GOOD NEWS: Lexi Thompson has revealed the date of her wedding.

Lexi Thompson, a prominent personality in women’s golf, declared that she would end her full-time competitive career at the end of the 2024 LPGA season. During a press conference at Lancaster Country Club, where she is competing in the U.S. Women’s Open for the eighteenth consecutive year, the 29-year-old golfer—who became pro at the age of fifteen—made poignant statements regarding her professional journey.

Thompson felt a mixture of pleasure and thankfulness as she reflected on her early career. She made it clear that, despite the incredible experience, she is ready to move on from the game of golf and that it has been her life since she was five years old. She emphasised the mental and physical toll that professional athletes take on top of the sometimes-overlooked difficulties like the strain of continuous travel and intense training.

During her career, Thompson accomplished several noteworthy firsts, like as her first major triumph (2014) and her youngest LPGA event victory at age sixteen, the 2014 Kraft Nabisco title. She has experienced some near-misses and disappointments despite her successes, including blowing leads in important games and getting a contentious penalty in the 2017 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Thompson decided to retire gradually. She felt that the time and place were ideal, and she had been thinking about moving away for a few months. She has declared that even after quitting her full-time job, she will still occasionally attend events. In the future, she hopes to grow the Lexi Fitness app, try out new interests like working out, and spend more time with her loved ones.

Thompson is concentrating on her short-term objectives as she gets ready for the next phase of her life, which might involve making the U.S. Solheim Cup roster for the sixth time. Even after she quits full-time competition, she has stated that she wants to keep improving the game and encouraging the next generation of golfers.​

Professional golfer Lexi Thompson, 29, just declared her full-time retirement and shared some goals for the future. Thompson has spent her entire life playing golf, so she is eager to take up other hobbies and spend more time with her loved ones. Her immediate objectives include restoring her physical and mental health, which she acknowledged had been harmed by the demands of competing in professional sports.
