Professional golfer Charley Hull is set to make her debut in the 2027 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, marking a significant crossover for the LPGA star. Hull, a three-time LPGA Tour winner, previously became the youngest player to represent Europe in the Solheim Cup at just 17 years old.
She achieved a career-high ranking of No. 3 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings in February 2026. Hull has also demonstrated a firm stance on public discourse, criticizing the intense backlash directed at actress Sydney Sweeney for a gambling advertisement, which Hull viewed as an overblown reaction to a model endorsing a company.

Additionally, there's a mention of "national anthem drama" and a critique of how some athletes and leagues engage in perceived virtue signaling.
