With Lexi Thompson set to retire at the end of this year, many players are starting to consider their own retirement plans. However, Meghan Khang believes she’s been lucky to find a family on the LPGA Tour that she can rely on during tough times. Living on tour means constantly being on the move, and as Khang describes it, it’s like “a travelling circus,” but she has revealed no plans of retiring anytime soon.

Speaking to reporters after finishing T12 in the second round of the FM Championship with a total of 3-under, Meghan Khang was asked if she found tour life challenging. She replied, “I’m very fortunate. I have a great group of friends, and a lot of times we like to get airbnbs together. It’s really cool to kind of have that tight-knit group of friends we consider family out here.”

Her close-knit group on tour reportedly includes World No. 1 Nelly Korda, Jessica Korda, and Alison Lee. They played junior golf together and have maintained a strong bond over the years. Nelly Korda has also spoken about their relationship, saying, “I hang out with usually the same girls: Megan Khang, Alison Lee, and Jess (Jessica Korda). We’ve been close for the past couple of years. We all played junior golf together and we’ve just grown closer as time went on.”

Khang also mentioned that there is always support available on the LPGA Tour for those who seek it, and she is always willing to help other pros. “I’m very much extroverted and very outgoing, and I am probably the first one to say hi to someone who’s a rookie out here. My phone is always open.”

Megan Khang can count on friends like the Korda sisters and Alison Lee inside the ropes during the LPGA Tour to help navigate its ever-changing nature. But she also has a famous friend who has always been an admirer and hopes to see her continue playing professionally for a long time.

Megan Khang’s Hollywood Connection

As a child, Meghan Khang was a golfing prodigy. During her junior years, she competed against the best and developed strong friendships that have lasted to this day. One of her close friends is now a famous Hollywood actress who also used to play junior golf—Kathryn Newton.

The Big Little Lies actress is an avid golfer and is said to play three times a week. Khang first met her at a junior event in Florida, and they quickly bonded. Newton mentioned that she would only play if Khang was playing, and they would stay in the same hotel and swim in the hotel pool after every round.

While Newton left golf to pursue her acting career, she still maintains her connection to the game, promoting women’s golf whenever she can and attending tournaments in person.
