Charley Hull Back in Business After Collapsing at Evian Championship

LPGA Tour star and fan favorite Charley Hull confirmed her commitment to the upcoming PIF London Championship. The tournament is part of the PIF Global Series, formerly known as the Aramco Team Series.

This event will also mark the Englishwoman’s third consecutive tournament in a three-week span, which speaks volumes for her health after collapsing during the first round of the Evian Championship last week.

As you may recall, Hull managed to play 12 holes during the first round at Évian-Les-Bains, but on the third hole (the 12th of the round for her), she had to sit on the side of a bunker due to severe discomfort. She managed to finish the hole but collapsed again on the fourth tee and had to withdraw.

Hours later, Hull herself explained that it was all due to a virus that had been affecting her for several days, but which coincidentally worsened on the first day of the tournament.

The two-time LPGA Tour winner’s return will take place next week at the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open at Dundonald Links. A week later, she will compete in the AIG Women’s Open, the final major of the season, at Royal Porthcawl, Wales.

The following week, Hull’s schedule will include the PIF London Championship at the Centurion Club, completing three of the toughest weeks of British golf.

Charley Hull has been a Star of the PIF Global Series

Coincidentally, Charley Hull withdrew from last year’s London event due to illness. A year earlier, she had finished second, four strokes behind current World No. 1 Nelly Korda. She also finished second in the team tournament that year.

Hull has been very successful in the Aramco Team Series, now the PIF Global Series, with two wins (New York in 2021 and Riyadh in 2024) and four second-place finishes in individual tournaments. She has also achieved two other runner-up finishes in the team tournaments.

This success has opened some doors for her among golf-related organizations in Saudi Arabia. Hull is currently an ambassador for Golf Saudi, an institution closely associated with the Public Investment Fund, which is also the title sponsor of the Global Series.

The PIF London Championship will be the second event in the series this season. The series will then call on Houston in September, and Shenzhen, China, in November.
