“The cameras are always on, capturing every swing and every moment on and off the golf course,” said Lexi Thompson when she announced that she would be returning from professional golf at the end of the 2024 season. According to Thompson, the barrage of social media criticism can overwhelm and add to existing struggles. Despite that, the 29-year-old often gives fans glimpses of her off-the-course adventures on social media, which has generated a lot of interest. Most of her updates are about her gym sessions, as she really does like to keep her private life private!

But fans love getting to know more about their favorite celebrities and athletes, especially their love lives! Even though one of her most important relationships is going to come to an end at the end of 2024, the LPGA Pro is ready to turn a new leaf, as she stated, “I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life.

The American golfer celebrated her 29th birthday on February 10. She had a unique way of celebrating her birthday as she accepted the role of being the godmother of her nephew, Maverick Cole Thompson. But with this acceptance came speculations about the LPGA star’s love interest.

To all golf fans who are wondering, Lexi Thompson is not dating anyone and is currently single. The LPGA Tour player has been secretive about her love life from the start, and there is no publicly available information about it, even from her past. But fans can say the 29-year-old has been in love with golf since the start. And this love runs in her whole family!

Besides the LPGA star, her two brothers, Nicholas and Curtis Thompson, are also pro-golfers. They have both played on the PGA Tour. She shares a strong connection with her siblings. Her brothers have, time and again, taken care of her bag in her career, caddying for her. And if it wasn’t evident already, she loves her family. And another person she loves spending time with is her nephew.

Before leaving for the Aramco Saudi Ladies International on February 15, she spent time with Maverick. She shared this information online, writing, “I went to see Little Mav before I left the country.” Apart from strong family ties, other reasons, such as her love for golf, may indicate why the LPGA star’s love life isn’t her priority.

Praise-worthy achievements of Lexi Thompson’s illustrious career

While there is zero information about Lexi Thompson’s love life, her golfing career shines brighter than all. She is one of the few players who is considered a child prodigy. At 12, she qualified for the US Women’s Open, becoming the youngest player ever to do so. Lucy Li later broke this record in 2014.

Looking at her budding career in golf, she began home-schooling to focus all her attention on the sport. This move made a huge impact on her career, as she broke the record for the youngest winner on the LPGA Tour by winning the Navistar LPGA Classic as a 16-year-old in 2011. Lydia Ko broke this record after 11 months.

Following her Navistar LPGA Classic win, she won the Dubai Ladies Masters. This made her the second-youngest player to win on the Ladies European Tour. The American star also became the seventh woman ever to compete in a PGA Tour event by teeing up at the 2023 Shriners Open. She shot 69 in the second round but unfortunately missed the cut. Notably, she will be going head-to-head against the likes of Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, and Rose Zhang in an exhibition event called The Match 2024.

Another aspect of the female golfer’s life that shines brighter than her love life is her passion for engaging in charity work. She has aligned herself with many causes, like breast cancer and veteran support, promoting charities for the same. In January 2024, she took part in a panel from the Morgan Pressel Foundation to raise awareness about breast cancer.

Furthermore, she is also part of the Caddy for a Cure mission, along with Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson, and many more. She also regularly helps out charities like the CVS Health Charity Classic and the Michael Phelps Foundation. From making millions on the golf course, coupled with sponsorships from Bridgestone, Puma, Rock-Tenn, Rolex, and Volkswagen Group, the American golfer does not forget to give back to the community.
