Charley Hull has never been afraid to court controversy in her golf career, and now she\u2019s weighed in with an explosive political view. Fresh from ranting about slow play at The\u00a0ANNIKA<\/a> last week, Hull has now thrown her support behind US President-elect Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Englishwoman Hull is currently competing in the CME Group Tour Championship, where she is five-under through two rounds.<\/p>\n

That leaves her tied for ninth, and she\u2019ll head into Saturday\u2019s third round five shots off leader Angel Yin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But it was after her opening 73 at Tiburon Golf Club that Hull made some eye-catching comments about Trump\u2019s recent election win. Asked about the apparent \u2018Trump dance\u2019 she performed on the fairway on her way to a second-place finish at The ANNIKA, the 28-year-old pulled no punches with her answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Trump. I think he\u2019s brilliant,\u201d she replied, seemingly confirming the jig was a show of public backing. \u201cI like how he just says things, he doesn\u2019t care what people think and he\u2019s straight to the point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hull wasn\u2019t done there though, then taking a shot at the current British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer<\/a>. \u201cI wish he (Trump) was head of the UK,\u201d she continued. \u201cI just like him as a person. He\u2019s a little better than our Prime Minister.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It isn\u2019t the first time that Hull has voiced her admiration for one of the world\u2019s most divisive characters. The world No.11 has previously spoken of her love for the Turnberry course in Scotland that Trump owns, and this year expressed her disappointment the venue was overlooked for the AIG Women\u2019s Open that took place at St Andrew\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Previously asked if she would like to play a round with the 78-year-old, whose previous playing partners have included icons like Tiger Woods<\/a> and Rory McIlroy<\/a>, Hull didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cThat would be cool. I think he\u2019s a legend,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But she\u2019s hardly the only high-profile golfer to have backed the MAGA movement. In the build-up to the election, two-time US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> hosted Trump on his YouTube Channel and even joined him on stage during his victory speech<\/a> after he defeated Kamala Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McIlroy has also implied that Trump\u2019s return to power could pave the way for long-awaited merger<\/a> between LIV Golf<\/a> and the PGA Tour<\/a>. American Ryder Cup star Sam Burns responded to the election win with a social media picture of himself wearing a \u2018Make America Great Again\u2019 cap, adding the caption: \u201cDeer hunting is great again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has never made any secret of his love of golf, despite accusations he\u2019s made false claims about his ability and actual handicap. He even challenged current US President Joe Biden<\/a> to a round this year during a live television debate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
