‘Ruthless’ Charley Hull Doesn’t Idolize Nelly Korda but 100% Agrees With Her on LPGA’s Worst Problem

Charley Hull and Nelly Korda are two of the brightest stars in women’s golf, and while they may approach the game differently, they share a mutual frustration: slow play. Hull, fresh off a second-place finish at The Annika Invitational, was visibly irritated during her post-round interview after enduring a final round that stretched into the dark.

Hull didn’t mince words, calling for severe penalties for repeat offenders, including revoking Tour cards after three offenses. “I’m quite ruthless,” she admitted, highlighting her desire for stricter measures to curb delays.

Korda, on the other hand, takes a more pragmatic approach, adapting her rhythm to slow conditions. Despite their different methods, both athletes agree that sluggish play is a problem that hampers the game.

Although Hull and Korda are rivals on the course, their dynamic is one of professional respect rather than personal animosity. Hull, for instance, remains focused on her own game, rarely watching others, including Korda. However, both acknowledge each other’s talent.

Their competitive history includes memorable clashes, such as Hull’s dominant victory at the Solheim Cup and Korda’s redemption with a seventh LPGA title.

With the 2024 CME Group Tour Championship on the horizon, fans are eager to see how these two competitors will face off yet again. One thing is certain: their shared frustration with slow play is a rallying cry for change in the LPGA.
