He won the 2012 Chiquita Classic after defeating Morgan Hoffmann and Patrick Cantlay in a playoff.
At the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open in October 2012, he claimed his second victory of the year. He holed a birdie putt of 25 feet (7.6 meters) on the 72nd hole to force a playoff with B.J. Staten. The first hole of the playoff, which he aced, gave him the victory. He transitioned to the PGA Tour in 2012 after being third on the money list on the Web.com Tour.
An unprecedented performance by Henley at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January 2013 made him the first PGA Tour rookie to win his debut in 12 years. He finished with a score of 256 (-24), surpassing the Sony Open scoring record by four strokes.
It was two strokes behind Tommy Armour III's performance in the Valero Texas Open in 2003 for the second-lowest score for a 72-hole event in PGA Tour history. Henley's victory earned him invitations to the Masters and PGA tournaments.
At the Honda Classic in Florida in March 2014, Russell Henley captured his second PGA Tour victory by holing a three-foot putt to win a four-man playoff. He entered the top 50 in the world after this victory, which also qualified him for the following Masters.

Russell Henley's Caddie
Andrew Sanders is the caddie for Russell Henley as of April 2024. Sanders has previously caddied for Jimmy Walker and Jason Schultz. In fact, he claimed that winning the Frys.com Open (now the Fortinet Championship) in 2013 with Jimmy Walker was his favorite caddie moment. Sanders remarked that "it was the culmination of a lot of hard work and determination."
Sanders appears to have been quite the player himself. Sanders played golf for the University of Houston in college before becoming eligible to compete in the 2000 U.S. Open at the age of 20. However, he didn't make the cut.
Previously, Henley used to have Todd Gjesvold in the bag. There isn't a lot of information available on Gjesvold, but we do know he studied there from 1986 to 1988. He also claims to be a caddie at the Pebble Beach Company on his LinkedIn page, which suggests he has extensive knowledge of the renowned California golf course.
Gjesvold was on the bag for one of Henley's three PGA Tour victories, which came at the 2017 Shell Houston Open.
In terms of other past caddies, Henley formerly employed Adam Hayes, who is currently Jon Rahm's caddie. Hayes, one of the best-liked caddies on the PGA Tour, attended Brevard Community College and the University of Central Florida. He started his caddying career in 2000 on the LPGA Tour and switched to the PGA Tour four years later.
