Charley Hull provides update following £10,000 bet to quit smoking

Charley Hull is one of the well-known English LPGA players. In recent months, she has gotten a lot of attention as a result of the initiative she took to quit her smoking habits. All of this began at the 2024 US Women's Open, where Hull was spotted signing autographs while smoking.

She then chose to quit this habit, and after almost two months, she just gave an update to her fans. Hull recently participated in an interview with Golfweek where she discussed this habit.

NUCLR Golf, an X (previously Twitter) page, reported her remarks in a post. The X page also added that she now uses a nicotine pouch. The caption for the post stated:

"#NEW: Charley Hull says she has not wavered on her promise to quit smoking and added that she now packs a lip instead..@CharleyLegion"

Charley Hull spoke about her habit and stated that quitting cigarettes has been the 'easiest thing' for her. She further added:

"I think it’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Yeah, it’s pretty, pretty, pretty easy. I’m a strong-minded person. Usually, when I put my head and my mind to something, I can do it.”

To help quit the habit of smoking, Charley Hull announced a £10,000 (roughly $13,000) bet with fellow golfer Ryan Evans in March 2025. This was a public bet in which Hull pledged to pay this amount if she smoked any cigarettes within the next two months.
