Charley Hull believes that Michael Brennan has the talent to be the world number one in the future, as she explained why she rates the American so highly.

Brennan is one of a number of extremely bright prospects making their way on the PGA Tour right now. The 26-year-old has already won three times, with his maiden victory last year enabling him to skip the Korn Ferry Tour and become a member at the game’s top table.

If you had to pick now, would you rather have Justin Rose or Eugenio Chacarra on your Ryder Cup team?

Most recently, Brennan won the Baycurrent Classic in Japan. He is certainly going to be one name to watch out for in 2027, particularly with a Ryder Cup on the horizon.

Interestingly, Charley Hull believes that Brennan is destined for the very top of the game.

Charley Hull backs Michael Brennan to become world number one

Right now, it is hard to imagine anyone being able to catch Scottie Scheffler at the top of the world rankings, with the 30-year-old proving to be the game’s most dominant player since Tiger Woods.

But speaking to Golfweek, Hull suggested that it seems inevitable to her that Brennan will win one of the game’s four biggest events.

“I was meant to be partners with Michael Brennan this year again in the Grant Thornton, but I can’t because I’m a bridesmaid at my best friend’s wedding, Georgia Hall, who plays on tour. I was pretty p—-d off with Georgia for not picking another date. Michael’s having a great season. If I could play with anyone on the PGA Tour, it would be Michael because he is one of the most impressive golfers I’ve ever seen and he’s going to be a major winner,” she said.

Why Charley Hull was so impressed by Michael Brennan after they played in the same event

Jacob Bridgeman claimed Brennan has the best swing on the PGA Tour after he had won at Yokohama Golf Club earlier this month.

But it was Brennan’s personality that made a big impression on Hull last year, when they teamed up for the Grant Thornton Invitational.

“I was meant to play with Daniel Berger last year and then he pulled out. Michael was first reserve. He’s such a nice guy. I had my niece out there with me and he couldn’t have treated her any better. I think he’s great for the game of golf. So, yeah, I see him definitely being a future world number one. Yeah, that’s how high I rate him, his golf game,” she added.

Brennan certainly has the tools to thrive in the current game. He is third on tour for both strokes gained off the tee and driving distance during the 2026 season.

He is also inside the top 75 for approach play and putting. The next challenge for Brennan will be winning one of the elevated events and contending in the majors.

He made the cut at all four majors in 2026 without finishing inside the top-20. Hull is clearly confident that it will not be too long before Brennan is in the mix to win on the biggest stages.
