December is the season for holidays and festivities for most. But for some, it is the season for making some forever connections. Just like LPGA star Esther Henseleit. Henseleit recently announced her marriage with Reece Phillips. Interestingly, their love story started right from what Henseleit loves the most- golf. Notably, Phillips is her swing coach who helped her improve her game and become a two-time Ladies European Tour champion

Taking to her official Instagram account, the LPGA star, who also won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, uploaded pictures from her special day. The two newlywed couples looked stunning in white. “13.12.25 🤍,” she captioned the post.

For the venue, the couple booked a stunning outdoor setting at Italy’s Dolomites mountain range. As the two posed, the breathtaking backgrounds elevated the aesthetic aspect of the photographs significantly.

Henseleit and Phillips’ relationship dates back to 2021. This was the time that Phillips started to coach the LPGA star. And that was not the only responsibility he had. Henseleit’s now husband has also been spotted caddying for her on multiple occasions. 

Now looking at her career, Henseleit is currently ranked 33rd on the Rolex Rankings. 

The LPGA star joined the LET back in 2019 and instantly proved why she was one for the future. In her debut year, Henseleit was adjudged as the Rookie of the Year and also clinched the Order of the Merit award. This was a rare occurrence as only Carlota Ciganda and Laura Davies had achieved the feat previously.

Now, as the news of her marriage comes to the forefront, fans and many other LPGA pros, including Lydia Ko, Charley Hull, and Rose Zhang, liked the post and extended their best wishes.
