Charley Hull has just opened her 2026 campaign in dominant fashion. Bagging a win at the PIF Saudi Ladies International, she has climbed to a career-best world ranking of No. 3. Additionally, the English star became the highest-ranked British golfer in history. Amid this, a playful social media exchange has set the stage for a potential golf showdown for the English star with a LIV Gold veteran.

During a casual Instagram Q&A session, Ian Poulter was asked, “You and Luke 2v2 against me and Charley Hull?” To that, Poulter replied, “Of course @ryanevansgolf & @charley.hull if you’d fancy a 2v2 and lose l can make that happen.@lukepoults24 and I will happily take you down 👍🏻👊🏻🙏🏻

Poulter’s comment immediately prompted Charley Hull to repost that story on her Insta handle and boldly state, “We will put the postman back in his bag and post him, 1st class via Royal Mail 🤣 🤣 @ianjamespoulter”.

Charley Hull appears ready to take on Ian Poulter following a round of light-hearted online banter. It all began as a casual suggestion of a 2-vs-2 matchup. However, it soon escalated into a competitive back-and-forth, with both sides signaling they would happily settle it on the course.

If the proposed contest materialises, it would see Hull teaming up with fellow pro Ryan Evans against the LIV Golf veteran and his son, Luke Poulter. After the idea surfaced online, both parties confidently accepted the challenge.

Accepting the deal, Ian Poulter shared Hull’s cheeky response on his story and wrote, “Ok you have a Match.. Clear the diary inbound Match sending Hull & Evans packing with tail between their legs.”

Now, what might leave fans on the edge of their seats is the fact that the exchange didn’t stop there. Poulter later doubled down, declaring the match was effectively on and suggesting the pair should clear their schedules for the showdown.

While she has just accepted a new challenge from a golf veteran, Hull has recently been kept busy with a new concern: fitting all her accolades in her cabinet.

After Riyadh’s win, Charley Hull copies Justin Rose’s idea to keep her accolades secure
After a T10 finish at the HSBC Women’s World Championship, Hull secured a victory at Riyadh. However, immediately after the €631,625 win, she was concerned about where to fit her new trophy in her cabinet. Immediately, she sought inspiration from PGA Tour pro Justin Rose.

Immediately after winning the event, she stated, “I saw Justin Rose post his trophy cabinet on Instagram the other week, and I was like, ‘Right, that’s my inspiration.’ Can you make me exactly that same trophy cabinet? So sorry, Justin. I’ve copied your trophy cabinet. But it’s legendary; it looks so good.”

And Hull wasted no time. In a recent Instagram story, Hull shared a picture of her newly constructed cabinet on March 15.

She shared, “Trophy cabinet update… still waiting on my Saudi International trophy to come, and that will fit in nicely; it’s getting spray-painted black on Monday, then popping the skirting on! Then it will look ace!”

Hull shares a strong professional bond with the English golfer. The two shared the greens back in 2023 at the Grant Thornton Invitational. He even praised Hull’s contribution to the sport. Rose shared the update about his cabinet after his win at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open in the greens of Torrey Pines. And his taste in carpentry has indeed impressed Hull.

‘Truly Spoilt Me’: Charley Hull Showers Mysterious Boo With Love After Birdie Bets Spiced Her Holidays

Charley Hull has been enjoying a lively break from competitive golf following the 2024 LPGA season.

While many peers stayed busy with tournaments, Hull chose a more relaxed route, sharing glimpses of her travels and personal moments that kept fans engaged across social media.

Her latest update drew attention for its heartfelt tone. Posting from a chocolate factory, Hull expressed deep affection for a mystery partner, writing that he had “truly spoilt” her during the holidays. The message hinted at a joyful relationship, possibly tied to playful “birdie bets” between the couple.

Speculation around her partner’s identity has circulated, though nothing has been confirmed. Past rumors linking her to Gaz Beadle were dismissed after Hull clarified their split, citing the challenges of balancing demanding careers and personal responsibilities.

Beyond romance, Hull has embraced her downtime with family outings, social events, and even a brief hair-color experiment before returning to her signature blonde.

Alongside leisure, she continues to strengthen her personal brand through sponsor collaborations, maintaining her presence as one of golf’s most recognizable personalities

After a winless 2025 season, Nelly Korda is determined not to repeat past mistakes. While taking time away from the LPGA Tour, she’s staying sharp through steady practice. Still, even during training, she recognizes the need to reset mentally and has found a simple way to unwind after tough sessions.

Korda recently shared a relatable moment with fans, admitting she sometimes sits in her car for about 10 minutes after a “humbling” round. It’s her way of decompressing after practice. Despite her elite level, this quiet routine shows she shares the same post-game frustrations and need for reflection as everyday golfers.

Clues from her social media suggest she may not be practicing alone. She previously posted a photo of her sister, Jessica Korda, hinting they could be spending time together. Meanwhile, Korda has skipped the LPGA’s Asian swing, last competing at the 2026 HGV Tournament of Champions, where she secured a shortened but significant victory.

However, her absence could impact her world No. 2 ranking. Charley Hull has climbed to No. 3 after a major win in Saudi Arabia, while Jeeno Thitikul continues to extend her lead at the top. With Korda not returning until mid-March, her ranking position may soon face a serious test.
