As the LPGA Tour 2024 gathers momentum, Charley Hull has also made a return on the greens, showcasing her resilience after facing health and mental struggles during the off-season. Hospitalized during the holiday season last December, Charley navigated the hurdles with determination.

Now, back in form and ready to compete in the first LPGA event of the year at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, her journey reflects the fortitude required in professional golf. Joining the ranks of golfers, the 27-year-old’s comeback adds a compelling narrative to the unfolding story of the LPGA Tour, emphasizing the triumph over adversity in the pursuit of sporting excellence.

Charley Hull shares about her recent health struggles

The 2022 Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America is no stranger to health struggles. Last July, the English golfer disclosed her diagnosis of “severe” attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). And after a four-week hiatus due to mental struggles, Hull made an impressive return, tying for second place at the US Women’s Open. Once again, the English National has given a health update after a recent string of health hiccups.

Today, the two-time LPGA Tour winner with @hopebarnett shared her recent offseason challenges through an Instagram post, spanning about “five weeks.” Returning from Grant Thornton, she battled “COVID for ten days” and “then I was in hospital from basically Sunday to Tuesday this week and found out I had Salmonella food poisoning” and underwent “antibiotic treatment.”
