Last year was an interesting one for Lexi Thompson. In her first 10 events of 2023, Thompson missed eight cuts, including a stretch of five straight from the U.S. Women’s Open to the Portland Classic.
But something clicked after leaving the Pacific Northwest.
Thompson finished T-19 (Kroger Queen City Championship), T-8 (Walmart NW Arkansas Championship), 5th (The Ascendant LPGA) and T-7 (The Annika) over her final four official LPGA starts of the year. At the Solheim Cup, Thompson compiled a 3-1-0 record. She also teamed with Rickie Fowler at the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational in December and tied for sixth.
Well, after a successful end to 2023, Thompson has hired a new full-time caddie for the upcoming ’24 season.

Super happy for @Cheisey3317 he will be on the bag for @Lexi this year.
Lexi’s good run at the end of last year was with Colton on the bag, so will be interesting to see what they do this season. pic.twitter.com/Foaj3QKrKm

Colton Heisey, who was on the bag for Thompson’s last three LPGA starts, will now be looping for the American star full-time.
“I’m super grateful for the opportunity to work with one of the best to ever do it,” Heisey wrote in a post to social media.
