Charley Hull has withdrawn from the PIF London Championship 2025 just before the tournament’s start, following medical advice related to an ankle injury. After undergoing an MRI scan on Thursday, August 7, doctors recommended rest to avoid worsening the condition.
The English golfer had been scheduled to compete in this major Ladies European Tour (LET) event, with teams and tee times already announced before her decision to pull out. Despite withdrawing from play, Hull plans to remain in London over the weekend to engage with her supporters.
“Gutted to say I’ve had to withdraw from the PIF London Championship this week,” she wrote on Instagram. “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.
“Absolutely gutted not to be playing at home, especially at an event like this. It means so much to me, and I’m really sorry to the fans coming out and to my sponsors, especially Golf Saudi. Hopefully I’ll still get to meet some of you over the weekend. Appreciate all the support. I’ll be back soon.”
