Lexi Thompson, a longtime fan favorite on the LPGA Tour, has turned 30. Many have followed her journey since she debuted at the U.S. Women’s Open at age 12, practicing her autograph on the way to Pine Needles. Today, she stands as one of the most recognizable figures in women’s golf.
A winner of 11 LPGA titles, Thompson began the 2025 season at the Founders Cup, finishing tied for 13th. She plans to compete in the Ford Championship and JM Eagle LA Championship before the first major in April. As a past Chevron champion, she remains eligible indefinitely and is likely to qualify for other majors.
Turning professional at 15, Thompson won her first LPGA title at 16 as a non-member. She joined the LPGA full-time in 2012 and has competed for 13 seasons. Last summer, she announced plans to step back from full-time play in 2025, marking a shift in her illustrious career.
Despite scaling back her schedule, Thompson will play in at least two LPGA majors in 2025, with the potential for more. Her impact on the game remains significant, both as a competitor and as an inspiration to young golfers. The next chapter of her career promises continued excitement.
