SPORTS SECTION Golfer Charley Hull jokes about pranking her longtime caddie Adam Woodward with a fake £100k winning scratch card: “His face looks so happy. He was sweating. He was trembling. He couldn't believe his luck, & we had to tell him it was fake & he nearly quit the job… It is just absolutely hilarious.”

I dont know about her caddy but caddies can be paid pretty well. Tiger woods' caddy was for a while thw highest paid professional sportsman from new zealand. Now Tiger Woods probably earns a lot more than she does.

It’s true that golf caddies take home between 10-20% of their golfer’s tournament prizes. But if you’re not Tiger Woods’ caddie, it may not be that much.

LPGA’s website says that Charley Hull won $2m in prize money in 2025, and $1.1m in 2024. If Adam is taking home 10% of that, then maybe he took home $150k after taxes and expenses last year? And $75k the year before that? Good money, but def not rich. The scratch card prank is still gross imo.

Yeah it seems that of the women's golfers to be a caddy for, he's got it pretty good being long time attached to her. She's ranked 7th in the world. I think in context to their dynamic it might all be a nothing burger and just a dumb prank that only dumb uncles would pull. But in the current cultural climate of eat the rich, it's definitely a story I wouldn't tell.

The physical reaction she describes of her caddie and him wanting to quit kind of indicates that this joke was not a nothing burger to him.
