Andy DevaneyEurope’s 15–13 victory at Bernardus gave Charley Hull a fourth Solheim Cup win. Her own week was uneven until a decisive singles performance against Megan Khang — with an intriguing TaylorMade set-up in the bag.
Charley Hull’s eighth Solheim Cup will not go down as her cleanest week on the scorecard. It did, however, end exactly where Europe needed it to: with Hull walking away from her singles match against Megan Khang as a 3-and-2 winner and the trophy heading back into European hands.
Europe beat the United States 15–13 at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, reclaiming the Solheim Cup after a contest in which Hull had spent the opening two days alongside Lottie Woad.
For those interested in the Charley Hull WITB 2026 set-up as much as the result, there was plenty to inspect. Hull had a Qi4D LS driver at the top of the bag, a split iron configuration involving the P·770 and P·7MB, and three MG5 wedges.
But the more interesting story is how the player carrying them finished a difficult week.
Four team matches that refused to go Hull’s way
Hull and Woad were paired throughout the first four sessions, but the partnership never quite found the result Europe would have wanted.
They were beaten in the opening foursomes before halving their fourballs match on day one. Day two brought two more defeats, one in foursomes and another in fourballs.
That left Hull heading into the final day without a full point from four matches.
A 0–3–1 start is not the sort of record anyone would choose, particularly for a player making an eighth appearance in the competition. But Solheim Cups have a habit of making the final session feel like a separate event altogether. Hull took advantage of the reset.
Against Khang, she won 3 and 2 to complete her week with a 1–3–1 record.
The overall figures remain mixed. The final contribution was anything but.
Eight Solheim Cups after making history at 17
Hull’s relationship with the Solheim Cup now stretches back more than a decade.
She made her debut in 2013 as the youngest player in the competition’s history and has since appeared eight times, winning the Cup on four occasions.
That longevity gives the Bernardus result another layer. Hull is no longer the teenage curiosity being introduced to team golf at its most intense. In February 2026 she reached a career-high world ranking of three, while her professional record now stands at nine titles, including three on the LPGA Tour and five on the LET.
The missing piece remains a major championship.
Hull has collected 13 top-10 finishes in the majors and finished runner-up five times: at the 2016 ANA Inspiration, the 2023 US Women’s Open, the 2023 Women’s British Open, the 2025 Women’s British Open and the 2026 US Women’s Open.
That is quite a collection of near misses. The Solheim Cup, at least, has proved rather more accommodating.
Charley Hull WITB 2026: the full Solheim Cup set-up
Hull’s bag at Bernardus combined a low-lofted driver with a mixed iron set and three specialist wedges:
- Ball: TP5x
- Driver: Qi4D LS 8.0°
- 3-wood: Stealth Plus 15.0°
- Rescue: Qi4D 17.0° 2-Rescue
- 4-iron: P·770
- 5-PW: P·7MB
- Wedges: MG5 48° SB, 54° SB, 60° LB
- Putter: TP Soto
The iron transition is one of the more interesting details. Rather than carrying P·7MB throughout the set, Hull uses a P·770 at four-iron before moving into the P·7MB from five-iron through pitching wedge.
There is similar specificity at the bottom of the bag, where the three MG5 wedges cover 48, 54 and 60 degrees, with the 60-degree club carrying the LB designation rather than the SB configuration used in the other two.
No sweeping conclusions about performance are required. For golfers interested in tour set-ups, the configuration itself is the useful part.
Inside Hull’s Qi4D LS driver build
Hull’s driver specification is particularly detailed.
She used an 8.0-degree Qi4D LS head at Bernardus, fitted with an 8g front weight and 13g back weight. The loft sleeve was set to 2 Toward Higher.
The complete specification was:
- Head: Qi4D LS 8.0°
- Front weight: 8g
- Back weight: 13g
- Loft sleeve: 2 Toward Higher
- Shaft: Attas 6Star 6X
- Length: 44½ inches EOG
- Grip: MCC Black/Black 60 RD
- Wraps: 1
It is the sort of build sheet that explains why tour-player WITB stories remain irresistible to equipment obsessives. The model name is only the beginning; weighting, sleeve position, shaft and playing length tell the more individual story.
A difficult week with the right final note
Hull did not dominate this Solheim Cup. Pretending otherwise would do the week a disservice.
Her four matches alongside Woad yielded only half a point, and a final 1–3–1 record hardly jumps off the page beside Europe’s 15–13 victory.
But team golf has never been particularly interested in tidy personal narratives.
Hull entered the decisive singles session still looking for her first win of the week and found it against Khang. Europe found enough elsewhere to reclaim the trophy.
Thirteen years after becoming the youngest player ever to appear in a Solheim Cup, Hull left her eighth with another European victory to her name — and, finally, a win of her own.
