‘Thank Goodness’: Retired Lexi Thompson Kicks in New Roles Alone Amid Christmas Rush

Lexi Thompson, one of the youngest and most celebrated LPGA players, has embraced retirement after a remarkable career featuring 11 LPGA titles, including a major championship. Citing mental health as a key factor, Thompson stepped back from full-time professional golf in 2024, marking a significant shift in her life.

Since her departure, she has been exploring personal hobbies, traveling, and sharing glimpses of her festive season with fans on social media. From baking Christmas treats in a humorously themed apron to cruising with her dog, Leo, Thompson appears to be relishing her new chapter.

While she hasn’t ruled out a part-time return to golf, she’s focused on reclaiming mental clarity and enjoying life beyond the greens. Fans remain hopeful but understanding of her need to prioritize herself.
