Charley Hull may be away from the action, but she is still in the headlines for her looks. She has stepped back from competition since tying for sixth at the AIG Women’s Open. The three-time LPGA Tour winner recently skipped both the Portland Classic and the ongoing CPKC Women’s Open. That doesn’t mean she’s disappeared from the face of the earth. Hull is pretty active on Instagram, where she keeps posting pictures, and her latest pictures have made former golfer and social media personality Paige Spiranac a fan.

The 30-year-old English woman hopped on Instagram hours ago and shared a bunch of pictures from a day out with friends. She is wearing a stylish blue Louis Vuitton top, white Louis Vuitton sweatpants, black glasses, and carrying a brown Louis Vuitton bag. She captioned the post, “Gone to the dark side 🤎.” Hull is lightheartedly referring to a change in her look: she usually wears bright colors but recently switched to a darker aesthetic.

Spiranac instantly became a fan of the look: “It looks so good 🔥🔥.” Both Spiranac and Hull captivate fans with their Instagram presence.

Before this look, Hull was in the news for another: recent photos of her in a blue swimsuit, prompting an immediate wave of reactions from her followers. While her posts draw praise, Hull’s absence from tournaments stems from physical recovery needs.

According to Women’s Golf Journal, the English star stepped back from competition to allow her body to recover after dealing with several physical setbacks that have disrupted both her training and fitness routine. A torn ankle ligament suffered in a fall, combined with back problems reportedly associated with spinal cysts, has restricted Hull’s gym work and made it more difficult for her to develop the power she needs on the course. 

With those issues still affecting her, the 30-year-old has had to manage her schedule carefully and avoid placing unnecessary strain on her body. The decision to take a breather also comes after a demanding season. Hull has made 13 starts, while missing four cuts and recording four top-four finishes.

Her most significant achievement came earlier in the campaign when she rose to No. 3 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, becoming the highest-ranked English female golfer in history. So, while Hull may have been away from the fairways recently, she certainly has not disappeared from the spotlight. 

Her latest Instagram post quickly drew praise from fans, who once again flooded the comments with compliments and admiration.
