English golf star Charley Hull is living a whirlwind chapter of her life that feels more like a movie script than reality. Just days after capturing her first title of the 2025 season — and ending a grueling three-year drought — Hull swapped her golf gear for high glamour, stepping into the dazzling halls of Windsor Castle for a state banquet that made global headlines.
The 29-year-old, still “buzzing” from her shocking triumph at the Kroger Queen City Championship, stunned in a champagne-colored halter gown paired with jeweled heels and a Yves Saint Laurent clutch. On Instagram, where she shared a carousel of glamorous photos, Hull quipped: “Swapped the golf gear for something a little more fancy.” But the real bombshell of the evening came when she revealed she had “finally” met U.S. President Donald Trump, calling the occasion “an unforgettable evening… one for the memory books.”
Hull, who once sparked controversy for smoking cigarettes on the course before quitting earlier this year in a bet, looked every bit the star as she mingled with royalty, presidents, and world leaders. Invited by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, she dined alongside political heavyweights and global icons — yet somehow managed to steal the spotlight.
Her presence at Windsor came on the heels of one of the most dramatic victories in her career. At the Kroger, Hull toppled world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, who shockingly four-putted the final hole to hand Hull her first LPGA title since 2022. Hull admitted she was shaking over the final putt, confessing she “just didn’t expect it” after years of heartbreak and bad luck. “Every dog has its day,” she said, and this weekend, Hull’s moment finally arrived.
What makes her resurgence even more astonishing is the adversity she has faced. In the past two months alone, Hull has collapsed mid-round at the Amundi Evian Championship due to a sudden virus, been stretchered off the course in France, and hobbled around in a medical boot after tripping over a curb at the PIF London Championship. Few could have predicted that, weeks later, she would be holding a trophy — and then posing for photos inside Windsor Castle with kings, queens, and presidents.
Adding to her growing celebrity aura, Hull recently appeared in “Happy Gilmore 2,” blending sport, Hollywood, and now politics into a career unlike any other.
For Charley Hull, September 2025 will go down as the month she didn’t just win a championship — she conquered the headlines, captivated the royals, and secured her place as one of the most fascinating figures in global sport.
