“It’s a shame”: Charley Hull wants Donald Trump’s golf course to return to the LPGA, claiming it’s ‘one of the best golf courses in the world’

Charley Hull went straight from her participation at the Paris 2024 Olympics to Trump Turnberry in Scotland. There, she played a round of golf as part of her preparation for the link course conditions she will face at the Women's Scottish Open and the AIG Women's Open.

Hull posted a video clip on her Instagram profile, showing part of her round at Trump Turnberry. She also spoke with Bunkered about the excellent conditions at the course.

When asked if major championships should return to Trump Turnberry, Charley Hull had this to say:

"A hundred per cent [yes]. I think it’s a shame, it’s a really top track. Honestly, it’s one of the best golf courses in the world. It would be a shame not to be on there."

Trump Turnberry has hosted numerous major championships. It has played host to four editions of The Open Championship (1977, 1986, 1994 and 2009), two editions of The Women's Open (2002, 2015) and seven editions of The Senior Open (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2003, 2006 and 2012).

Following the US Capitol events in January 2021, the R&A decided to remove Turnberry from its championship rotation due to the venue being owned by former US President Donald Trump.

What else did Charley Hull talk about in her interview?

Charley Hull also gave an update on the back injury that has plagued her in recent weeks. This was part of what the Englishwoman had to say:

"My back’s a little bit sore this morning, and my shoulder is actually a bit tight. But it comes and goes."

Charley Hull was forced to withdraw from the Aramco Team Series London in June due to injury, and a week later she teed off at the Amundi Evian Championship but missed the cut.

Hull is scheduled to play in the Women's Scottish Open starting this Thursday, August 15th at Dundonald Links in Scotland. A week later, she will play in the AIG Women's Open, the final major of the season, at the Old Course in St. Andrews, also in Scotland.

The important commitments do not end for Hull, who will play in the Solheim Cup in a few weeks. The event will take place from September 13-15 and the Englishwoman leads the European team rankings.

Hull has had a solid 2024 season, although she has yet to win. On the LPGA Tour, she has played in 11 events, making 10 cuts and posting three top 10s. Her best finish was a tie for 5th at the Dow Championship, where she teamed up with compatriot and friend Georgia Hall.

On the Ladies European Tour, she has played in four tournaments (she withdrew from one) with three top 10s, including two runner-up finishes.
