third one in France a few days back. But sadly, she could not defend her Amundi Evian Championship title. With her stellar current form, is she competing in the upcoming and final major of the season, the 2023 AIG Women’s Open? 

Is Brooke Henderson playing at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open?

For the past few weeks, Henderson has been on a roll. Although she was not able to defend her Evian title successfully, she finished in the second position. Rather than being disappointed with her result, Henderson was just elated for her fellow golfer Celine Boutier who won and created history in France. Just after France, Henderson moved to Scotland to compete in the Freed Group Women’s Scottish Open. She displayed quite a stunning show there as well and finished in the 15th position on the leaderboard. 

After her Amundi Evian Championship win in 2022, she entered the field of the AIG Women’s Open with a lot of hope and thrill to score her third career major. But the golfer did not win the event in Muirfield that year. Though she did not emerge victorious, she ended up in the top 10, at the seventh position. Being one of the top 10 finishers the previous year, fans will get to witness Brooke Henderson spread her magic in the 2023 AIG Women’s Open. 

The Canadian golfer is in the 8th position in the Race to CME Globe Season, and according to the listed exemptions on GolfMonthly, the top 120 players in the list are eligible for a place in the major. Along with this criterion, Henderson is also the number 8 golfer on the Rolex Rankings, and the top 50 golfers in the world are eligible to play.
