Lexi Thompson hails from Coral Springs and grew up in a golf-loving family. The LPGA phenom is a born competitor who honed her skills playing against her golfing brothers, both of whom went on to pro careers themselves. Competitiveness stoked at a young age transferred into competition and into full bloom in 2007. That year, Lexi survived a USGA qualifier to earn a spot in the field at the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open. She was only 12 years, four months and one day old when she qualified, becoming the youngest-ever qualifier — beating a record previously held by Morgan Pressel. She turned pro at age 15 and won on the LPGA Tour at age 16. It was quite a start to a golf career, but a start that Thompson continues to live up to. To date, Lexi has 11 career wins on the LPGA Tour. In 2007, she was the youngest player to ever qualify for the US Women’s Open, and is a 2x Olympian competing Team USA in 2016 and 2020. Off the course, Thompson is recognized for her philanthropic efforts and dedication to growing the game of golf, especially among young women. Top of Form
