Witnessing the fan favorite, Lexi Thompson, after a successful career stepping away from the sport, surprised the entire community last year. Citing emotional well-being, she stepped away from being a full-time competitor at the course. However, now with the 2025 season in her fourth start, she has shared her feelings about becoming a part-time golfer at the 2025 Chevron Championship.
Asking for the difference, the moderator questioned, “Is there a big difference between Lexi, the player that played forever and now Lexi, the part-time player?” The 11-time LPGA Tour winner answered, “I wouldn’t say a big difference. I’m a same person. Golfer-wise maybe a touch because I’m not playing as much.” Being an active participant in the course for the past decade, she, despite personal life struggles, has managed to stay active in the course.
Continuing further on how she still strives to improve, she added, “When I’m still at home, I’m still practicing and training. I love working out. I’m still striving to be better for when I do tee it up, because every time I tee it up, I still want to win. It’s not like I’m just going out here to show face. I’m still very competitive, and, yeah, but just trying to enjoy the few times I will play.”
