Charley Hull sends golf fans wild with hilarious hair colour prank

Charley Hull has done it again — and golf fans can’t get enough.

The 29-year-old LPGA star sent social media into meltdown on Tuesday after seemingly unveiling a brand-new look, posting a selfie with dark blonde hair that had everyone doing a double take.

But a few hours later, the Englishwoman came clean. 

“Only joking — still blonde,” Hull confessed in her Instagram Story, confirming that her signature light locks are here to stay.

It turns out Hull had used a hair colour app to fool her followers — and it worked a treat.

Déjà Vu?

If this feels familiar, that’s because Hull’s pulled this stunt before. 

Exactly a year ago, she pranked fans ahead of her winter getaway by posting a photo in a jet-black wig, captioned: “I’m defo a blonde.”

Safe to say, Hull’s fans are now on high alert whenever she posts a new look selfie.

Hull Eyes Strong Finish To 2025 LPGA Season

Hull’s playful antics come fresh off the back of a strong showing at the International Crown, where she helped the World team secure third place alongside Lydia Ko, Wei-Ling Hsu, and Brooke Henderson.

Australia ultimately took the title, but Hull’s form was one of the week’s talking points — and she now returns home for a short break before the closing stretch of the LPGA season.

Her next stop? The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican (13–16 November), where she’ll look to go one better than last year’s runner-up finish behind Nelly Korda.

That event will also see Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, make her surprise LPGA debut after receiving a shock invite earlier today.

Hull will then wrap up her LPGA season at the CME Group Tour Championship (20–23 November) at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples — a venue that holds a special place in her heart. It’s where she captured her maiden LPGA title back in 2016.

After that, Hull’s final tournament of the season will come at the team Grant Thornton Invitational from 12 to 14 December, which also takes place at Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort. Hull has been paired with PGA Tour pro Daniel Berger. 

Currently sitting 14th in the Race to CME Globe Rankings, Hull remains well in contention for a big finish. World No.1 Jeeno Thitikul leads the standings after two wins this year — though it was Hull who snatched victory from her grasp at the Kruger Queen City Championship in September.

That triumph marked Hull’s third career LPGA title and first in nearly three years, catapulting her to a career-best World No.5 — the highest ever achieved by an English player since the Rolex Rankings began in 2006.

From Darts on the Fairways to Dinner at Windsor Castle

Hull’s rise to stardom hasn’t just been about golf — her charisma and unapologetic personality have made her a fan favourite around the world.

Her fame rocketed two years ago when she was spotted puffing on a dart between shots, admitting that smoking helped her relax during slow play. She’s since ditched the cigarettes, but not the swagger — and her popularity has only grown.

So much so, in fact, that she recently found herself trading spikes for stilettos at a State Banquet hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle, held in honour of President Trump.

Hull was among a select few sporting guests invited — including Sir Nick Faldo — and couldn’t resist chatting golf when she got her moment with the former US President.

Trump, a known golf obsessive, reportedly invited her for a round — and Hull later shared snaps from her visit to Trump’s new course in Aberdeen, where she couldn’t resist showing off a few silky swings for her followers.

She’s never been shy about her admiration for Trump either — famously breaking into a Trump Dance on the fairway at The Annika last year and once joking he should be made “head of the UK.”

2026: The Year Hull Finally Wins a Major?

Despite another impressive season — including three top-10s in 13 starts — Hull is still chasing that elusive first major title.

Her best chance came at this year’s AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl, where she finished runner-up for the second time in three years, agonisingly close to lifting the trophy on home soil.

Golf legend Dame Laura Davies told GolfMagic in an exclusive interview last month that it’s only a matter of time before Hull gets her major breakthrough.

“There’s no question she’ll win one soon,” said Davies. “Charley’s got the game, the power, and the personality — she just needs the week when it all clicks.”

Given Hull’s trajectory, the 2026 season could well provide the week. 

Whether she’s trolling fans with fake hair colour, lighting up leaderboards, or turning heads at royal banquets, Hull is doing what she does best — keeping the golf world entertained.

She’s fearless, funny, and fantastically talented — the perfect mix of flair and grit that modern golf needs.

And if her form continues into next season, don’t be surprised if we’re writing about Hull’s first major title this time next year — still blonde, of course.
