In a moment that has left the golf world in stunned silence, beloved British golf star Charley Hull has revealed devastating news about her health — a revelation that no one saw coming.
At just 29, Hull had become a symbol of strength and resilience on the course. With her fearless drives and fiery competitiveness, she captured hearts around the world. But behind the scenes, Charley was hiding a painful secret: she has been battling a rare and aggressive autoimmune disease that doctors now say may end her professional golf career far sooner than anyone expected.
Fighting back tears in an emotional press conference, Hull shared, “I’ve spent my whole life on the green. But lately… it’s been a fight just to walk 18 holes.”
Her voice broke as she thanked her fans, saying, “You gave me strength when my body couldn’t.”
Hull’s team confirmed she had been quietly undergoing treatment for months, determined to keep competing while managing pain and fatigue. But after collapsing during a private training session last week, doctors warned continuing could cause permanent damage — even paralysis.
Her fate? A possible early retirement.
“I’m not giving up,” she said. “But I may need to step away… not because I want to, but because I have to.”
The golfing world is in mourning — not from death, but the tragic dimming of a bright, young star whose career was only just beginning to peak.
Social media has erupted with support, with fans and fellow players calling her “a warrior,” “an inspiration,” and “a legend who gave us everything.”
Whatever comes next, Charley Hull’s legacy is already etched in the heart of the game.
She may be leaving the fairway — but she’ll never leave our hearts.
