Lexi Thompson’s retirement from full-time golf is bringing a level of openness from her that has only been seen in spurts during her career. With Thompson, 29, announcing over the summer that she'd step away from a full LPGA schedule—though she isn’t ruling out playing in selected events—this week's CME Group Tour Championship is a farewell of sorts at the end of her 14th year on tour.

Thompson missed four straight cuts during a six-week stretch starting in April but rebounded with three consecutive top 10s, including runner-up at the Meijer LPGA Classic. She has not won on the LPGA in nearly five years, her last victory at the 2019 ShopRite LPGA Classic.

In a shocking move earlier this year, Lexi Thompson, an LPGA Tour standout, said she was going to retire after the conclusion of the season.

The 2024 Rolex LPGA Awards took place in Naples, Florida on Wednesday — and they were streamed live on Peacock for the first time ever — with all the stars of women’s golf showing up before the CME Group Tour Championship to take home some hardware and celebrate the sport they play so well.
