‘They can lump it’: LPGA star defends controversial caddie prank, tells off critics

LPGA star Charley Hull defended a prank she played on her caddie, Adam Woodward, ahead of the 2026 AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes in England. Hull purchased fake scratch lottery tickets from a prank shop and tricked Woodward into believing he had won $100,000, with the incident caught on video. Following her strong opening round, Hull addressed criticism of the prank in her post-round press conference, calling it 'a joke' and telling critics they 'can lump it.'
