Charley Hull, the English golf sensation, has been showcasing remarkable growth in her game, consistently finishing at the top end of leaderboards despite not clinching titles this season. While her success on the LPGA Tour may be limited, Hull’s off-field journey of self-improvement has been nothing short of inspiring.
Hull, a two-time LPGA Tour winner, has been going to great lengths to become the best version of herself. This has not gone unnoticed among her fans, who are inspired by her unwavering commitment to fitness and personal growth. However, every athlete needs a break, and Hull is no exception. The English golfer enjoys her downtime by indulging in gourmet meals, visiting chocolate factories, and exploring breathtaking locations.
In an interesting twist, we’ve seen glimpses of a mystery man in Hull’s life, who she credits for pampering her amidst her grueling self-improvement regime. While Hull has been careful to keep his identity under wraps, her latest Instagram post, where she shares a kiss with her partner, whose face is concealed with a heart emoji, has been met with widespread fan excitement.
But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Hull’s personal journey is her battle with smoking. Contrary to what some might think, Hull has not increased her smoking habits, but rather, completely let go of them. As part of a two-month challenge with Ryan Evans, Hull has bet a whopping $12,930 (as per current exchange rates) on her ability to quit smoking. The stakes are high – if Hull loses, she stands to lose nearly $13,000. And before you ask, no, she has no plans to replace smoking with vaping, as she clarified in one of her posts.
In a recent Instagram story, Hull shared a photo of herself flashing the peace sign, captioned “1 hole (whole) week with out smoking and don’t miss it one bit and had no cravings. Only thing is just a loss off appetite.” It appears that the only side-effect of quitting smoking has been a suppressed appetite. Despite it being just a week, Hull’s accomplishment is commendable, and every small victory in such a challenging journey should be celebrated.
Hull’s tenacity is well-known, and she has never shied away from a challenge, especially when it means improving her health and wellbeing. But her battle with smoking isn’t the only challenge she’s taken on recently.
Hull has set herself a personal goal, separate from public scrutiny – to be able to run 5 km or 3.1 miles within 20 minutes. Earlier this year, she disclosed this ambition to her Instagram followers and has been consistently sharing her progress. On the morning of the 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship, Hull made headlines when she made a valiant attempt to beat the clock before starting her tournament. Even with an intense morning routine, she was still 6 minutes shy of her goal. Her most recent posts indicate that she’s sticking to her fitness plan, with a 40-minute run in preparation for the upcoming LPGA Tour event.
As Hull prepares for the Ford Championship 2025, her relentless pursuit of personal growth could make her a favorite in the tournament. Given her ongoing battles and victories off the field, one can’t help but root for this determined golfer.
