At the end of the third round, it didn’t seem like Charley Hull was in pole position to claim victory. She was sitting a few positions down the leaderboard, playing the $5 million LET event. However, the English pro made an incredible comeback on Saturday to claim the $750,000 paycheck for herself. And she couldn’t be more delighted about it.

As Beth Ann Nichols of Golfweek tweeted, “Charley Hull wins in Saudi. Her immediate reaction: “Least that will pay my house off now!” Hull wins $750,000. She started the day three back and birdied six of her last eight holes to card a final-round 65.”

Hull had finished the third round at T11, three strokes away from the top of the leaderboard. With the defending champion, Jeeno Thitikul, not playing, she had a little less competition to face at the Riyadh Golf Club. But Rio Takeda and Hye-Jin Choi weren’t making it easy for her to chase them down.

However, Hull turned things around in her favor on Saturday, February 14, 2026. That helped her claim her ninth career win across multiple leagues. Notably, it is her fifth Ladies European Tour title. Towards the end of the 2025 season, Hull had claimed the Kroger Queen City Championship to win her third LPGA Tour title. Alternatively, she has also won the 2020 Rose Ladies Series hosted by Justin Rose and his wife.

As far as her home is concerned, there haven’t been any reports of Hull investing in a new property recently. She moved into her new home in Sunningdale, England, in 2023. She also got a state-of-the-art indoor golf simulator worth $40,000 installed in her home back then. Interestingly, the LPGA Tour event that she won in 2025 held a relatively small pot of $2 million.

Notably, that’s not the only big career move Hull made recently. She has also been working closely with Tiger Woods & Co.

Charley Hull is paving her own path to success

Not everyone was eager to participate in the PIF Saudi Ladies International 2026. The likes of Nelly Korda & Co. don’t often switch to the LET to make appearances in alternate events. However, Hull has never followed the same path.

Even when it comes to the WTGL, she was really excited to get the opportunity to join Tiger Woods‘ indoor simulation golf league. And she didn’t shy away from expressing the same.

“I’m just grateful for them giving us an opportunity, no matter what, really,” Hull told the media during the HGV Tournament of Champions 2026 presser. She added, “I feel like they’re giving us an opportunity to go out there on the same stage as the guys, even though it’s not at the same time, fair play to them.”

It’s evident that the English pro is looking forward to being a part of the WTGL alongside her peers. Notably, she didn’t back down when Nelly Korda questioned TMRW Sports’ approach of separating men’s and women’s golf.
