RIYADH: Charley Hull is determined to end her 2024 season with a win as she prepares to go head-to-head against Major winner Georgia Hall at Riyadh Golf Club from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.

The duo, who represented Team Europe in 2024鈥檚 Solheim Cup and Team GB in Paris, join Alison Lee of the United States and Thailand鈥檚 Patty Tavatanakit as headline players in an electrifying conclusion to the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF, organized by Golf Saudi.

Hull has an impressive track record in the Series, notching up nine top 10 finishes in just 10 appearances. This includes a triumphant individual title win in New York in 2021.

鈥淐ompeting in Riyadh at the Aramco Team Series this year is a fantastic opportunity for me,鈥� said Hull. 鈥淎fter finishing second in both Tampa and Korea I feel my game is in great shape, and I鈥檓 eager to turn those near-misses into a win.鈥�

Since the inception of women鈥檚 professional golf in the Kingdom in 2020, Hull has competed in 黑料社区 eight times.

Reflecting on her experiences, Hull, who became a Golf Saudi ambassador this year, said she had noticed the remarkable growth of golf in 黑料社区 since her first appearance.

鈥淭he 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鈥檓 incredibly grateful to be a part of,鈥� she said.

鈥淭he sport has grown (in) leaps and bounds here. Last year, we saw the move of the tournaments to Riyadh which I think really shows the Kingdom鈥檚 increasing passion for the sport, with more and more fans coming to watch us.鈥�

Meanwhile, Hall has proven her ability to lead a team to victory, winning the 2023 Aramco Team Series presented by PIF in London. She has also enjoyed individual success on Saudi soil, capturing the Aramco Saudi Ladies International 2022 title in Jeddah.

This year, she narrowly missed repeating her team success in London, losing in a thrilling three-hole playoff for the team title, and she remains determined to capture her first individual title in Riyadh.

鈥淭he playoff loss in London was hard, especially after coming so close to defending our team title, but it鈥檚 moments like those that fuel my determination,鈥� she said.

鈥淚鈥檓 more motivated than ever to secure another Aramco Team Series title, and Riyadh is the perfect stage for that. I鈥檓 looking forward to the challenge and putting on a great performance for the fans.鈥�

The final showdown of the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF will see the player and fan-favorite format return to Riyadh, with 28 teams competing over three days.
