Why did LPGA star Charley Hull withdraw from the 2024 Aramco Team Series in London? 

Charley Hull withdrew from the first round of the Ladies European Tour Aramco Team Series London on Wednesday, July 3. Althoughno further details were initially given about her withdrawal, it was later announced that she did so due to a shoulder injury.

Hull posted on Instagram stories:

"Today I had to withdraw from @aramcoteamseries London following medical advice, due to ongoing pain in my right shoulder following a nasty fall on Sunday night."

"I'm so disappointed as I always love playing in this series, particularly infront of a home crowd. Sorry to the fans who came out to watch, my playing partners for leaving you after 6 holes, and to all those behind the scenes who work tirelessly to make these events run so well."

Charley Hull teed off in the Aramco Team Series London, teaming up with compatriot Annabel Dimmock and Austrian Christine Wolf, as well as an amateur player. Hull only completed six holes of the first round before withdrawing.

Leona Maguire leads the Aramco Team Series London individual contest after two rounds, with a score of 8 under. Georgia Hall, who captained the champion team in London in 2023, is second, two strokes behind Maguire.

The Aramco Team Series consists of five events (London is the third) where 36 teams of three professional players and one amateur each compete. The general format is stroke play, but the two best scores of each team on each hole are considered for the collective result.

An individual event follows in parallel. The defending individual champion, Nelly Korda, was unable to defend her 2023 title, as she withdrew due to a dog bite.
