Golf is demanding. With all the travel and the hectic schedule, the elite golfers seldom find time for their families. Maybe this is the reason golfers enjoy the off-season so much? They make up for the lost time. However, things become even more challenging as traveling to compete takes up hours. It is for the same reason that many golfers decide to leave behind their hometowns and settle in the US. But for the English golfer Charley Hull, she is still not ready to make that move.

In a recent report from Gabby Herzig, Hull opened up about her priorities and why she won’t be leaving her house to settle in America anytime soon. Reflecting on her decision, Hull pointed out she loves spending time with her family, and that is why she has never thought of setting her base in Florida or Arizona. She has often shared photos online with her family, and always tries to be there for the big moments like Christmas, birthdays, or baby showers. 

“Yeah, I eat dinner at 5 p.m. and go to bed at 6 p.m. I just like to communicate and speak to people at home. I get homesick,” said Hull, talking about what she does when not at home. “I just love being at home so much. I’ve traveled, and l’ve been pro since I was a teenager.”

During her childhood, Hull’s golfing talents bloomed pretty early. Thus, at just 13 years of age, she had to quit school. And at 16, Hull turned pro. Since then, she has been involved in a lot of international travel, which has made her homesick.

However, staying in the US would have been so much easier for the 29-year-old. For example, if she stayed in Florida or Arizona, Hull wouldn’t have to spend hours traveling back and forth. When Lydia Ko turned pro back in 2013, she made Orlando, Florida, her base for training. Another big perk she would have enjoyed is the significant tax benefits in states like Florida.

But while most LPGA players like Ko, Celine Boutier, Minjee Lee, and others have made the switch, Hull is pretty much reluctant. And she does have a solid reason for the same. According to Hull, she is not willing to play three tournaments at a stretch and stay away from England for a long time. Back during her childhood, Hull’s golfing talents bloomed pretty early. Thus, at just 13 years of age she had to quit school. And at 16, Hull turned pro. 

Since then, she has been involved in a lot of international travel, that has made her homesick. “I just love being at home so much. I’ve traveled and l’ve been pro since I was a teenager. Do you know what I mean?” the English golfer concluded.

Amid changes in the LPGA Tour, Charley Hull voices in her dream of launching a women’s Masters

LPGA CEO Craig Kessler recently threw light on his new vision, which is concentrating on more mixed events. Adding to that, Nelly Korda, too, has voiced her support for that vision. Now, alongside Korda, Hull, too, recently shared how she is aiming for a Women’s Masters in Augusta.

Hull has previously praised Tiger Woods for bringing in the required changes in the sport while also increasing golf’s visibility and reach. And now, as it appears, Hull is also looking forward to doing the same. Augusta National is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and celebrated golf courses across the globe. The greens of Augusta witness the grandeur of the Masters every year. But that same grandeur is still a dream for LPGA golfers.

A few weeks back, the English golfer shared how Augusta has acquired the top position in her “golf bucket list.” Golf broadcaster Chantelle McCabe reflected on Hull’s wishes and stated, “Charley Hull says Augusta National is at the top of her golf bucket list (and same for many other LPGA players… wild they haven’t been invited). This would be a home run content capture.” 

Augusta National has been allowing female members for more than a decade. However, now, it’s time to tell whether they take a bigger leap forward to give the LPGA phenoms the chances and opportunities they deserve.
