Christmas came bearing gifts, but it left just as fast! However, it appears some presents were extra special as some people can’t seem to get over the same. Who is it, you ask? It’s none other than Brooke Henderson. The LPGA Tour pro had joined the likes of Nelly Korda, Charley Hull, and Tiger Woods, among others in an advertisement by TaylorMade, back in December.

The gift? Well, the professional was able to spend some time with her idol Woods during the shooting of the commercial. Besides, interestingly, she went ahead to reminisce about the same in an interview ahead of the upcoming LPGA tournament, all the while dubbing it as nothing short of “cool!”

In a press conference ahead of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions on Tuesday, the 26-year-old recounted how during the shoot, the athletes “were all there together.” Moreover, she excitedly recollected how she was able to sit beside the 15X major champ “at the breakfast” which she termed as “pretty cool.” Truly a fan-girl moment for the defending champion.

Continuing with the memory, the 13X LPGA Tour champ did not forget to mention the other professionals as well. “To be in the company of all those talented players,” said Henderson while continuing to convey how she felt “very inspired and motivated” during the same.

During Christmas, the golf company shared a post on its Instagram showcasing the golfers including Korda, and Hull, along with other pros on both the PGA Tour and the women’s circuit, dressed as elves. Meanwhile, Woods was dressed as his viral holiday avatar, the ‘Mac Daddy Santa’ while overseeing the whole production of gifts by the elves.

The advertisement by TaylorMade created an opportunity for Henderson to spend some time with the 48-year-old. However, she was far from the only person who was an ardent fan of the 82X PGA Tour champ among the people in the group. Enter Nelly Korda!
