LPGA Star, Charley Hull, Makes $10,000 Smoking Bet
@Source: newsweek.com
Despite being one of today's top players, Charley Hull has been making more headlines lately for her smoking habit than for her impressive results in professional golf. The issue has generated some fascination among fans, giving Hull something of a "John Daly" aura.However, the 28-year-old has decided to put an end to this phase of her life and has chosen a rather risky way to do it. Nothing less than a $10,000 bet that she will not smoke a cigarette for the next two months.Hull didn't just make the bet, she filmed the moment and posted it to her official Instagram account, which has over 728,000 followers.The two-time LPGA Tour winner went even further and posted the video to her Stories, adding that she was proving to herself that she was a woman of her word."Deal is a deal," Hull posted on her Instagram Stories. "Let's see if I'm a woman of my word."Hull's opponent in the wager is fellow professional Ryan Evans, who plays primarily on the European circuits. Evans and Hull were sharing a practice round at the fabulous Sunningdale Golf Club at the time.It was not clear from the video what Hull will receive if she completes the two months without smoking, although she assured that there will be no money for her as a result of the bet. Evans joked that he would be following Hull's progress "24 hours a day.Charley Hull started being seen smoking on the golf course in the middle of last season. At the time, she said it was an attempt to kill her vaping habit."I was a bit stressed last year and I just kind of vaped," Hull said last June, according to Golf.com. "And I wanted to stop vaping, and even though smoking is not better than vaping, it's just you can vape indoors all the time. I thought if I smoke, I'm going to go outside and smoke a cigarette."The sight of Charley Hull smoking at tournaments has brought back memories of John Daly for many fans, and it's not a coincidence. After all, the two-time major champion became an icon for many due to his extraordinary results despite his carefree approach to his health, including smoking like a chimney.Hull and Daly also often share an unapologetic style of expressing their opinions and interacting with fans and the press.But, despite the smoking habit she is trying to get rid of, the LPGA Tour star is a model of fitness in professional golf, something Daly can never be accused of.More Golf: Rory McIlroy's PLAYERS Championship Has Fans Vibing on St. Patrick's Day
