Lexi Thompson announced Tuesday she will retire from playing professional golf full-time at the end of the 2024 season citing mental health. She is retiring at age 29, an age far younger than when most pro golfers put their clubs away.
In 2014, she won her first, and to date only, major championship by prevailing at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. "I'm not going to sit here and say that moment didn't hurt, still does, but it's part of a career," she said.
