Lexi Thompson returned to the golf course this week. The American golfer made a shock announcement earlier in May, revealing she would not be playing full-time in 2025. She wrapped up her full-time 2024 schedule at the Grant Thornton Invitational, a mixed-field event featuring PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players.
This week, Thompson took to Instagram to share a video of herself practicing some shots on the golf course. While LPGA Tour players have had time away from the greens this week, Thompson seemed to be enjoying her time away from competitive golf by practicing her game. Along with the video, Thompson wrote:
“I did say from full time😏”

I want to say first thank you to all the sponsors , volunteers, fans and course staff at Tiburón for hosting us this week at the @grantthorntoninv ! Always an enjoyable week , and really had fun playing alongside the guys especially my partner Rickie! What Grant Thornton does this week to give back to charitable foundations and also grow the game of golf both male and female is incredible . Such an honor to be part of it!”
