Golf sensation Charley Hull is set to make her mark at the Paris 2024 Olympics. As one of Team GB's most eagerly anticipated stars, Hull will compete in Round 1 of the women's individual event on Wednesday, followed by Round 2 on Thursday.

Having swung her first golf club at the mere age of two, Hull’s impressive talent has led her on a long path towards competing for Olympic glory. It is the 28-year-old from Kettering’s second appearance at the Games, having previously finished tied for seventh place at Rio eight years ago.

She now boasts three LET and two LPGA titles, and has been part of the victorious Solheim Cup team four times - but also has more second-place finishes (six) than any other male or female player on the top tours since June 2023. As we cheer on Hull in her quest for the main prize, The Express brings you everything you need to know about the golf star, including her net worth and little-known love life.

Hull's successful career on the green has earned her approximately $8.3million (£6.5m) as of August 2024, according to the LPGA Tour. This year alone, she has won $546,739 (£430,869), with the majority of that coming from her tie for 16th place at the Women's PGA Championship.

Her most lucrative year so far was 2023, when she earned a staggering £1.9m due to her second-place finishes in the U.S. Women's Open and Women's British Open. According to her Instagram posts, she also has sponsorship deals with Malbon, TaylorMade, ISPS Handa, Boxto and Arnold Clark.

By the end of last year, reports estimated her net worth to be around $9m (£7m). That figure has since increased due to her recent tournament participation.

Hull tied the knot with MMA star Ozzie Smith on 21 September 2019 after a two-year relationship. It was reported that Ozzie popped the question on Christmas Day 2018.

The couple had a luxury wedding in Hull's hometown of North Northamptonshire but divorced in 2021 for reasons not disclosed. During their time together, Smith won the Impact Fight UK 14 super-welterweight championship in 2019, with Hull cheering him on from the sidelines.

Hull is known for keeping details of her personal life secret, and she hasn't revealed much about her romances post-divorce. However, during a 2023 LPGA Tour interview, she mentioned an anonymous boyfriend who motivated her to finally get her driver's licence at age 26.

She revealed that he lived in Sunningdale, Berkshire, requiring her to travel long distances. Earlier reports suggested she was dating former Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest midfielder Lee Tomlin, as photos of them playing golf together emerged on Instagram.

In May 2024, The Sun reported that Hull was dating former Geordie Shore star Gary 'Gaz' Beadle. Gaz rose to fame thanks to his role on the hit MTV show from 2011 to 2017 and later appeared on Ex on the Beach.

Gaz has also started producing golf content, teeing off on his YouTube channel 'Gaz's Golf'. He seemed to confirm their relationship by leaving a love heart emoji under one of Hull’s more risque Instagram posts.

But a source told the tabloid in June that the pair had called time on their romance, saying: "It's a real shame but having a full on relationship was just too hard. Charley is super busy with work and Gaz also has a lot going on.

"He's trying to juggle seeing his kids with working and it all got a bit much. They had lots of fun and will probably still play golf together again if the chance arises."
