Golf analyst responds to Lexi Thompson’s statement being “very sad” with LPGA’s current situation

Golf analyst James Colgan recently weighed in on Lexi Thompson’s disappointment over the LPGA’s decision to split tee times during the season-ending 2024 CME Group Tour Championship.

Thompson, who is retiring at the conclusion of the tournament, voiced her frustration on Instagram, expressing sadness that her final professional round started on the 10th hole, denying her the chance to finish in front of fans on the 18th green.

Colgan highlighted the controversy on social media, questioning whether the decision was driven by broadcast constraints or an attempt to feature top players simultaneously, inadvertently impacting Thompson’s farewell.

The 11-time LPGA winner ended her career with a tie for 49th place, but her legacy remains one of resilience and excellence in women’s golf.
