LPGA golfer Lexi Thompson is currently enjoying her life off-the-field during the festive season. With presents being gifted around Christmas, it looks like the 27-year-old decided to award herself with a shiny new toy. She exhibited a picture of her latest purchase on her Instagram account, while also thanking the firm behind it.

Thompson currently owns a Nissan GTR, a 2021 Bentley Bentayga, and a Toyota Lexus. Keeping with her pattern of distinct car brands, she recently bought a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392.
The latest off-road car from Jeep runs on a 470-horsepower engine. Its enormous size is well-equipped with brisk speed. The company claims the car can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
While Thompson didn’t reveal the price of her latest addition to her car collection, we can expect it to be quite a few bucks. The car’s price ranges from $79,880 to $97,495, but the golfer must have spent way more since her Wrangler was custom-designed.

In her Instagram post where she unveiled her vehicle, Thompson thanked her hometown car dealership company called South Florida Customs. The firm deals with car customizations and has an impressive social media account, backed by a strong following of 110,000.
