World No. 13 golfer Brooke Henderson announced her engagement to Minnesota Twins prospect Ricky Castro over social media.

The pair's post on Instagram Sunday came one week after Henderson nearly won the Evian Championship, losing in a playoff to Haeran Ryu of South Korea. Henderson officially became engaged two days later.

"Engaged! 7/14/26. The beginning of forever," the post began. "We are beyond excited and blessed to announce our engagement with one another! God is so good for giving us each other!"

The couple started dating in March 2025 after meeting in Naples, Fla., where Henderson has a home.

Henderson, 28, has two major titles (2016 Women's PGA Championship, 2022 Evian Championship) among her 14 wins on the LPGA Tour. The Canadian's most recent victory came on home soil at the CPKC Women's Open in August 2025 in Mississauga, Ontario.

Castro, 26, is a right-hander currently pitching for Triple-A St. Paul, where he is 2-1 with a 4.13 ERA in 10 appearances (four starts) with the Saints.
