Charley  Hull (born 20 March 1996) is an English professional golfer who has achieved success both on the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA Tour, winning honours as Rookie of the Year, becoming the youngest competitor to participate in the international Solheim Cup matches and becoming a champion on the European circuit in 2014 before the age of 18. In 2016, she won the prestigious CME Group Tour Championship, the season-ending event of the LPGA Tou

Hull was first introduced to golf when she was two years old, and she began playing with her father at Kettering Golf Club. She left school at the age of 13 to be home-schooled and started playing in amateur tournaments

Hull came to public attention aged 9, when she won a significant 18-hole handicap event against adults with a score of 28 stableford points from a handicap of 26 [2] at Turnberry.[3] Aged 10 she played alongside Morgan Pressel in the British Open Pro-Am.[4] Hull then won several amateur events in the United States and Great Britain and has ranked in the top-10 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking,[5] reaching a high of number three in the world.[6]

Hull played on the Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup team in 2012. She lost her fourballs and foursomes matches on the first two days but won her singles match on the final day as the GB&I team beat the United States team 10½–9½.[7] She had initially been removed from the team in a dispute with the Ladies Golf Union over a mandatory training session that conflicted with the Kraft Nabisco Championship,[4] a major championship on the LPGA Tour, to which Hull had been invited.[8] The LGU re-instated Hull to the team and Hull finished tied for 38th at the Kraft Nabisco Championship

Hull turned professional on 1 January 2013.[6] She made her professional debut in March 2013[12] and reeled off five consecutive second-place finishes on the Ladies European Tour: Lalla Meryem Cup, South African Women’s Open, Turkish Airlines Ladies Open, Deloitte Ladies Open and a playoff loss at the UniCredit Ladies German Open
