Can she do it?

The LPGA star is putting $10,000 on the line to kick her cigarette habit.

Charley Hull is no stranger to making headlines. Whether it’s her fiery play on the course or her unfiltered personality off it, the English star has become a fan favorite on the LPGA Tour. But one habit of hers has drawn almost as much attention as her golf game: smoking.

Now, Hull is making a bold move to quit—and she’s putting her money where her mouth is (literally).

The Backstory: Smoking on the Range

Hull’s smoking habit first caught the golf world’s attention at last year’s U.S. Women’s Open. A video of her lighting up a cigarette on the range while signing autographs for fans went viral, and the internet had a field day.

“It’s actually quite funny. All over a cigarette, I suppose,” Hull said at the time.

Her explanation for the habit was equally memorable. “I was a bit stressed last year and I just kind of vaped,” she explained. “And I wanted to stop vaping, so I thought if I smoke, I’m going to go outside and smoke a cigarette.”

Classic Charley.

The Bet: $10,000 on the Line

Fast forward to this week, and Hull is ready to kick the habit for good. In a video posted to Instagram, she announced a $10,000 bet with fellow English pro Ryan Evans.

“Right. Today, I’ve made the decision I’m going to stop smoking,” Hull said in the video, handing over a pack of cigarettes to Evans. “I’m going to do a 10-grand bet with you—if I pick up a cigarette in the next two months, I’ll give you 10 grand. Deal?”

Evans agreed, and the bet was sealed with a handshake. If Hull smokes even one cigarette in the next two months, she owes Evans $10,000 (or £10,000, given their British roots). If she succeeds? She gets nothing—except, you know, better health.

The Motivation: A Hot Start to 2025

Hull’s decision to quit comes on the heels of a strong start to her 2025 season. In two events, she’s finished T19 and T4, proving that her game is as sharp as ever.

But let’s be real: quitting smoking isn’t easy, especially for someone as competitive as Hull. The $10,000 bet is a clever way to hold herself accountable, and it’s already generating buzz among fans.

What’s Next?

If Hull can kick the habit, it’ll be a win-win: better health and a cleaner image. But if she slips up, it’ll cost her—big time. Either way, one thing’s for sure: Charley Hull knows how to keep things interesting.

Here’s hoping her game stays as sharp as her wit—and that she pockets that $10,000 instead of handing it over.
