September was pretty hectic for Lexi Thompson. The LPGA Tour star started with the Solheim Cup, practice for which began right after the FM Championship concluded. After playing for the winning team, she appeared at the Kroger Queen City Championship, followed by the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Her performance in both tournaments was not really up to the mark.

She dropped down the top-15 list on both of them. But what happened? Well, having played consecutively for three weeks, she ended up having a daunting injury on her wrist. Giving the update, she wrote, “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 👊🏼.” But it looks like she finally has an update about her return. 

Lexi Thompson’s fans can finally end their curiosity about when the American professional plans to tee off next after almost a month and a half. The 29-year-old golfer took to her official Instagram account a few hours ago and shared a video of herself practicing her swing at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach. In the caption, she wrote, “Few more days of practice before heading out 👊🏼👏🏼.” 

Her wrist seems to be doing so much better now as she also shared a snippet of her doing an arm/shoulder workout on her Instagram story with dumbbells in her hands and she looked as confident as ever. After all, this is the last full season that she will be playing on the Tour as she plans on retiring at the end of this year. So, naturally, fans want to see more of her. The community showed their excitement of finally being able to see her on the golfing greens after so long.

Lexi Thompson will be playing at the ANNIKA

According to the reports, Lexi Thompson will be appearing in the greens next weekend; she’s expected to return at The ANNIKA Driven by Gainbridge at Pelican on November 14. This falls under one of the significant events of the LPGA Tour. Top players like 2024 Player of the Year Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko, who have not appeared on the greens for as long as Lexi Thompson herself too, will be making a comeback there. Taking to this, while one of them wrote, “Love you, Lexi, ❤️ Early bird practice 💪”, another commented, “Gr8 prepares for Pelicans👏👏👏”.

Lexi Thompson started playing on the LPGA Tour in 2012, two years after turning professional. Ever since the 29-year-old has been able to grab eleven victories on the Tour. Now she might not have been able to grab a win in the 2024 season, but she managed to make eleven cuts out of the sixteen events she appeared in. She also bagged four top-10 finishes, which included a close T2 at the Meijer LPGA Classic in June.  Taking to this, one of them wrote, “You’re the best ❤️”

Thompson announced her retirement on Instagram ahead of the first round of the 2024 US Women’s Open. She cited mental health struggles and a desire to find more balance in her life as reasons for her decision. Her fans were left disappointed by this, and one of them even expressed it in her post and wrote, “Still disappointing you have retired”.

While another simply complimented her amazing swing after months, writing, “Looks great as per normal👍”.
