Manhattan Beach's Skechers Signs LPGA Brooke Henderson as Spokesperson

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Manhattan Beach-based Skechers has signed rising LPGA star Brooke Henderson to a multi-year marketing deal to promote the company's Go Golf shoes.

Henderson is ranked No. 3 in the world and will be featured in several marketing campaigns for the brand's golf footwear.

“I can’t think of a better fit for me and I’m excited for the opportunity to represent the brand," Henderson said. "The exceptional product has really helped me with my game.”

Henderson is in Canada this week for the Manulife LPGA Classic. The 18-year-old won her first major tournament at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June. She represented Canada at the Rio Olympics.

“We really love Brooke’s game, and her input is going to be so valuable,” Skechers marketing executive Rick Higgins said. “She’s just getting started, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with her.”

Henderson will be wearing Skechers Performance Go Golf footwear as part of the sponsorship.

Skechers, the country's second-largest athletic footwear company, said its Go Golf line was designed to be worn on and off the course and aimed at casual as well as professional golfers.
