Lexi Thompson, who is set to compete in her 18th U.S. Women’s Open this week at 29 years old, will be retiring from full-time professional golf at the end of 2024, the U.S. Women’s Open announced Tuesday.
In 2007, Thompson became the youngest qualifier in U.S. Women’s Open history at age 12, a record since broken by Lucy Li, who qualified at 11 years old in 2014.
Lexi Thompson will retire from professional golf at the conclusion of the 2024 LPGA season.
She’ll be speaking to the media at 2:30 p.m. ET today at Lancaster, ahead of her 18th and final U.S. Women’s Open.
