Mad not to consider it” – When LPGA icon Charley Hull shared her two cents on a LIV Golf women’s league

Charley Hull once shared her thoughts on having a LIV Golf Women’s league. The LIV Golf league for men was introduced in 2022. While the league received initial backlashes, the golf world got accustomed to the new normal. Top-tier players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and more play in the breakaway league.

However, the LIV League doesn’t have a wing for women’s professional golf to date. Hull shared her thoughts in 2022 that she’d not mind having a LIV Golf league for the women’s circuit. She said, via NGC:

“Well I haven’t heard anything yet…But at the end of the day I think you’d be mad not to consider it.”

Another golfer, Carlota Ciganda, said about this, via Golf Week:

“I think a lot of women would go because it’s a big difference…If they are asking you to go to Saudi and they are going to pay you $5 million, what would you do? Would you stay here? Would you go and take the money?I understand both points. I don’t think it’s right or wrong. You have some political ideas but at the same time this is our job and if you have an opportunity somewhere else why not take advantage and go.”

Currently, the LIV League has a new CEO named Scott O’Neil, and he replaced Greg Norman this year.
