I have followed her for 3-4 holes in 2 tournaments - 1st obvious observation, very impressive athletic skill ; 2nd - she is very focused in her game ; 3rd , she seems pretty cool and people around her seem really nice also

Lexi you shine as a person as much as a player you have become a legend GOd bless you

Lexi has done well might just need a break for a couple of years still young enough to come back

She impressed me when she won her first event, she donated $20,000 to Wounded Warrior Foundation. Who you spend your charitable donations on is telling.

She needs the time for her self. I hope she finds what she is looking for and enjoy the life around her 😊

Hoping for the best in her future life. She was a really nice person and advocate for the game of golf. As for the negative comments posted by her detractors, none of them have put in the time nor effort to accomplish what she has done in her career.

I truly hope that we will see her on the course in the future. I can't believe that someone called in, and they penalized her after the fact. I would say that the officials on the course were not doing their job.

I hope you reconsider.....maybe a lighter schedule? You might not realize that you inspire so many people and there are just golf fans, like me, that love your style of play and true grit. I always look for your name on the leaderboard because you are my favorite player on the LPGA tour!! Good luck with whatever your days bring you.

Go girl.

She has been in the mainstream for more years than the others, so she is tired of the hassle. Maybe just a break, and a return N 🤗

Still not sure of the real reason. Hope she finds her happy place somewhere I guess. I need a fourth in a golf scramble in a few weeks. Think we would win if she hits from the women’s tees.

Mismarking her ball and being informed of the penalty during her round. Chicken shit by LPGA

I think this is a classic example of being a child prodigy, and eventually burning out at a young age. I see this with child athletes who are nowhere near as talented as her in youth sports, so I can’t imagine how much more pressure she had to deal with at a young age. I always blame the parents for not understanding that these prodigies are headed for disaster in someway as you see it all the time. It’s a shame as she was super talented.

To me, Lexi Thompson's unexpected retirement is her response to the loneliness and emptiness resulting from devoting too much time to golf.

I did not understand it was a full retirement....I think it is just a partial retirement with about one half the amount of tournaments still being played???? I hope I am right and she did not decide on a full retirement. If so, please come back to golf, Lexi...golf needs you.

She started young and is now burned out. She cannot keep up anymore with the young Asians

What are the reasons ???? Is she pregnant? or engaged ??

So what is the "real reason"? All this video did was to leave me asking more questions. More speculation.

2 minutes of content stretched into 10. Blah

She wants to make mini Lexis

When she blew the US Open at Olympic, that was a real downer.

Lexi has a foot-fault in her swing that she is unable to correct. This could be the reason why she is forced to retire early.

Quite a lady.

Running down on atheletes who don't meet expectations for the sake of news items is idiotic journalism.

The real reason?? She's hasn't won in awhile. She no longer has the game... AND her gf wants her home more.

Terrible job here. You never give " real reason"

Real reason? Clickbait!! Maybe her golfpartner Trump has asked her to be vp?

She made a ton of marketing/endorsement money over her career because of her looks and early youthfulness, not from her dull personality. She started out dull on/off the course, and remained that way throughout. Neither her nor her game seemed to evolve. And the Asian girls ate her alive. Lydia Ko had the career Lexi was supposed to have.

She was a victim of the Asian swarm on the LPGA. Lexi couldn’t keep up with them in the earlier stages of her career. Now in the later stages of it she has Nelly to deal with & again she falls short of expectations. Lexi believed she would be a flat out beast on the LPGA. Instead she resulted more like a Rickie Fowler. An overhyped overrated professional golfer 🤷🏻‍♂️⛳️

With all do respect, one only has to wonder if Lexi's sports management group or Maxfli paid for this promotional piece. IMHO her legacy will be marked more by her failure to win in over 5 years, almost loosing her card in 2023, blowing a 5 stroke lead in the Women's US Open and marketing gimmicks. To a large extent the pressure referenced as the reason for her overall mediocre career was self imposed by way of the promotional and hype she herself willingly participated in. An now I guess we can expect that, similar to Michelle Wie, Lexi will place the blame for her not performing up to the hype and promotion on something or someone else. As displayed once again in the US Women's PGA Championship, despite lighting in up on the back nine after a 43 on the front, Lexi chocked on Sunday and moved backwards. That is not indicative of a courageous, top tier player. So perhaps promotional pieces like this and more of the press should be focused on the countless Asian players who perform week after week and have routinely beat Lexi over the past 5 years. Oh one more thing there is a reason the video doesn't get into specifics regarding the Olympics and Solheim Cup as Lexi's performance in those is indicative of her less than extraordinary play.
