Lexi Thompson shared her feelings about her reduced schedule in 2025.

Ad At the interview, Lexi Thompson was asked to share her insights on her reduced schedule. To which, the golfer replied that she still played 12 to 12 events, but she needed a balance in her life for her wedding plans. “It’s been nice. I still played 12, 13 times and I’m going to play Grant Thornton as well. It was a nice balance, especially getting engaged and wedding planning. This is my 15th year and I think a lot of people don’t realize how long I’ve been out here and at the game. And I was at the game even longer than professional golf, so it’s taken a toll. It might have added up to a few more than I wanted to, but I knew that I wasn’t going to play a full schedule. I mean, I don’t play 35 events. I don’t play a full schedule ever. I usually do play around 20 to 22. I knew I was going to at least cut that in half.” Ad Trending “There is some events that I thoroughly just enjoy playing in the atmosphere, whether it’s the golf course. I would say on the mental aspect of things. Look, I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty hard or myself. I always am because I want the best of myself and I know how much work I put in. I’m never okay with just mediocre golf. But just being able to pick and choose any events and have a balance if the off weeks helped me out a lot. Because sometimes that’s even more important than practice, is giving yourself that balance,” Lexi Thompson added.
