The Canadian golfer's rise follows consecutive top-three finishes at major championships.
Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson has ascended to No. 13 in the latest Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, according to Sportsnet. The 28-year-old jumped seven positions from her previous ranking of No. 20.
Henderson's climb follows a series of strong performances at major tournaments. In June, she finished in a tie for third at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Most recently, she secured a second-place finish at the Amundi Evian Championship, where she was defeated in a playoff by Haeran Ryu of Korea, Sportsnet reports.
These results mark Henderson's best performances since she tied for third at the 2024 Chevron Championship. The Smith Falls, Ont., native is currently rebounding from a difficult 2025 season, during which she reached a ranking low of No. 58 and saw her best major finish end at T31 at the Evian. Her sole victory in 2025 occurred in August when she won her second CPKC Women's Open.
While Henderson has not yet secured a tournament victory in 2026 and has not won a major since the 2022 Evian, her recent surge reflects a significant return to form.
