Brooke Henderson has switched caddies for 2026 due to her sister Brittany's pregnancy, with Brittany stepping back from the bag for most of the year and veteran caddie John Killeen taking over in Orlando and beyond. Several outlets confirm that Brittany will caddie for the season opener, then pause her duties while preparing for the baby, and that Killeen will handle the bag during most of the year.[1][2][3][4]
