Is Lexi Thompson Ending 1-Month Injury Hiatus to Play in Lotte Championship 2024? All You Need to Know
Fans of LPGA pro Lexi Thompson have been eagerly awaiting her return to the golf course and for a good reason. The six-time Solheim Cup veteran last competed in the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship a month ago, securing T17th place with a score of 10 under par. Thompson’s absence from the greens has been due to a nagging wrist injury, and we all know how it is between the golfers and the injuries.
After playing in the event, Thompson expressed her gratitude to the sponsors, volunteers, and fans for making the event a resounding success. She acknowledged the incredible support behind the tournament and was thrilled to have competed in front of enthusiastic crowds. “Thank you the sponsors, volunteers and fans this week at the @nwachampionship for making this great week possible! The support behind this event is incredible and I was happy to make it back and play in front of the crowds :)”, she wrote in an Instagram post four weeks ago.
“Being my third week in a row, it’s been a bit rough on my hand again, so I’m happy to have these next 4-5 weeks off to get some rest, make sure I’m 100% to finish the year, and put in the work as usual 👊🏼”. Thompson is currently resting and recovering from the daunting injury, but with the upcoming Lotte Championship, fans are wondering if she will make an appearance since this is her last full professional season on the Tour. So, will she? Well, no. The Lotte Championship consists of amazing golfers like Ayaka Furue, Mao Saigo, and Jin Young Ko, but unfortunately, Thompson is not a part of this field.
Since Lexi Thompson announced her retirement, fans have wondered how they could stay connected with their beloved golfer outside the tournament greens. Well, Thompson has already hinted at some exciting post-retirement plans to soothe those concerns. Her recent social media activity has been truly attention-grabbing, especially with Halloween in full swing.
Halloween fever has spread across the golf world, with top players tapping into their spooky side. While celebrities putting up their most bizarre and dramatic costume was very much expected, Thompson’s Halloween comeback after four years of absence was truly unexpected. The 29-year-old took to her Instagram handle, posting some much-awaited pictures in her Halloween costume, donning a cop dress. She captioned her post, “Finally caught the wanted one 👮♀️😉 #mytattooart #costumes“. And of course, fans gushed with excitement at her festive return.
