England’s Charley Hull is, without a doubt, one of the most stylish stars on the LPGA Tour. The golfer always flaunts a chic and cool presence on the golf course, especially by donning iconic visors on her head.

In her latest Instagram post, however, the good-old visor was nowhere to be seen! Instead, Hull donned a cap from Taylormade. “Goodbye visors. Hello caps,” she wrote in the caption. The Solheim Cup has been an ambassador for the sports equipment company, which also represents the likes of Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler, and Nelly Korda, since mid-2019.

Hull’s fans mourned the lack of a visor in her comments. After all, the unique accessory has been a thing in golf for decades. The likes of Arnold Palmer, Sandy Lyle, and Larry Mize brought it into the mainstream. The trendy cap also became famed golfer Fred Couples’ trademark in the 1990s!

Hull’s Instagram post has drawn varied reactions from fans, with most asking the golfer to bring back the visor. “No!!!! It’s tradition! Ha!!” read one comment. “Noooooooooooooooooo – team visor all the way,” commented another.

For some, the cap was a big no-no, with one commenting, “I’ll have the visors.” Meanwhile, one Instagram follower opined that Taylormade should design a custom visor just for the World No. 20, saying, “Get them to make you some visors!! That’s your look!

Others were kinder to the 27-year-old’s new look, as one noted, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a cap or visor you are beautiful in either.” “Certainly a new look for you!” praised another fan. “Looks completely better on you,” wrote one Instagram user.

Earlier this month, Hull, along with World No. 9 Georgia Hall, had withdrew from playing for Team England at the 2023 Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown, coming under significant scrutiny for the same. Hull had cited poor health as the reason behind her abrupt decision. Now fans eagerly await her return, where she’ll have a whole new look!
