It marks the golfer’s second appearance at the Games, having finished tied for seventh place eight years ago in Rio, before earning her first LPGA Tour victory in the same year. She has a total of three LET and two LPGA titles to her name, being part of the winning Solheim Cup team on four occasions at the most prestigious team competition in women’s golf.

With six runner-up finishes since June 2023 – the most by any male or female player on the top tours – Hull will be desperate to bring home the main prize. And now Mirror Sport brings you all you need to know about Hull before cheering on the Paris hopeful, including her net worth and love life.

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

Her most lucrative year to date was 2023, where she picked up a whopping £1.9m thanks to runner-up performances in the U.S. Women’s Open and Women’s British Open. Off the course, she has paid sponsorship deals with Malbon, TaylorMade, ISPS Handa, Boxto and Arnold Clark, according to her Instagram posts.

Reports at the end of the last year claimed her net worth to be in the region of $9m (£7m), though that figure has since grown with her recent tournament appearances

They had a lavish wedding in her hometown of North Northamptonshire but divorced in 2021 for unspecified reasons. During their time together, Smith won the Impact Fight UK 14 super-welterweight championship in 2019, where Hull cheered him on.

New ‘love interest’

Hull is known for keeping her private life just that, and she did not disclose much information about her dating life after her divorce. Still, she referenced an unnamed boyfriend in a 2023 LPGA Tour interview, whom she explained was the motivation behind finally getting her driver’s licence at the age of 26.

She revealed he lived in Sunningdale, Berkshire, and that she had to travel a long distance. Reports previously claimed she dated former Middlesbrough and Cardiff City midfielder Lee Tomlin, with snaps of the pair playing golf shared on Instagram.

The Sun reported in May 2024 that she was dating Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle of Geordie Shore fame. Gaz is a well-known TV personality who appeared on the MTV series from 2011 to 2017, before featuring on Ex on the Beach.
