Lexi Thompson keeps her options open for next year despite announcing retirement (Image via IMAGN)
In a shocking move earlier this year, Lexi Thompson, an LPGA Tour standout, said she was going to retire after the conclusion of the season. She's in the field for the CME Group Tour Championship, which is the final event of 2024. That makes it, in all likelihood, the last event for Thompson before retirement.
The 29-year-old has maintained throughout the year that retirement is next for her. Thompson hasn't gone back on her decision yet, but she did say might play some in the future despite not being an active player.
Thompson said (via Golf Monthly):
“Like I said before when I made the announcement it's just from full-time golf. I may tee it up a few times next year. A matter of when and what tournaments I don't know. I am just going to take time for myself and take it day by day.”
