Brooke Henderson is Back 

Brooke Henderson is making her return to competition this week in Korea for what will be her first start since missing the cut at the AIG Women’s Open in August.

The Canadian opened up during the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship about struggling to find the same sort of excitement and motivation

that she had in the early part of her career. Although Henderson has yet to win this season on the LPGA Tour, she has amassed seven top 10s already this year. She has made just two prior starts at the BMW Ladies Championship, where she tied for 22nd in 2023 and tied for 38th in 2019.

She has slipped to owgr #22, and is currently 15th on the Race to the CME Globe with 6 events remaining in the LPGA schedule. The final CME Group Tour Championship is in Naples, Florida beginning November 21st.

She has only had one year on tour when she did not win, and is still looking for her first this season.

Tournament History

For the second consecutive season, the Seowon Hills Course at Seowon Valley Country Club will play host to the BMW Ladies Championship. The course, which opened in 2004, will play to a par 72 for this week’s tournament at roughly 6,666 yards. The course is located about an hour's drive north of Seoul and is widely considered one of the top venues in Korea. This year marks the fifth playing of the tournament, which was first held in 2019 and won by Ha Na Jang. In 2021, Jin Young Ko won the second edition of the event, which was not contested in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ko is not in the field this week as she’s been dealing with injury.
