Charley Hull is set to tee it up at the 2025 Ford Championship in Chandler, Arizona this week. The tournament will be played at Whirlwind Golf Club at Wild Horse Pass beginning this Thursday, March 27.
Hull played in the Ford Championship last year, which was at Seville Golf and Country Club in Gilbert, Arizona in 2024. Hull shot an even-par 72 in the first round before withdrawing due to illness.
The English golf star is one of the biggest fan favorites on the LPGA Tour. The Ford Championship's star-studded field also includes Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, A Lim Kim, and Yealimi Noh.
Korda will attempt to defend her title. She won the event last year, which was one of her seven LPGA Tour victories in 2024.
