Seoul, Korea: World number eight Charley Hull says it will be a special moment when the Ladies European Tour (LET) makes its tournament bow in Korea this week, at the Aramco Team Series Presented by PIF – Korea. 

Women’s golf’s most innovative tournament is set to make its mark in Seoul as the first and only tournament in the world where an amateur plays alongside three professionals to contribute to the final score. 

England’s Hull will captain one of the 36 teams that will go head-to-head at New Korea Country Club from May 10-12 for the team title. A further day of golf will determine the individual champion.  

For Hull, competing in a new location for both the series and LET is an opportunity to bring the circuit to one of the powerhouse countries in the women’s game.

Hull, who achieved a career-high ranking of seventh earlier this year, said: “Korea has produced some incredible women golfers who are consistently performing at the top. Having the LET and Aramco Team Series make that move to bring us to Korea will be a fantastic chance for us to show all the avid golf fans what makes this series so unique and showcase the talent who play across it.” 

Hull will enter the second round of the Aramco Series with a hunger for claiming the individual title, having narrowly missed out in Tampa, where German Alexandra Forsterling emerged victorious. 

Hull said: “My game has been in great shape this season which has helped my confidence, both on and off the course. Last time out in Tampa I came close, but I’m determined to go one better in Korea. It would be great to claim the first ever LET win in the country, and give myself momentum ahead of a big year.” 

Among those who will join Hull in the starting line-up in Seoul are Korean Kim Hyo-joo and American Danielle Kang.
