Canadian golf retailer Golf Town has renewed its partnership with Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson and her sister Brittany through 2028, continuing more than 10 years of collaboration between Canada's top golf retailer and its most accomplished player. The Golf Town Brooke Henderson renewal includes ongoing growth of the 'Brooke Brigade,' a nine-year junior girls program that has introduced hundreds of young players to the sport across Canada.
The expanded partnership enhances community events such as International Women's Day clinics, Ladies Night in-store activations and the Players Tour Truck experience for LPGA professionals. Partnerships with organizations such as Black Women Golfers Canada and the Tamil Golfers Association Canada are also part of the broader marketing strategy.
The Golf Town partnership shows how lasting athlete collaborations, rooted in grassroots programs, can create authentic community influence beyond conventional sponsorships.
