Lexi Thompson’s transition from LPGA restrictions to PGA Tour excitement 

Prior to her gameplay at Vegas for the PGA Tour, Lexi Thompson sat down for a press conference and answered questions related to women’s golf, resilience in play, her Solheim Cup performance, and future accomplishments.

When asked about feeling restricted by the LPGA setups and the freedom she might experience in the PGA Tour due to the longer driving range, Thompson acknowledged feeling constrained in LPGA events and expressed her excitement about playing in Vegas for the PGA.

Regarding her use of the driver off the deck and other unconventional shots, the 11-time LPGA winner added, “You know, the last few weeks I didn’t hit too many drivers, but you still have to hit the golf shots on the LPGA Tour.” She further stated, “It’s just [that] I don’t get to take advantage of sometimes my length on a few of those holes.”

Concluding her remark, the player mentioned, “Here it’s driver on every hole, and I definitely like that. Fire away and swing, get the most distance I can on a few of those holes.”

The cadence and preparation around Thompson’s performance for the PGA Tour have been quite positive. But before we get into it, here is how the golfer has expressed her gratitude after her last event.
