“Being my third week in a row, it’s been a bit rough on my hand again, so I’m happy to have these next 4-5 weeks off to get some rest, make sure I’m 100% to finish the year, and put in the work, as usual, 👊🏼,” said Lexi Thompson after her play at the NW Arkansas Championship in September. Since 2024 is her last full season of the Tour, fans want to see her more on the greens, and now it looks like they will.

Lexi Thompson will be in Florida from November 14 to November 17 for The ANNIKA. The admired golfer made the most of her short break from competitive golf. She promoted her new Fitness app, connected with her fans, worked out hinting at her hands getting better, and last of all attended Justin Timberlake’s concert where she even got a special shoutout from him.

The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican will see some of the best contests of the season. The lineup includes 18 of the top 25 LPGA Players in the world. 6 of those 18 players are the top 6 pros in the current LPGA standings. It just goes to show how big of an event The ANNIKA 2024 will actually be. The penultimate event of the season will be played for a $3,250,000 purse at the Pelican Golf Club.

Lexi Thompson will be in the tournament and will be facing fierce competition on the greens, as the field of the tournament is pretty star-studded.

The competition that awaits Lexi Thompson in Florida

Lexi Thompson will have the toughest lineup of players to overcome. The field includes some top names like Nelly Korda, 2023 winner Lilia Vu, Ruoning Yin, Lydia Ko, Hannah Green, and Ryu Hae-ran. She will also face tough competition from the likes of English golfer Charley Hull and Atthaya Thitikul who have also been quite eager to win titles in the past few months. Charley Hull is coming off a win herself in the Aramco Team Series in Riyadh and will be looking forward to getting back to winning ways on the LPGA Tour as well.

Some other names that will be there in the 120-player field are major champion Brittany Lincicome. Lincicome will be playing her final event of the year in her final full-time LPGA Tour season, University of South Carolina All-American Louise Rydqvist and Wake Forest All-American Rachel Kuehn have been given sponsor exemptions. The coming weekend marks Kuehn’s professional debut.
