1. Overview
Alexis Noel Thompson, widely known as Lexi Thompson, is an American professional golfer who competes on the LPGA Tour. Born on February 10, 1995, she quickly rose to prominence in the golf world, achieving significant milestones at a young age. In 2007, at just 12 years old, she became the youngest golfer ever to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open, a record later surpassed. Thompson turned professional in June 2010 at age 15. On September 18, 2011, at 16 years, seven months, and eight days old, she set a new record as the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA tournament by winning the Navistar LPGA Classic. Three months later, she became the second-youngest winner of a Ladies European Tour event by capturing the Dubai Ladies Masters. Her career reached a major highlight with her first and only major championship win at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, making her one of the youngest LPGA major winners at 19 years, one month, and 27 days. After a notable career spanning over a decade, Thompson announced her retirement from full-time professional golf at the end of the 2024 LPGA season.
2. Early Life and Background
Alexis Noel Thompson was born on February 10, 1995, in Coral Springs, Florida, United States. Golf runs in her family, as both of her older brothers, Nicholas and Curtis Thompson, are also professional golfers who have competed on the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA Tour. Lexi Thompson was homeschooled and completed her high school education in 2012.
3. Amateur Career
Thompson's amateur career was marked by numerous early achievements and record-breaking performances. In 2007, at the age of 12, she made history by becoming the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open, although she missed the cut in that tournament. This record was later surpassed in 2014 by Lucy Li. Also in 2007, she became the second-youngest winner in American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) history by winning the Aldila Junior Classic. She further solidified her reputation by winning the Westfield Junior PGA Championship, becoming the youngest winner in the history of that event.
In 2008, Thompson continued her success, winning the U.S. Girls' Junior championship. She qualified for the 2008 U.S. Women's Open again but missed the cut by two strokes. At 14 years old in 2009, she qualified for the 2009 U.S. Women's Open for the third time and made her first cut at the event, finishing tied for 34th. Later that year, she Monday-qualified for the Navistar LPGA Classic, where she shot a low 65 in the first round and finished tied for 27th. In 2010, while still an amateur, she competed in the Women's Australian Open, finishing T16, and made the cut at the 2010 Kraft Nabisco Championship, finishing T24. She also won the 2009 Verizon Junior Heritage after a sudden-death playoff. Thompson represented the United States in the 2010 Curtis Cup competition, going undefeated with four wins and one tie, contributing to the team's victory. She turned professional the following week, believing her game was ready for the LPGA Tour.
4. Professional Career
Lexi Thompson's professional golf career began in 2010 and has been characterized by early record-breaking wins, a major championship title, and consistent performance across various tours, including a historic appearance on the PGA Tour.
4.1. Early Professional Activities (2010-2011)
Thompson formally announced her decision to turn professional on June 16, 2010, at the age of 15. Following this pivotal step, she secured significant sponsorship deals with prominent brands such as Cobra-PUMA Golf and Red Bull.
Initially, without official LPGA Tour membership, Thompson largely relied on sponsor exemptions to gain entry into tournaments. Her professional debut under a sponsor's exemption came at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, where she missed the cut by four strokes. In July 2010, she qualified for the U.S. Women's Open and finished tied for 10th, earning her first professional prize money of 72.13 K USD. Two weeks later, at the Evian Masters, Thompson achieved an impressive tied-for-second finish, earning 242.71 K USD. After only three professional events, her total earnings amounted to 314.84 K USD, which would have placed her 18th on the official LPGA money list if she had been a member. Her strong performance at the Evian Masters significantly boosted her Women's World Golf Ranking by 75 places to number 74. She played three more LPGA Tour events in 2010, missing one cut and finishing T16 and T57 in the others.
4.1.1. LPGA Tour Participation and Membership Acquisition Process
In December 2010, Thompson petitioned the LPGA to allow her to play in up to 12 LPGA tournaments in 2011 using sponsor exemptions, exceeding the standard six allowed for non-members. While the petition for more exemptions was denied by Commissioner Mike Whan in January 2011, the LPGA rules were adjusted to permit non-members to participate in Monday qualifying rounds, offering Thompson additional opportunities to enter tournaments.
Beginning in October 2010, Thompson started competing in one-day events on the Fuzion Minor League Golf Tour, a developmental tour for men, where women played from tees adjusted to approximately 94% of the men's distance. In February 2011, she returned to women's tournaments, playing in the Women's Australian Open (missed cut) and the ANZ Ladies Masters (T42). On February 21, 2011, she secured her first professional victory on the Fuzion Tour, winning a one-round event at her home course in Coral Springs, Florida, after a two-hole playoff. She attempted to Monday-qualify for the LPGA Kia Classic in March but was unsuccessful.
Her first LPGA tournament in 2011, the Avnet LPGA Classic, was played via a sponsor's exemption. She was tied for the lead after three rounds but a challenging final round led to a T19 finish. She missed cuts at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, LPGA Championship, and U.S. Women's Open, and failed another Monday-qualifier for the State Farm Classic. At the Evian Masters, her fifth LPGA event of the year, she finished T36. Thompson continued to play on the Fuzion Tour throughout the spring and summer.
A significant breakthrough came in September when she won her first LPGA tournament, the Navistar LPGA Classic, by a five-stroke margin. At 16 years old, Thompson became the youngest winner ever on the LPGA Tour, breaking a record held by Marlene Hagge since 1952. This record stood for 11 months until Lydia Ko won the 2012 CN Canadian Women's Open at age 15. On December 17, 2011, Thompson secured her second professional win at the Dubai Ladies Masters, an event on the Ladies European Tour (LET), by four strokes. This victory made her the youngest professional winner on the LET at 16 years, 10 months, and 7 days.
To secure full LPGA Tour membership for 2012, Thompson successfully petitioned the LPGA for a waiver to the rule requiring members to be at least 18 years old, allowing her to enter the 2011 LPGA Qualifying School. She dominated Stage I of the Qualifying School in July 2011, winning by 10 strokes. After her historic win at the Navistar LPGA Classic, Thompson withdrew from the remaining stages of Qualifying School and again petitioned the LPGA for membership based on her victory. Her petition was approved on September 30, 2011, officially granting her full membership for the 2012 LPGA Tour season.
4.2. Official LPGA Tour Membership and Early Success (2012-2013)
As a full LPGA Tour member in 2012, Thompson continued to build on her success. In October 2013, she earned her second LPGA Tour victory at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia. This was followed by her third LPGA Tour win in November 2013 at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
4.3. First Major Championship Win (2014)
The year 2014 marked a significant milestone in Thompson's career as she earned her fourth LPGA Tour win and her first major championship title at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship. At the time of this victory, she became the second-youngest women's major winner, solidifying her status as a formidable competitor in professional golf.
4.4. Continued Strong Performance (2015-2016)
Thompson maintained a high level of performance in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. In 2015, she secured her fifth and sixth career LPGA Tour wins at the Meijer LPGA Classic and the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship, respectively. This was her most successful season in terms of earnings, accumulating 1.76 M USD, which placed her fifth on the money list for the year. In 2016, she added her seventh LPGA Tour win at the Honda LPGA Thailand. The same year, she achieved her first victory on the LPGA of Japan Tour at the World Ladies Championship Salonpas Cup. She also recorded her best finish at the Women's British Open, tying for eighth place at the Woburn Golf and Country Club.
4.5. Rules Controversy and Achievements (2017)
The 2017 season for Lexi Thompson was marked by both significant achievements and a highly publicized rules controversy. She started the season at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, where she shot an impressive 61 (-12) in the second round, though she ultimately lost to Brittany Lincicome in a playoff. She then secured her eighth LPGA Tour win at the Kingsmill Championship, finishing with a dominant (-20).
In April, during the 2017 ANA Inspiration, Thompson was assessed a four-stroke penalty while playing the 17th hole in the third round. The penalty was issued for incorrectly replacing her ball on the green, an infringement that was reported by a television viewer. This led to a two-stroke penalty for the incorrect placement and an additional two strokes for signing an incorrect scorecard after the round's completion. Despite this setback, she managed to enter a playoff, where she eventually lost to Ryu So-yeon.
Later in the season, on September 9, Thompson achieved her ninth LPGA Tour win at the Indy Women in Tech Championship. At the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, she narrowly missed a two-foot putt on the 18th hole, resulting in a loss to Ariya Jutanugarn. However, her consistent performance throughout the year allowed her to win the overall Race to the CME Globe title, securing a 1.00 M USD bonus.
4.6. Break and Return (2018)
In 2018, Lexi Thompson made a significant decision to withdraw from the Ricoh Women's British Open and take a month-long leave from the LPGA Tour. She publicly stated on Instagram, "I have not truly felt like myself for quite some time. I am therefore taking this time to recharge my mental batteries, and to focus on myself away from the game of professional golf."
Following her break, Thompson missed the cut in two tournaments. However, she made a strong return at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship on November 18, 2018. She secured a four-shot victory over Nelly Korda with an 18-under total. This win was her first in over a year and marked her tenth professional career victory, earning her 500.00 K USD.
4.7. Recent Career and PGA Tour Participation (2019-2023)
Thompson continued to compete on the LPGA Tour in recent years, demonstrating her enduring skill. In 2019, she achieved her best finish at the U.S. Women's Open at the Country Club of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, tying for second place. A week later, on June 9, she won the ShopRite LPGA Classic outside of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The 2020 season began with a tied-for-seventh finish at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions. In August, during the opening round of the 2020 AIG Women's Open, Thompson was involved in another rules incident. An official observed her moving a tuft of grass behind her ball with her club. However, it was later determined that her lie had not been improved as the grass returned to its original position, and she avoided a penalty. She ultimately missed the cut at the tournament.
In June 2021, Thompson held a five-stroke lead going into the final round of the 2021 U.S. Women's Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, California. However, a challenging back nine saw her shoot a five-over par 41, causing her to miss out on a playoff by just one stroke.
By June 19, 2022, after tying for fifth place at the Meijer LPGA Classic, Thompson moved to 10th on the all-time career money list on the LPGA Tour, having earned over 12.60 M USD in 230 events since becoming an LPGA member in 2012.
In October 2023, Thompson made history by becoming the seventh woman to compete in a PGA Tour event, playing in the Shriners Children's Open. She shot rounds of 73 and 69, ultimately missing the cut by two strokes.
5. Retirement
On May 28, 2024, Lexi Thompson, at the age of 29, officially announced her decision to retire from full-time professional golf at the conclusion of the 2024 LPGA season. This announcement came after 14 years as a professional golfer, a career that began with her becoming the youngest woman to win an LPGA tournament at age 16. Thompson indicated that she plans to continue playing in a small number of events going forward.
