Charley Hull’s Amundi Evian Championship run ends in heartbreak as she is taken off course due to illness: Reports

Charley Hull withdrew from the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship on Thursday after experiencing a medical issue during the opening round at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France. The 29-year-old English golfer completed just three holes before receiving on-course medical attention and exiting the tournament.

Hull was seen sitting near a bunker on the third hole, visibly unwell. According to the tournament broadcast, she was suffering from a suspected virus. Upon reaching the tee at the fourth hole, Charley Hull reportedly collapsed twice. The medical staff was called, and play was paused for 15 minutes as she received treatment.

Hull attempted to continue and even tried to take her tee shot on the fourth hole. However, after collapsing again, she decided to withdraw from the championship. She was transported from the course by a medical cart.

Charley Hull's withdrawal brings an early end to what had been a strong stretch in recent major tournaments. Hull entered the Evian Championship following consecutive T-12 finishes at the U.S. Women’s Open and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She also recorded a third-place finish at the Evian in 2022. Ranked No. 19 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, Hull had been one of the notable contenders in the field.
