Earlier this week, Hull confirmed her withdrawal from the tournament via her Instagram story, stating:

“Gutted to say I’ve had to withdraw from the PIF London Championship this week. Picked up some ankle ligament damage after a (non-serious) accident off the course. Nothing major, but the docs say I’ve got to rest or I’ll make it worse.

Furthermore, Hull also shared her disappointment at not being able to play in front of her home crowd. She apologized to her fans who were coming to watch her in action. Earlier in the season, Charley Hull had to withdraw from the Evian Championship due to illness.
