English golfer Charley Hull has found herself at the center of attention after a video surfaced showing her indulging in a not-so-healthy habit during an autograph-signing session. The incident draws comparisons to golf legend John Daly, who is known for his unconventional lifestyle both on and off the course.
Hull, a prominent figure on the LPGA Tour and the Women’s European Tour, boasts an impressive record with six titles to her name. Despite her athletic achievements, her recent behavior during a pre-tournament autograph session caught the public’s eye.
In the viral video, Hull can be seen chain-smoking cigarettes while attending to fans, a sight that has sparked a mix of amusement and concern among golf enthusiasts. Many internet users likened her actions to those of John Daly, who is notorious for his love of cigars both on and off the golf course.
While Hull’s smoking habit may have garnered attention online, it also drew reactions from her fellow competitors at the US Women’s Open. Golfer Nelly Korda was among the first to come across the viral photo and couldn’t resist sharing it with Hull and Megan Khang, eliciting laughter from the group.
As Hull gears up to compete in the US Women’s Open, her off-course antics have raised eyebrows and sparked debate within the golfing community. Despite the controversy, fans eagerly await her performance on the course, where she aims to put last year’s second-place finish behind her and vie for the coveted championship title.
