Published: Last updated:
Here’s everything you need to know about LET and LPGA tour player, Solheim Cup star and MBE, Georgia Hall.
Georgia Hall is a big name in the world of women’s golf, especially in England. Born on April 12, 1996, in Bournemouth, Dorset, Hall has become one of the sport’s biggest stars. She’s known not just for her talent, but also for her resilience, calm demeanor under pressure, and a swing most of us are jealous of.
Hall’s love for golf began when she was just seven years old. Encouraged by her father, who would later become her caddie, it wasn’t long before she showed signs of what was to come. By her early teens, she was winning national tournaments, and by 2013 she had claimed the British Ladies Amateur title. This victory was a huge step for Hall, and it cemented her status as a player to watch.
In 2013 Hall represented Great Britain and Ireland in the Curtis Cup and earned the Women’s Amateur Golf Ranking top spot, showing the world that she was ready for life on tour. She turned professional in 2014 at the age of 18, Georgia played mainly on the LET Access Series, winning at the Open Generali de Strasbourg in September that year. Hall finished in 16th place in the LET’s Order of Merit in 2014.
Over the next few years, Hall competed in LET tournaments across Europe with highlights coming at the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in 2016 where she finished second, a T10 place at the Evian Championship in 2017, and a third-place finish at the Ricoh Women’s British Open in the same year. This landed her in the top spot for the Order of Merit in 2017.
Hall landed her first major at the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes in 2018. She won by two strokes, becoming the first British woman to win a major since 2004. Hall was playing with a full set of Callaway golf clubs at the time, but has since added other brands to her bag.
Hall also won the Order of Merit for a second year, officially becoming the youngest player to win two consecutive Ladies European Tour Order of Merit titles. She was also named as the 2018 Players’ Player of the Year, as voted for by her fellow tour professionals, and had three top-10 finishes including a season-best T4 at the Volunteers of America Classic in the 2019 season. That year, Hall was appointed MBE for services to golf in the Queen’s Birthday Honours following her win in the 2018 Women’s British Open.
In 2020, Hall played in five LET events on her way to finishing 8th on the Race to Costa del Sol, but she lost The Saudi Ladies International to Emily Kristine Pedersen in a play-off. Her first LPGA title came that year at the Cambia Portland Classic, winning during play-off against South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai.
In 2021, Hall continued her consistent run with six top-10 finishes, with her best result of the season coming at the AIG Women’s Open where she finished tied-second. Hall played in her third Solheim Cup in 2021 being part of the winning side in Toledo, Ohio.
In 2022, Hall only played in seven LET events but still finished in 10th place in the Race to Costa del Sol. She also secured her second LET title winning the Aramco Saudi Ladies International, finished runner-up at the Aramco Team Series in London, and third at the ISPS Handa World Invitational.
One of the most incredible experiences of her life came in 2022, as she was paired alongside Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Lee Trevino in the R&A’s Celebration of Champions event at St Andrews on the Monday of Open week.
In 2023, Hall finished runner-up at the LPGA Drive On Championship and the DIO Implant LA Open. 2024 saw her finish tied-22nd at the AIG Women’s Open in St Andrews. Hall has also represented Team GB at the Olympic Games (2024 in Paris) and has been a member of five Solheim Cup teams (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024).
