Charley Hull is ready to battle it out with major champion Georgia Hall at the prestigious Riyadh Golf Club. Taking place from 31 October to 2 November<\/strong>, the tournament promises to be a captivating conclusion to the Aramco Team Series<\/a><\/strong><\/span> presented by PIF.<\/p>\n

Both Hull and Hall have made waves as key players on the international stage, representing Team Europe in this year\u2019s Solheim Cup and Team GB in Paris. They will be joined by Alison Lee of the United States and Thailand\u2019s Patty Tavatanakit, creating a superb lineup that promises exceptional golf.<\/p>\n

Hull, in particular, has an impressive track record within the Series, with nine top-ten finishes in just ten appearances, including a spectacular win at the individual title in New York in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompeting in Riyadh at the Aramco Team Series this year is a fantastic opportunity for me,\u201d Hull shared. Her recent performances put her in good stead coming into the finale, having finished second in both Tampa and Korea. \u201cI feel my game is in great shape, and I’m eager to turn those near misses into a win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the launch of women\u2019s professional golf in Saudi Arabia in 2020, Hull has participated in the Kingdom eight times, including both this Series and the Aramco Saudi Ladies International. Her firsthand experience has allowed her to witness the remarkable growth of the sport in the region. As a newly appointed Golf Saudi ambassador, Hull expressed her gratitude for the ongoing efforts to broaden access to golf, particularly for women and girls.<\/p>\n

“The work that Golf Saudi continue to do in introducing more women and girls to the game through these events and beyond is inspiring, and the legacy they are creating is one I\u2019m incredibly grateful to be a part of,” she remarked.<\/p>\n

Hull emphasised the significant strides made since her initial appearance, noting, \u201cThe sport has grown leaps and bounds here.\u201d Last year\u2019s shift of tournaments to Riyadh further reflects the Kingdom’s growing passion for golf, with increasingly enthusiastic crowds coming out to support the athletes.<\/p>\n

Hall, another powerhouse in women\u2019s golf, knows a thing or two about winning. She took home the trophy at the 2023 Aramco Team Series in London and triumphed at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International in Jeddah in 2022. Yet, her competitive spirit is steadfast. After narrowly missing out on repeating her team success in London, losing in a gripping three-hole playoff, Hall is eager to clinch her first individual title in Riyadh.<\/p>\n

“The playoff loss in London was hard, especially after coming so close to defending our team title, but it\u2019s moments like those that fuel my determination,\u201d Hall reflected, her resolve palpable. \u201cI\u2019m more motivated than ever to secure another Aramco Team Series title, and Riyadh is the perfect stage for that. I\u2019m looking forward to the challenge and putting on a great performance for the fans.”<\/p>\n

The Aramco Team Series grand finale will feature the player and fan-favourite format, bringing together 28 teams for three days of competitive play.

A state-of-the-art fan zone will be set up at Riyadh Golf Club, allowing spectators to test their skills while enjoying the action on the course.<\/p>\n

This initiative is part of Golf Saudi\u2019s GOGOLF program, which aims to make golf accessible and enjoyable for all ages. Fans will have the opportunity to receive tips to enhance their game or even try their hand at golf for the first time.<\/p>\n

As the countdown to the series finale<\/a><\/strong><\/span> begins, all eyes will be on Hull and Hall, both of whom are poised for a fiercely competitive showdown that could determine the Aramco Team Series champion.<\/p>\n
