Georgia Hall is back where she belongs. The 2018 Women’s British Open champion and five-time Solheim Cup warrior returns to Centurion Club for the PIF London Championship, held 8-10 August, with unfinished business and a record of consistency most golfers would trade their lob wedge for.
The PIF London Championship, part of the ambitious PIF Global Series on the Ladies European Tour (LET), has never seen Hall finish outside the top five. Let that marinate for a moment. Fourth in 2021, second in 2022 (falling just short to Bronte Law), fifth in 2023, and a tidy T3 last year—Centurion clearly agrees with her more than a Sunday roast does with a Brit abroad.
But 2025 hasn’t exactly been all tee boxes and tap-ins. Hall has only one top-10 this season, courtesy of the Honda LPGA Thailand, and hasn’t hoisted a trophy since she lapped the field at the 2022 Aramco Saudi Ladies International. That win? Wire-to-wire and five shots clear—like she had the cheat codes.
Still, the return of Georgia Hall to Hertfordshire gives the event a shot of star power and a sense of familiarity that fans will welcome like a warm pint on a rainy day. “The PIF London Championship has always been special to me,” she’s said before, and judging by her performances, the feeling is mutual.
She won’t be strolling the fairways alone. Charley Hull—her Solheim Cup sidekick and fellow fan favourite—joins the party, bringing with her two LPGA titles, four LET trophies, and enough swagger to fill a double-decker bus. Alongside them: 22-year-old Mimi Rhodes, who currently leads the LET Order of Merit, and rising star Annabell Fuller, one of the brightest young names in British golf.
From across the Channel, Spain’s Carlota Ciganda arrives in white-hot form. With a recent LPGA win at the Meijer Classic and a season-ending triumph on home soil last year, the eight-time LET winner and Solheim stalwart is a legitimate threat to run the table.
The field also includes Major champions Celine Boutier and Patty Tavatanakit. Boutier, world No. 17 and 2023 Evian queen, has been quietly stacking top finishes like library books. Tavatanakit—whose 2021 Chevron win still echoes—returns to PIF soil after winning the 2024 Aramco Saudi Ladies International. Neither is here for a holiday.
In its third stop of the season following Saudi Arabia and South Korea, the PIF Global Series rolls into Centurion Club with momentum and muscle. Backed by Golf Saudi, the Series isn’t just about birdies and branding—it’s a full-tilt push to amplify women’s golf worldwide. And let’s be honest, it’s working. Each event draws stronger fields, bigger crowds, and more attention—on and off the course.
As part of that mission, the PIF London Championship remains proudly family-friendly. Kids under 16? They get in free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. And those ticket sales? Every penny goes to grassroots golf development in England. So if you’ve ever wanted to support the game’s future while watching some of the best players in the world, this is your chance.
The message from organisers is clear: this isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s a movement. A shift. A rallying cry for inclusion, opportunity, and visibility in women’s sport. And with the likes of Hall, Hull, Ciganda, and company turning up, there’s every reason to believe the PIF London Championship will deliver the kind of spectacle that keeps even the most cynical hack reaching for their clubs.
