Charley Esmee Hull (born 20 March 1996) is an English professional golfer who has won tournaments on both the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the LPGA Tour.
Aged 9, Hull won the Ladies Golf Union Championship, playing against adults. She went on to have a successful amateur career, winning several national titles, and she was selected by Europe for the Junior Solheim Cup team in 2011, and by Great Britain and Ireland for the Curtis Cup in 2012. Hull turned professional in 2013, and after ten top-10 finishes and a debut appearance at the 2013 Solheim Cup (the then youngerst ever competitor at the tournament), she was named LET Rookie of the Year. Her first Ladies European Tour title was achieved at the 2014 Lalla Meryem Cup, and she won the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit at the end of the same year. Hull won her first LPGA title in 2016 at the Tour Championship. She won further Ladies European Tour titles in 2019, 2021 and 2024, and she won her second LPGA title at the Volunteers of America Classic in 2022.
Hull has won seven professional titles during her career, including two on the LPGA Tour, and four on the Ladies European Tour. She has nine top-10 finishes in majors, and has finished runner-up on three occasions; at the 2016 ANA Inspiration, the 2023 U.S. Women's Open, and the 2023 Women's British Open. Hull has competed in seven Solheim Cups, winning three, and has a career high year-end world ranking of eighth.
