Career

In 1969, Henderson was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. He worked as an engineer in the oil industry.

In 1992, Henderson turned professional. In 1996, Henderson had success at the European Tour qualifying school earning rights to play on tour. In 1997, Henderson was named as the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year in 1997. He also finished inside the top 100 on the European Tour Order of Merit the following season but lost his card at the end of 1999.
