Lexi Thompson is an American golfer who, at the age of 12, made history by becoming the youngest golfer to play in the US Women’s Open. Four years later, she became the youngest tournament winner on the LPGA by winning the Navistar LPGA Classic. Two months after her 19th birthday, she won her first major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Thompson is considered one of the best golfers in the United States. At just 25 years old, he has racked up 14 professional wins. The future looks bright for the 11-time LPGA Tour winner.
This piece will look at Lexi’s personal life. We can confirm that she is not married.
Lexi has kept a tight rein on her love life ever since she became a golf star.
Lexi Thompson has managed to keep the media and the public away from her love life. She has been in the public spotlight for over a decade and there has been no news about her love life. Lexi seems to be content with the love she receives from her family.
Her parents homeschooled her after recognizing her talent for golf.
Lexi’s parents raised Lexi in Coral Springs, Florida, along with her two brothers, Nicholas and Curtis. She grew up in a family of golfers and at the age of 5 she started playing.
Lexi’s parents recognized her talent and decided to homeschool her in sixth grade so she could practice more. Her decision helped Thompson improve her golf skills, but she lost the friends she had in elementary school.
Thompson shares a close bond with her parents and siblings. She describes herself as a “family oriented girl” in her Instagram bio. Her brother Curtis is her head caddy, and when she competes professionally, Lexi’s father Scott steps in. Lexi talked to Golf on the importance of having a family member around while you play:
“My dad has been my coach my whole life. If I have him in the bag, I know he can help me tremendously. Same with Curtis. He also knows my golf swing very well. He can always make me laugh out there. So with any of them, I know I’ll do well and feel comfortable on the golf course and with a lot less pressure.”
Thompson took a break from golf in mid-2018 to deal with issues on and off the course.
On July 25, 2018, Lexi announced via Instagram that she would be taking a break from golf. “The events of the last year and a half (on and off the golf course) have affected me tremendously both mentally and emotionally,” she wrote. “I haven’t really felt like myself for quite a while. Therefore, I am taking this time to recharge my mental batteries and focus on myself away from professional golf.”
Thompson had experienced a difficult 18 months before his firing. He had lost his grandmother, his mother had been diagnosed with cancer for the second time, and he had lost at ANA Inspiration to a rule violation penalty.
Lexi spent the break with family and friends and resumed professional golf a month later at the Indy Women In Tech Championship. She told the media that the events of the last 18 months had accumulated and that she needed some time off to mentally refocus. Lexi said:
“It was a lot to deal with, and I had to show that I was still doing well and still playing golf. And I don’t even know how I played so well, honestly. And I think it all hit me earlier this year… People need to realize that. I’m not just a robot here. I need to have a life.”
