Who is Charley Hull’s Caddie? LPGA Tour Star’s Bagman Explored

Since the start of her career on the LPGA Tour in 2015, Charley Hull has had many struggles to deal with. Whether it be missing the majors with close calls or her everyday struggle with ADHD, But there has been constant support for Hull on the greens. Who might that be? It’s surely his long-time caddie, Adam Woodward.

The 2-time LPGA Tour winner employed her caddie in 2015. The veteran caddie brings a ton of experience and expertise to Hull’s game, which helps him move up the leaderboard. Who is he, and how did he start his journey as a caddie?

How did Charley Hull’s caddie learn about golf?

Adam Woodward comes from Cowra, Australia. There, he narrated to The PLTCA that his father was a manager at one golf course, and from then on, he was intrigued by the game. Then, in 1995, his family’s close friend and Cowra-based golfer, Mardi Lunn, offered Woodward a chance to caddie for her as she made her way to the LPGA Tour.

20-year-old Woodward at the time took the chance as he was unhappy with his parents’s travel business. He decided to do the job only for a year. But fate had other plans for him! He was on Lunn’s bag for six years and also caddied on the Seniors and Nationwide Tours. He loved caddying so much and got one opportunity after another, and he has now been caddying for almost 3 decades. Adam Woodward’s breakthrough, however, came when he caddied for Sun Youn Yoo.

In 2012, Yoo went on to win the Kraft Nabsico Championship, and that is the only major victory Woodward has assisted in for any golfer in his long career. Although he has had many successful events in many places around the world with Hull, something that Woodward enjoys about his work. With Woodward, Hull has won five events (2 on the LET, 2 on the LPGA Tour, and one in 2020 at the Rose Ladies Series—Event 1).

Adam Woodward also talked about what he likes about his job. The travel that comes with the job and the buzz and adrenaline rush of winning the tournament are his favorite parts. “Caddying has been a great job and taken us to many wonderful places around the world. As well as all over Asia trying amazing foods. The feeling of contending and if you’re lucky enough winning a tournament is such a buzz, and gets the adrenaline going! This is one of the biggest reasons I think that brings us back year after year,” said the bagman.

Woodward has been with Hull for nine years, and the duo seem to share a very fun relationship with each other.

The duo’s fun relationship was the center of attention at the 2023 Solheim Cup. Hull carded a birdie, and Woodward went for a fist bump. However, Hull was so involved in other things that she left him hanging.

Charley Hull has always been candid about things, including her mental health struggles with ADHD. Coping with it on the course can be hard, and it seems that her “best friend” helps her through it. The LPGA Tour pro once mentioned, “He helps to keep me calm and really knows his stuff.” Elaborating more on the kind of conversations she has with him, she explained, “He’s great for me; in between shots, we talk about normal stuff and not about golf.”

Will they emerge as the power duo to win the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship? Stay tuned to find out.
