The last time we saw Charley Hull clinching the trophy was back in 2022 at the Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America. Since then, there has been a dry spell on her career’s victory. The season is close to its end, and it’s safe to say that, once again, she hasn’t snagged a win this year.
So is this dry spell a sign of Hull’s form taking a dip? Well, perhaps it’s just a phase of ‘no wins’ for her, as her overall performance has been impressive. With four top-25 finishes in the five majors, three other top-10 finishes, and a Europe-best three-win week at the Solheim Cup that included a 6-and-4 dismantling of world No. 1 Nelly Korda, Hull has delivered a strong year professionally, despite the winless streak.
Yet, there’s no denying the toll this winless streak has taken on her. If you’ve noticed, she hasn’t played as much this season, even taking some time off before her recent return at the Maybank Championship. So, where has she been?
The English golfer quipped, “I just love being at home. I love being with my boyfriend. I just love England… When I come away I get really homesick, so I’m so excited to go home. I’m in Saudi next week and then I’m home for a week.
Wait—did she just mention her boyfriend? Yes, you read that right. Over the past four weeks, Hull has been home, enjoying her time with her new partner. For the unversed, Hull was married to English MMA fighter Ozzie Smith, but the couple split in 2021 after two years of marriage. Since then, the golfer has kept her relationship status under wraps. But now, with this rare admission from the 28-year-old, one big question remains: who’s the lucky one?
