Lexi Thompson returns to the range after stepping back from ‘full-time’ golf

Lexi Thompson recently returned to the golf course after stepping back from full-time professional play. In May 2024, the American golfer announced she would not compete full-time in 2025, concluding her full schedule at the Grant Thornton Invitational in December.

Thompson shared an Instagram video this week, practicing her swings while embracing a less competitive routine. Despite stepping back, her 2024 season included 18 LPGA events, with notable finishes such as third place at the Ford Championship and four top-10 finishes overall.

Her emotional post following the Grant Thornton Invitational celebrated her journey and expressed gratitude to sponsors, fans, and organizers. Partnering with Rickie Fowler in the event, the duo finished 14th, marking the close of her full-time golf chapter.
