As English legends such as Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Luke Donald begin the descent of their careers, a new young crop of British talent is emerging on both the DP World and PGA Tours, with one of the most promising players being Cornwall's Harry Hall.

Known for his calm demeanour and trademark flat cap, Hall has forged a path from the English coast to the pinnacle of the sport via a solid amateur career that included playing collegiate golf at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and making the 2019 Walker Cup team.

Hall boasts a textbook swing that oozes rhythm and he complements that by being one of the best putters on the PGA Tour. With two Korn Ferry Tour victories under his belt, the Englishman demonstrated the talent required to take a step up, compete and win at the highest level.

At 28 years of age and having played for three years on the PGA Tour, Hall has transitioned from emerging talent to established competitor. His world-class putting has seen him climb leaderboards and put himself in contention numerous times, but it was actually a chip-in that sealed his maiden PGA Tour victory at the 2024 ISCO Championship. He outlasted Zac Blair, Pierceson Coody, Matthew NeSmith and Rico Hoey to win in a three-hole playoff, and his 2025 season has been a story of consistency.

However, the life of a professional golfer is just as much about the agonising near-misses as the victories. For Hall, the feeling of narrowly missing out on the 2025 Ryder Cup team is something that will no doubt spur him on to work harder and make the team come 2027 at Adare Manor. Despite a handful of top-ten finishes throughout the 2025 season, a second win has remained just out of reach, although Hall has shown his spectrum of talent through his 'strokes gained' statistics.
