Charley Hull's fifth Ladies European Tour title victory at the 2026 PIF Saudi Ladies International might cause her to change the dimensions of her trophy cabinet.

Moments after securing the win, Charley Hull's attention shifted to the trophy as she walked straight toward it, eager to see it up close. She circled around it, studying its size and smiling as she pulled her phone out, checking something unexpected.

An Instagram video by LET Golf showcased the 2025 Kroger Queen City Champion subsequently asking, "Do you think this will fit in my trophy cabinet? This is my trophy cabinet I have built. I just want to make sure that it fits in because I’ve had all my sizes measured."

Hull entered the final round three shots behind the lead in a tie for 11th and recorded a 65 (-7) to move to 19-under and set the clubhouse target. 

She secured the one-stroke win over South Africa’s Casandra Alexander and Japan’s Akie Iwai. Hull said she worked hard during the off-season, and as a result, she was able to see the outcome early in the year. 

She also explained that the event holds personal significance because of her role as a Golf Saudi ambassador, and therefore, winning in front of her sponsors carried special meaning.

Even after falling short against Charley Hull, Casandra Alexander and Akie Iwai remained positive about their performances and the way they competed in the final round.

Casandra Alexander, who finished tied for second, fell one shot short of forcing a playoff after making a bogey on the 17th. 

Despite that setback, she remained positive about her performance, saying, “It’s been a great start to the season. There have been a lot of positives from this week, and I can learn from a couple of the shots, but overall, it was pretty solid.” 

Akie Iwai also shared second place and pointed to a three-putt on the 17th as the turning point that denied her a share of the lead. 

Still, Iwai remained encouraged by her overall play and said, "Everything was good in my game... hopefully, this will give me a good feeling."

So, Hull seems to have regained her winning form early in 2026. Which other coveted tournaments do you think she will win this year?
