Comedian calls LPGA icon Charley Hull the 'Hot John Daly'; gives multiple new nicknames
American comedian Theo Von got creative with some nicknames for LPGA sensation Charley Hull during a recent appearance on a podcast with JD Vance. The duo opened up about their favorite golfers.
Theo Von brought up Brooks Koepka and soon, their conversation shifted to English golfer Charley Hull. Von joked that he liked golfers who smoke while playing.
"I like that girl that smokes and plays, dude," he said.
However, he stumbled over her name and gave her a nickname.
"Puffer McGavin or whatever her name is," he added.
Meanwhile, Vance said:
"I have eyes only for one woman, Theo. I've got only my wife."
But Theo continued, stating that he liked Hull and gave her another nickname, comparing her to veteran golfer John Daly.
"She’s like Hot John Daly," he added.
Charley Hull grabbed attention this year for her smoking habit on the greens. The English golfer was spotted with a half-smoked cigarette at the U.S. Women's Open while signing autographs for fans. Since then, she has been seen smoking a couple of times during LPGA Tour events and the practice round of the Solheim Cup.
The 28-year-old opened up about her smoking habit, explaining that she usually does it when she's "stressed." Speaking about her smoking habits, Hull said (via Bunkered):
"My dad has smoked 40 a day since he was 12 years old and now he’s 75, and my nephew smokes who is like 25. My whole family smokes, so it’s not something that I’ve noticed being odd.
she continued.
"[But] I hate smoking. I used to curse at my dad when I was younger for smoking, but I think it’s to do a little bit when I’m stressed. I was a bit stressed last year and I just kind of vaped, and I wanted to stop vaping, and even though smoking is not better than vaping, it’s just you can vape indoors all the time."
She added:
"I thought, if I smoke, I’m going to go outside and smoke a cigarette. When it’s a slow round on the golf course, I smoke quite a few more than I should. But listen, I will stop soon. It’s just when."
Meanwhile, Charley Hull has also been impressive with her game this season, recording four top-10 finishes.
Smoking Buddies? When John Daly joked about taking Charley Hull out
Charley Hull has made it onto the list of favorite players of several renowned personalities this year. In an interview with Outkick's Mike Gunzelman, two-time major winner John Daly, who currently plays on the Champions Tour, spoke about Hull.
Daly, who is well known for frequently smoking on the course, has often been compared to the LPGA Tour pro due to her similar habit. Speaking of Hull, Daly said:
“She might be my daughter, but if she ain’t I’d love to take her out.”
Reportedly, Charley Hull is currently single and enjoying her time on the course. She was previously married to Ozzie Smith, but the couple divorced in 2021.
