Charley Hull has showed off the result of the freak ankle injury that forced her to pull out of an event earlier this month.
The English golfer withdrew from the PIF London Championship after tripping over a curb in the parking lot, as she said she heard her ankle pop and ‘nearly fainted’ in the immediate aftermath.
And after being sidelined by the injury, Hull has shared pictures to social media of herself in a walking boot.
On Monday, the 29-year-old posted a picture to her Instagram story wearing the ‘moon boot’ in a weight room.
She had previously posted another photo of the walking boot as she held a baby and posed for the camera.
‘Life lately = family, friends, puppy cuddles and a moon boot,’ she captioned that Instagram carousel post.

After missing the PIF London Championship, Hull said she was ‘devastated’ not to be competing.
She explained that she had a ‘skip in her step’ as she tried to make her way to practice before the freak injury occurred.
‘The security guard was watching me and I heard my ankle pop. I thought I broke it. Someone picked me up and put me in the car,’ she told reporters.
‘I went down so quickly, I nearly fainted. I was not sure if I was overreacting. I started moving my ankle and it’s nowhere near as bad as I thought.
‘I don’t do it on purpose, I’m naturally clumsy,’ she continued. ‘My sister is the clumsiest person I know, and I used to make fun of her for it.
‘I fell over in the middle of the road about two years ago. It runs in my dad’s genes.’
Hull also withdrew from the Evian Championship after collapsing twice in the first roun
The injury came after another unfortunate setback for Hull, who was forced to withdraw from the Evian Championship in July after collapsing twice on the course.
She had been battling a virus and was ultimately unable to continue as she was stretchered off during the first round of the tournament.
Hull followed up that disappointment by finishing tied for second in the AIG Women’s Open.
Hull also recently mourned the loss of her German Shepherd, Esmee.
The golfer had previously lost her German Shepherd, Bella, in 2023.
“Rest in peace, my beautiful baby girl Esmee. You was the best, so sad,’ Hull wrote as she shared a picture of the dogs on social media.
‘Now you’re back reunited with Bella, just like this picture. Have fun up there in doggy heaven.’
