Charley Hull, a 30-year-old English golfer and three-time LPGA winner, is facing criticism after admitting she tricked her caddie Adam Woodward into thinking he had won £100,000 ($188,300 Cdn) on a fake lottery card. Hull purchased the novelty card from a joke shop in Blackpool, and when Woodward scratched it, he believed he had won the money and was "literally running around" saying he was taking the day off. However, Hull revealed the prank during a news conference ahead of the AIG Women's Open, adding that Woodward's face was "so happy" and he was sweating and trembling before they had to break the news to him that it was fake. The stunt has sparked online backlash, with many fans criticizing Hull for being insensitive and cruel. Hull later posted a video of the prank on social media, saying "Sorry Adam, looks like you're still on the bag this week!" but Woodward has not commented publicly.
