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.

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.
