At the 2024 CME Group Tour Championship, Marina Alex played her final round on Sunday. The American professional golfer shot 66 in the final round to score 66-76-68-66 and finish T12 along with fellow American golfer Jennifer Kupcho, South Korean Jin Young Ko, and French national Celine Boutier.
After the tournament's end, Marina Alex attended a press conference at the Tiburon Golf Club, which hosted the CME Group Tour Championship. During this press conference, the 34-year-old professional golfer spoke about her emotions about saying goodbye to the sport of golf.
Marina Alex said:
"Yeah, it's hard. Everything -- it's always hard to say good-bye. I know this is what I want and it's the right decision for me right now. That doesn't change the fact that this is a life that I built for the last 11 years out here and golf has been my life since I've been a kid. So we're about to enter a new world of a new identity. It's great, but change is never easy."
