Everyone’s got an addiction. How will Charley Hull manage to overcome hers? The fashionista is known for a number of things. On the course, her brilliant strokeplay and amazing style have won fans over. Off the course, are fashion sense, social adventures, and extreme health regime are what keep her followers going. But there is one thing that everyone has always been critical about, and that is one of her habits.

Whether she is on the course or out in the world, Hull has often been spotted enjoying a smoke in between her busy schedule. The pro golfer is also infamous for lighting up a stick between rounds. The Englishwoman has always been unapologetic about it, stating that smoking is the only vice that she can’t let go of. But now it seems that she has pledged to give up that as well.

In her latest Instagram story, Charley Hull was seen hitting a few golf balls at the Sunningdale Golf Club in Ascot, U.K. She was joined by DP World Tour pro, Ryan Evans. The caption vaguely read “Deal is a deal let’s see if I’m a woman of my word.” It’s not until you listen to the clip that you hear her saying, “Today, I’ve made a decision. I’m going to stop smoking. I’m going to give him 20 now (as she handed £20k to Evans) and I’m going to take 10 grand back if I don’t pick up a cigarette for the next two months. We’ll shake on that. Deal?” The two shook hands as Hull challenged herself to not smoke for two straight months.

Charley Hull asked to give up smoking

Charley Hull received a lot of heat for her addiction towards the end of 2024. Back then, she had interviewed with Jon “Stugotz” Weiner. That’s when fans were shocked to learn that Hull smokes “five cigarettes per round.” And hence, she was questioned about the same in October 2024 as well. Hull was invited to an interview at The Dan Le Batard Show. During one of the segments, the host asked her about her ‘John Daly-esque’ habit and how the fans reacted to it.

The public reaction truly seemed to have shocked the LPGA Tour star. She said “It was pretty mad really how it all kind of took off. I was just minding my own business, signing a few autographs. It actually got more… more publicity about it than shooting 67 in the U.S. Open,” as she recollected interacting with the fans while she still had a cigarette lit. The conversation has been dragged along into her comments section on her social media.
