'I’m Still Practicing, Maybe Not Spending As Many Long Days On The Course, But Every Time I Tee It Up, I Still Want That Feeling Of Competing To Win' – Why Lexi Thompson Isn’t Walking Away From Golf Just Yet

Lexi Thompson takes a shot at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Last year, Lexi Thompson stunned the golf world by announcing her retirement from the LPGA Tour. At 29, she played what was expected to be her final tournament for a good while at the Grant Thornton Invitational in December, where she teamed up with Rickie Fowler.

Yet, it seems semi-retirement suits her better. Less than two months later, she’s set to tee it up at this week’s Founders Cup in her home state of Florida. Sitting down with the ever-popular Thompson at last month’s PGA Show, I was intrigued to learn more about her plans for this season and beyond.
