Who is Charley Hull’s caddie? Exploring the English golfer’s bagman

Charley Hull has been having a staggering run at Walton Heath Old Course in the AIG Women's Open 2023. She is accompanied by her long-time caddie Adam Woodward.

Woodward has been caddying on the LPGA Tour for the last 25 years. Back in 2015, he first caddied for the English golfer. However, it wasn't until 2017 that he regularly started caddying for Hull.

When did Adam Woodward start caddying?

Back in 1995, Adam Woodward got an opportunity to caddie for Australian professional golfer Mardi Lunn, who happened to be his family friend.

After caddying for Lunn for the next six years, he went on to be the bagman for several female golfers.

He was also Sun Youn Yoo's caddie for two years. And with her, Woodward won his first and only major as a caddie, the 2012 Kraft Nabisco Championship (now known as the Chevron Championship).

Later in 2015, he joined Charley Hull as a caddie. Adam Woodward has won four tournaments with Hull as her caddie. The first win came in the 2016 CME Group Tour Championship and the most recent came in the 2022 Volunteers of America Classic.

In an interview, Hull praised her caddie and, as per Golf Monthly, she said:

"He helps to keep me calm and really knows his stuff. He's been on the Tour for something like 25 years, and we started working together in 2015. He's great for me, in between shots, we talk about normal stuff and not about golf."
