Charley Hull’s 2025 season has been anything but ordinary. From contending at majors to collapsing mid-round, the 28-year-old English golfer has weathered a chaotic stretch of setbacks and near-triumphs. Fans have watched her fight through pain, illness, and exhaustion, all while staying remarkably poised under pressure. Her powerful swing, gritty mindset, and refusal to withdraw from key events have made her a fan favorite. But behind the scenes, it’s been a season marked not just by leaderboard climbs, but also by trips to the physio table—and, most recently, a parking lot mishap that left her calling out for help.

Hull’s consistency this year has been hindered by a string of injuries and health scares. While she’s managed impressive finishes, including a tie for second at the AIG Women’s Open in August, it’s clear that she’s often played through pain. And just when it seemed things might settle, another unexpected incident struck, adding to what Hull herself described as “one thing after another.”

The latest scare occurred ahead of the 2025 PIF London Championship recently. Speaking to reporters, Hull recalled the shocking moment: “I fell over a curb in the car park and was lying on the floor shouting for my boyfriend to come get me,” she said. She had just left the locker room at Centurion Club when she tripped, twisted her ankle, and heard a pop. “I thought I broke it… I nearly fainted.” A security guard helped her into a car while she waited for the pain to subside.

Although she initially feared a fracture, Hull was relieved to find it was only a sprain. “It’s nowhere near as bad as I thought,” she shared her relief, adding that she would still tee it up that week despite missing two days of practice. “I’m just naturally clumsy,” she joked. European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjørn, watching nearby, teased, “Every time he sees me, I’m lying down somewhere.” While Hull managed to laugh it off, the episode was just the latest in a year full of disruptions.

A year of setbacks and survival for Hull

Hull’s 2025 campaign has played out like a highlight reel of resilience. From freak accidents to serious health concerns, she’s had to fight just to stay on the course. Her streak of unfortunate incidents began in early July, when she strained her back lifting a box out of her car. “My back’s been really playing up,” she admitted at the 2025 Evian Championship, where she was forced to alter her routines and cut practice short.

Then came perhaps the most alarming episode: during the first round of the Evian Championship on July 10, Hull collapsed twice on the course. She was carted off and withdrew from the event, later confirming she had been suffering from a viral illness. “I was ill and I hurt my back,” she explained weeks later. “It wasn’t ideal.” Undeterred, she returned at the 2025 Scottish Open just two weeks later, finishing T21 despite lingering pain. But it was at the 2025 AIG Women’s Open that she truly showed her mettle. Playing through back pain and lingering fatigue, Hull fired a final-round 69 to finish T2. “I didn’t think I would make the cut,” she confessed afterward, calling the result a personal victory.

Now, with an ankle sprain added to the list, Hull continues to push forward. Despite the chaos, she remains ranked inside the top 10 in the world. Her 2025 season might be a rollercoaster, but it’s one that proves Charley Hull is as tough as they come.
