Lexi Thompson

Lexi Thompson is an American professional golfer who has been one of the most prominent and accomplished players on the LPGA Tour for over a decade. Born on February 10, 1995, in Coral Springs, Florida, Thompson was a golfing prodigy who shattered records from an early age. At just 12 years old, she became the youngest player ever to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open, and she turned professional at 15, immediately making an impact on the LPGA Tour with her powerful game and competitive drive.

Thompson’s career has been defined by both remarkable achievements and heartbreaking near-misses at major championships. She won the Kraft Nabisco Championship (now the Chevron Championship) in 2014 at age 19, becoming one of the youngest major champions in LPGA history. She has accumulated 11 LPGA Tour victories and has been a consistent presence in the world’s top rankings throughout her career. Her participation in multiple Solheim Cup teams for the United States has further cemented her status as one of American golf’s most important figures.

Known for her exceptional distance off the tee and athletic build, Thompson has been one of the longest hitters in women’s golf throughout her career. Her powerful game, combined with an improving short game, has made her a threat at every tournament she enters. Beyond her physical abilities, she has shown remarkable mental resilience, bouncing back from several high-profile disappointments in major championships to continue competing at the highest level.

With an estimated net worth of $12 million in 2026, Thompson’s wealth reflects her lengthy career at the top of women’s golf. Her career prize money on the LPGA Tour exceeds $14 million, supplemented by lucrative endorsement deals with brands such as Cobra Golf, Puma, and others. Thompson announced her retirement from full-time competitive golf in 2024, though she continues to be involved in the sport and maintains her brand partnerships and business ventures.
