The accolades keep coming for Brooke Henderson.

On Thursday night the 21 year-old from Smiths Falls, Ontario was recognized at the 41st Canadian Sport Awards in Ottawa. The LPGA star, who has won twice this season, including the Lotte Championship and most recently, the CP Women’s Open, was honoured as the Female Athlete of The Year for Summer Sports Performance. She was among 18 athletes to earn an award at the gala event.

Henderson was in great company as an award-winner. Most categories were dominated by athletes from the 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as those who participated in the Commonwealth Games.

“We are proud of the exceptional individuals and organizations who were honoured at these 2018 Canadian Sport Awards”, said Dasha Peregoudova, President of AthletesCAN. “They are a true representation of Canadian excellence in sport and we congratulate them for their well deserved recognition as 2018 CSA winners. Honouring achievements such as these is important to AthletesCAN, and we look forward to continuing to celebrating those who make a difference and who so clearly demonstrate the impact that sport has on Canadian society.”

So far to date in 2018 Brooke Henderson has been a significant player on the LPGA Tour. Through 23 events she is in second place on the TOUR Money list after earning $1,364,956 in a campaign buoyed by 10 top-ten finishes and the two wins, most notably becoming the first Canadian LPGA player to win on home soil since 1973.
