Lexi Thompson Could Be Ending Major Career At AIG Women’s Open This Week
Lexi Thompson – one of the most iconic names of all time in women’s golf – is set for what could be her final appearance at a Major championship this week when the AIG Women’s Open takes place at St Andrews’ Old Course.
Thompson announced her plan to retirefrom a “full professional golf schedule” back in late May, 17 years on from her first appearance as a 12-year-old at the US Women’s Open.
Announcing her decision, the 29-year-old said: “While it is never easy to say goodbye, it is indeed time. At the end of 2024, I will be stepping away from a full professional golf schedule.
Yet, since then, the 2014 Chevron Championship winner has chiseled out an excellent sequence of results – with her best of the season arriving at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give in the form of a T2nd.
Two further top-10s followed, one of which arrived at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship where Thompson was leading at the end of Thursday’s opening round.
Thompson went on to state that she does not feel her improved form in 2024 is down to her retirement announcement.
She said: “I don’t think that has to do with announcing what I did. It’s just a matter of being comfortable out there, playing free-swing Lexi I guess. Just enjoying being out there every step of the way.”
And now, Thompson has the chance to not only improve on her best finish of eighth at a Women’s Open but also claim the ultimate retirement gift in the form of a second Major.
She will tee it up alongside the likes of Lilia Vu, Ashleigh Buhai, and Nelly Korda at St Andrews and could end up walking over the equally-iconic Swilcan Bridge for the final time as a pro come Sunday afternoon.
