Henderson Global Investors today announced the three players who will take up the title of the 2010 Ladies European Tour Henderson Rookies.
Kristie Smith (Australia), Julie Maisongrosse (France) and Hannah Jun (USA) will be collectively referred to as the ‘2010 Henderson Rookies’ and each will wear Henderson branded clothing and/or carry a Henderson-branded golf bag when they compete throughout the 2010 season in more than twenty countries.
Henderson Global Investors has sponsored the official LET Money List, known as the Henderson Money List, the 2010 Rookies, known as The 2010 Henderson Rookies and the LET Headquarters at the Buckinghamshire Golf Club, renamed Henderson House, since they acquired the former LET sponsor New Star Asset Management in 2009.

From this the Henderson Rookies receive €12,000 each to help them in their first year as professional golfers while the remaining €20,000 is awarded to the winner of the Henderson Money List.
Commenting on the 2010 Henderson Rookies, Richard Wilson, Marketing Director at Henderson Global Investors said “Henderson’s sponsorship of the Rookies has gone from strength to strength since we became involved three years ago.
