New year, new look for Charley Hull!?

The box-office Englishwoman has commanded so much attention on the course in 2024.

Near misses in America, a first victory in two seasons in Saudi Arabia and thumping world No.1 Nelly Korda on Solheim Cup Sunday were among the highlights for Hull in another whirlwind year.

But while her fast, aggressive game has long entertained golf fans and made her one of the LPGA’s true superstars, her popularity has also sky-rocketed away from the fairways this year.

In part, it is because Hull has smoked her way around the circuit – endearing herself as the ‘people’s champion’ to many golf fans Stateside.

There is now a fervent interest around Hull that goes beyond her scorecards, proven by the fact she has over 700,000 followers on Instagram. It is where Hull showcases life away from the course, and now the LPGA season is over, fans can keep up to date with what the 28-year-old gets up to in the off-season.

And on Sunday, her army of followers were in for quite a surprise as she showed off a drastic new look on her Instagram story.

Hull posed in a photo with jet black hair – quite the contrast from her signature blonde look.

But with the caption, “I’m defo a blonde”, we can only guess that Hull may well be wearing a wig and this won’t be a permanent look heading into 2025!

Hull, of course, is rarely out of the headlines.

At the season-ending CME Championship in Florida last week, she claimed that Donald Trump is a better leader than Keir Starmer and said she wished he was Prime Minister.

“I love Trump. I think he’s brilliant,” she said. “I like how he just says things, he doesn’t care what people think and he’s straight to the point.

“I wish he was head of the UK. I just like him as a person. He’s a little better than our Prime Minister.”
