Charley Hull tricks caddie with fake $100,000 lottery win at AIG Women’s Open
During media duties at the AIG Women’s Open, Charley Hull played a prank on her caddie Adam Woodward by giving him a bogus $100,000 scratch-card, prompting an excited but brief celebration.
At the AIG Women’s Open, English golfer Charley Hull decided to amuse herself and her long-time caddie Adam Woodward with a practical joke. After purchasing lottery tickets from a Blackpool novelty shop, she handed Woodward a $100,000 scratch-card in the players lounge at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Course. Convinced the ticket was a winner, Woodward stripped off his hat and glasses, sprinted around the lounge shouting about his fortune and even contemplated a day off.
Hull captured the moment on video, later posting it to her Instagram Story after it surfaced in a Sweet Spot Golf reel. Once the prank was revealed, Woodward’s excitement turned to bewilderment, though he laughed it off. Hull admitted she felt a pang of guilt and warned she might face retaliation. The incident unfolded as the tournament, celebrating its 50th anniversary with a $10 million prize pool, entered its final rounds.
