Charley Hull didn't compete in the Mizuho Americas Open 2025, and as a result, her rankings dropped further. As per the latest update, she has slipped to one spot further in the Rolex Women's Golf Rankings.

As of May 12, Charley Hull was ranked 15th, which is her worst ranking since October. Earlier this year, she had entered the top 10, but she slipped out last month after missing the cut at the Chevron Championship.
