The English star is a multiple tour winner, so who is Charley Hull’s caddie?
After a glittering amateur career, Hull turned pro at the start of 2013 and lifted her first title a year later.
That came on the Ladies European Tour and in 2015, Hull teamed up with the caddie she still uses today.
Since then, the pair have earned wins on both sides of the Atlantic.
Here’s a bit more information about Hull’s looper…

The man on Hull’s bag is Australian Adam Woodward, who grew up in Cowra – a small town in New South Wales.
The 2024 Solheim Cup was the pair’s sixth match together, after Hull made her second start for Team Europe in 2015.
Woodward began caddying in 1995 when he started working with Mardi Lunn, a family friend of the caddie and professional golfer.
He was working with his parent’s travel business at the time but stepped aside to focus on carrying the bag for Lunn.
They spent six years together before Woodward joined forces with other female players, including Sun Youn Yoo.
Her win at the Kraft Nabsico Championship in 2012 remains the caddie’s only major championship success.
After turning to Hull, the pair have built a strong relationship, which Hull attributes much of her success on tour to.
“He [Woodward] helps to keep me calm and really knows his stuff,” Hull admits.

“He’s been on the Tour for something like 25 years, and he’s great for me. In between shots we talk about normal stuff and not about golf.”
It’s unclear why but during their time working together, Hull and Woodward split for about a year.
Speaking to the Professional Ladies Tour Caddies Association, Woodward said: “[My] original plan was to do one year [caddying].
“It has been a great job and taken us to many wonderful places around the world.
“Some interesting places I’ve travelled; Rio for the 2016 Olympics, South Africa to Sun City and being able to see all the animals, as well as all over Asia trying amazing foods.
“The feeling of contending and if you’re lucky enough winning a tournament is such a buzz and gets the adrenaline going. That’s one of the biggest reasons I think that brings us back year after year.”
Woodward insists his favourite venue is the Old Course at St Andrews, “particularly on a nice day when it’s not raining sideways.”
