How much money has Lexi Thompson won on the LPGA Tour during her career?
The face of women’s golf has announced she’s retiring at the end of the season. This week she will make her 18th consecutive start at the US Women’s Open at the age of 29!
It’s hard to believe Lexi Thompson could actually consider retiring. She is only 29 years old. That said the women’s golf superstar has been playing professionally since 2010 and won her first LPGA Tour event the following year. She has competed in the Solheim Cup six times for Team USA and represented the US in the Olympics in 2016 and 2021.
She has won 11 times on the LPGA Tour and has had 88 career top 10s. Her career has had some ups and downs, but she has consistently played at the highest level competing in most tour events with very few breaks and with the following annual earnings:
