Charley Hull has revealed that US President Donald Trump has invited her to play a round of golf after the two met at Wednesday’s state banquet at Windsor Castle, an evening the LPGA star described as 'really special'.
Hull, 29, was one of the select few sporting guests at the lavish dinner hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla in Trump’s honour.
The president, 79, attended with First Lady Melania, his daughter Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos.
Golfing royalty Sir Nick Faldo was also among those present, reflecting Trump’s long-standing love of the sport.

Hull, fresh from winning her first LPGA Tour title in more than three years at the Kroger Queen City Championship, revealed that the pair discussed golf during the banquet — and that Trump is eager to arrange a game before the end of the year.
Furthermore, she also revealed they'd intended to play golf together before but she turned down the chance because she was going on holiday instead.
"I spoke to him last night and he has invited me [to play]," Hull told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“He has said he wants to sort a game out. That is pretty cool.

Known for her aggressive style and candid personality, she has also gained a reputation as one of the LPGA’s most marketable stars.

The look was shared with her followers on Instagram, where she gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes of the royal occasion.
Hull’s growing global profile has coincided with a run of strong form.
Her victory last week ended a three-year wait for an LPGA Tour title and solidified her position as one of Europe’s top players ahead of next year’s Solheim Cup.
