LPGA star Brooke Henderson and minor league baseball player Ricky Castro have announced their engagement on Instagram.
“God is so good for giving us each other!” Castro wrote on Instagram.
The announcement, shared to Castro’s Instagram account Sunday, came two days after Henderson finished second at the Amundi Evian Championship in France.
It was her second top-three finish in a major in the past three weeks, and where she recorded an LPGA major championship-record six eagles.
She also tied for third place at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the end of June.
Henderson, who hails from Ontario, is the winningest player in Canadian golf history.
She turned pro in 2014 and has since won the 2016 LPGA Championship and 2022 Evian Championship.
Henderson boasts 20 professional wins, with 14 of them coming on the LPGA Tour.
Castro is a pitcher for the St. Paul Saints, the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins.
He signed with the Twins in 2024 after spending his collegiate career with Purdue and Tulane.
This season, he boasts a 2-1 record and 4.13 ERA for St. Paul.
The couple have been together since March 2025 after meeting in Naples, where Henderson has a home.
“He’s traveling a lot, I’m traveling a lot, so he really understands the lifestyle and all that it takes to perform at your best. So he’s very understanding that way, which I think is really key in a relationship out here,” Henderson told “Golfweek” of her relationship with Castro last August.
Henderson will compete at the AIG Women’s British Open, the final major of the year on the LPGA calendar, starting late next week.
