Charley Hull lauds LIV Golf funders for 'growing the game' in latest post

Charley Hull praised LIV Golf funders PIF for growing the game in the latest post. Her comment came after the conclusion of PIF Saudi Ladies International, which is backed by the Saudi fund.

On Saturday, February 16, Charley Hull carded 4-under 68 in the final round of the PIF Saudi Ladies International and tied for eighth. She finished at 9-under and finished seven strokes behind winner Jeeno Thitikul.

On Sunday, Hull took to Instagram to share a few photographs from her week at Riyadh Golf Club.

"T8 this week at PIF Saudi Ladies International ✌️ Huge thanks to Golf Saudi & Public Investment Fund for this great event and your ongoing support in growing our game🤩," she wrote in caption.

For the uninitiated, the English star is an ambassador for Golf Saudi. The PIF has been sponsoring both men's and women's events since 2022.

Recently, LIV Golf's CEO, Scott O'Neil, spoke about expanding into women's golf as well.

"I've had the privilege of having a couple of conversations with Liz Moore, who’s the interim LPGA commissioner," he said as per Golf Digest Australia. "She's going to join me in Miami, and we're going to talk a little bit about how we might contribute to the women's game."

"With LIV’s introduction, we'd like to take all the good that we’ve learned and put that into practice if the women’s game is one that we enter," Scott O'Neil revealed.
