Alexis Noel Thompson (born February 10, 1995) is an American professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour. She has won a total of 15 professional titles during her career, including 11 victories on the LPGA Tour. Her one major title came at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship. She has represented the United States at seven Solheim Cups, winning in 2015, 2017 and 2024.

Key Information

In 2007, aged 12, Thompson became the then youngest ever golfer to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. In 2010, she was part of the United States team that won the Curtis Cup, and she turned professional afterwards aged 15. In September 2011, Thompson set a record as the then youngest-ever winner of an LPGA tournament, aged 16 years, seven months, and eight days, when she won the Navistar LPGA Classic. Three months later, she became the second-youngest winner of a Ladies European Tour event, after capturing the Dubai Ladies Masters, and in 2013 she became the youngest player to compete for the United States in a Solheim Cup. She won her first and only major championship at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship at the age of 19, making her the second youngest LPGA golfer to have won a major at the time.

Thompson's pursuit of a second major victory has resulted in several near-misses. She finished second at the 2015 Evian Championship, and she lost in a playoff at the 2017 ANA Inspiration after being penalized a total of four penalty strokes during the tournament for replacing her ball incorrectly and subsequently signing an incorrect scorecard. She has also recorded further runner-up finishes at the 2019 U.S. Women's Open and the 2022 Women's PGA Championship, and let slip a five-stroke lead during the final round of the 2021 U.S. Women's Open where she ended up in third place.

Family and education

[edit]

Thompson grew up in a home that was situated immediately adjacent to Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida.[3] She is the youngest of three siblings: her two brothers Nicholas and Curtis also became professional golfers.[4][5][6] She began playing golf at age 5, and started playing competitively two years later.[7] Thompson was home-schooled, getting up early in the morning to carry out her studies before playing golf in both the mornings and afternoons. She graduated in July 2012.[3]

Amateur career

[edit]

In 2003, Thompson was the U.S. Kids under-8 World Champion and she won the under-9 title the following year.[7] In 2007, aged 12, she became the then youngest ever player to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. At the tournament, she shot 76-82 and failed to make the cut.[8] Her record was later surpassed by Lucy Li in 2014 who was 11.[9] During 2007, Thompson won the Aldila Junior Classic to become the second-youngest winner in American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) history,[7] and she also won the Westfield Junior PGA Championship to become the youngest winner in Junior PGA Championship history.[10]

In 2008, Thompson won the U.S. Girls' Junior at Hartford Golf Club, overcoming Karen Chung five and four to seal the title and become the second youngest ever winner of the trophy.[11] That year, she again qualified for the U.S. Women's Open, where she failed to make the cut.[12] She also competed in the Junior Ryder Cup in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in which the United States triumphed 22‍–‍2 over Europe.[7]

Thompson qualified for the U.S. Women's Open for the third straight year in 2009, and she made the cut for the first time, finishing tied for 34th.[13] She then clinched victory in a playoff at the Verizon Junior Heritage.[7] Thompson was selected to play at the 2009 Junior Solheim Cup, and she helped the United States record a 15.5-8.5 victory over Europe at Aurora Country Club, in Aurora, Illinois.[14]

Thompson played as an amateur in the Women's Australian Open, where she finished T16th,[15] and she made the cut at the 2010 Kraft Nabisco Championship, finishing T24th.[16] She represented the winning United States team in the 2010 Curtis Cup competition and she went undefeated, winning four matches and tying in a fifth. The United States defeated Great Britain and Ireland 12.5-7.5.[17]

Professional career

[edit]

2010

[edit]

On June 16, 2010, Thompson, aged 15, announced that she had turned professional, the youngest female player to do so.[18] She also signed a sponsorship deal with Cobra-PUMA Golf.[18] Lacking official status as an LPGA Tour member, she largely had to rely on sponsor exemptions to gain entry into tournaments. Her first sponsor's exemption was entry into the ShopRite LPGA Classic where she missed the cut by four strokes.[19]

Thompson progressed through qualifying to gain entry to the U.S. Women's Open in July. She finished T10th at the tournament, at six-over-par, nine shots behind winner Paula Creamer.[20] Two weeks later, at the Evian Masters, Thompson finished T2nd, one shot behind the winner.[21] Her ranking subsequently rose 75 places to number 74 in the updated Women's World Golf Rankings on July, 26 2010.[22]

Petition to LPGA

[edit]

In December 2010, Thompson petitioned the LPGA to allow her to play in up to twelve LPGA tournaments in 2011 using sponsor exemptions instead of the six allowed to non-members by LPGA rules. In January 2011, Commissioner Mike Whan denied Thompson's petition, but announced that the LPGA rules would be changed to allow non-members to participate in Monday qualifying for events they wished to enter.[23]

2011–2013

[edit]
Thompson at the 2013 Women's British Open

Thompson began playing in one-day tournaments in October 2010 on the Fuzion Minor League Golf Tour.[24] She returned to play against women in February 2011, at the Women's Australian Open and the ANZ Ladies Masters, where she missed the cut and finished T42nd respectively. Returning to the United States, she won a one-round Fuzion Tour event, on February 21, at her home course in Coral Springs, Florida. Tied after 18 holes, she beat Brett Bergeron on the second playoff hole, for her first professional win. Victory also meant she became just the second woman to triumph in the Fuzion Minor League.[24] In March, Thompson attempted the Monday qualifier for the LPGA Kia Classic, but failed to qualify.[25]

Thompson's first LPGA tournament in 2011 was the Avnet LPGA Classic, with a sponsor's exemption. After three rounds, she was tied for the lead. In the final round, she carded a 78, which included back-to-back double-bogeys on the 14th and 15th holes. She finished the event tied for 19th, nine strokes behind the winner.[26][27] In September, she won her first LPGA tournament, the Navistar LPGA Classic, by a five-stroke margin over Tiffany Joh. Aged 16, her victory meant she became the youngest ever winner on the LPGA Tour, breaking the previous record set by Marlene Hagge at age 18 in 1952.[28][29] Her record stood for 11 months until 15-year-old Lydia Ko won the 2012 CN Canadian Women's Open the following year.[30]

On December 17, 2011, Thompson won the Dubai Ladies Masters, an event on the Ladies European Tour (LET), with a four-stroke margin. This win made her the youngest professional winner on the LET at age 16 years, 10 months, 8 days, and the second-youngest overall, after Amy Yang, who was four months younger when she won the 2006 ANZ Ladies Masters as an amateur.[31]

Qualifying for 2012 LPGA membership

[edit]

Thompson successfully petitioned the LPGA to receive a waiver to the rule that LPGA Tour members must be at least 18 years old, allowing her to enter the 2011 LPGA Qualifying School for Tour membership in 2012. The first of three stages was held in July at the LPGA International course in Daytona Beach, Florida. Thompson won stage one by ten strokes, with the top 50 finishers and ties advancing to stage two.[32] Having won the Navistar LPGA Classic, Thompson withdrew from qualifying school,[33] and she petitioned the LPGA for membership based on her win. Her petition was approved on September 30, 2011, and she became a member of the tour for 2012.[34] Earlier that month, Thompson recorded a third place finish at the Evian Championship, the final major of the year.[35]

Thompson made her Solheim Cup debut in August 2013 at the Colorado Golf Club and became the youngest ever player to represent the United States at the competition.[36] They were defeated 10‍–‍18 by Europe, and she finished the event with a 1‍–‍2‍–‍0 (win‍–‍loss‍–‍tie) record, which included a 4 and 3 victory over Caroline Masson in the singles.[37] Thompson then earned her second LPGA Tour win with a four-stroke victory at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia in October,[38] and she also won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational the following month, beating second placed Stacy Lewis by one stroke.[39]

2014

[edit]

Thompson earned her fourth career LPGA win, and first major championship at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship in April. The victory made her the second-youngest women's major winner at the time (after Morgan Pressel).[40] She recorded 73‍–‍64‍–‍69‍–‍68=274 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California to secure a three-stroke victory from Michelle Wie. After her win, Thompson revealed "This was one of my goals coming into the year, to win a major. I've always seen myself winning a Kraft Nabisco. It's such a huge honor with all the history behind the tournament."[41] She also recorded top-10 major finishes at the U.S. Women's Open, where she finished in a tie for seventh,[42] and at the Evian Championship where she ended tied for tenth.[43] In total, she made eight top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour during the year.[44]

2015

[edit]

Thompson finished 7th at the ANA Inspiration in April, and third at the Women's PGA Championship in June.[45][46] She then earned her fifth career win on the LPGA Tour at the Meijer LPGA Classic in July. Having trailed by four strokes after the conclusion of the third round, Thompson shot a six-under-par round on the final day to seal a one-stroke victory over Gerina Piller.[47] She then won her sixth LPGA Tour title, and her second of the year at the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship in Incheon, South Korea. Thompson finished the tournament 15-under-par and said afterwards "I don’t really play for myself as much as I play for my country. I love being an American and it’s a great honor to be the first American to win in Korea."[48] At the 2015 Evian Championship in September, Thompson finished in second place, six strokes adrift of the winner Lydia Ko.[49]

Thompson then played in the 2015 Solheim Cup held at Golf Club St. Leon-Rot in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The United States claimed a narrow 14.5‍–‍13.5 victory, with Thompson finishing with an undefeated 2‍–‍0‍–‍2 record. Thompson won two matches alongside playing partner Cristie Kerr and halved her singles match with Carlota Ciganda on the closing day.[50] In total, she made 13 top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour during the season and earned $1,763,904 in prize money.[44]

2016

[edit]

In February 2016, Thompson earned her seventh LPGA Tour win at the Honda LPGA Thailand. She ended the event 20-under-par to win the tournament by six strokes from In Gee Chun.[51] Thompson held the lead after the penultimate round of the ANA Inspiration in April, but eventually had to settle for fifth place, three strokes behind the tournament winner Lydia Ko.[52] In May, she earned her first victory on the LPGA Tour of Japan, which came at the World Ladies Championship Salonpas Cup, where she won by a two-stroke margin over Ayaka Watanabe.[53] That same month, she also recorded top-10 finishes in the Kingsmill Championship (T5th) and the LPGA Volvik Championship (T6th).[54][55] The following month, Thompson finished T4th at the Meijer LPGA Classic.[56]

In July, Thompson was part of the United States team that triumphed at the 2016 International Crown. The United States finished the event one-point clear of South Korea.[57] She then had her best finish at the Women's British Open, finishing T8th at Woburn Golf and Country Club.[58] Thompson was then selected by the United States to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. She finished T19th, seven strokes adrift of the bronze medal position, and she later had the Olympic Games emblem tattooed below the palm of her hand.[59] In December, she became the second woman, after Annika Sorenstam, to compete at the QBE Shootout. There, she formed a team with Bryson DeChambeau and they finished the event T11th.[60]

2017

[edit]

Thompson began the season at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, where she shot a course-record twelve-under-par 61 in her second round. This marked the second-best round to par in LPGA history.[61] She later missed a putt to win the tournament, and Brittany Lincicome defeated her in the resulting playoff with a birdie on the first extra hole.[62] In April, Thompson was penalized a total of four strokes for replacing her ball incorrectly on the green while playing the 17th hole of her third round at the ANA Inspiration. The infringement was reported in by a TV viewer and assessed after completion of the round, which meant that in addition to receiving a two-stroke penalty for replacing the ball incorrectly, she was also penalized two strokes for signing an incorrect scorecard.[63] After four rounds, she finished in a playoff, eventually losing to Ryu So-yeon.[64] Afterwards, Thompson said "It is unfortunate with what happened. I did not mean that at all. I had no idea that I did it."[65]

Thompson earned her eighth LPGA Tour win at the Kingsmill Championship in May, where she finished with a tournament record 20-under-par.[66] In June, at the Manulife LPGA Classic, Thompson was defeated in a three-way playoff by Ariya Jutanugarn. Thompson had held a four-shot lead in the event after nine holes on the final day, but shot four-bogeys to lose her advantage.[67] She then recorded a T7th finish at the Women's PGA Championship.[68] Thompson won the inaugural Indy Women in Tech Championship in September for her ninth LPGA Tour win. She claimed the title by a four-stroke margin over second placed Lydia Ko in Indianapolis.[69]

At the 2017 Solheim Cup, Thompson finished with an unbeaten 2‍–‍0‍–‍2 record at Des Moines Golf and Country Club, Iowa, as the United States secured a 16.5‍–‍11.5 overall victory. Thompson's two winning points at the event came with playing partner Kerr on day two. Thompson and Kerr played together for a total of six matches during the 2015 and 2017 editions of the event, winning four and halving two, with their five points being a joint partnership record in Solheim Cup history. Thompson halved her singles match with Anna Nordqvist, having been 4 down after nine holes.[70][71][72] At the CME Group Tour Championship in November, Thompson missed a two-foot putt on the 18th hole, and Ariya Jutanugarn finished with back-to-back birdies to secure the title by one stroke. The result was enough for Thompson to secure the overall Race to the CME Globe for the $1 million bonus.[73][74] Thompson won the Vare Trophy in 2017 for having the lowest scoring average on the LPGA Tour. Her 69.114 average was an all-time record.[75]

2018

[edit]

In February, Thompson finished T2nd at the Honda LPGA Thailand.[76] She finished T5th at the U.S. Women's Open in June, ending a run of six straight LPGA events without a top-10 finish,[77][78] but she later withdrew from the Women's British Open and took a month-long leave from the LPGA Tour. In a post on Instagram, she explained: "I have not truly felt like myself for quite some time", adding "I am therefore taking this time to recharge my mental batteries, and to focus on myself away from the game of professional golf."[79] Thompson competed for the United States at the 2018 International Crown in October, and helped the United States finish in a tie for second at the competition.[80]

Prior to the CME Group Tour Championship in November, it was reported that Thompson had split from her caddie Kevin McAlpine.[81] She then won the tournament with an 18-under-par total, giving her a four-shot victory over Nelly Korda.[79] The victory, her first in over a year, and the tenth of her professional career, was worth $500,000. Afterwards, Thompson revealed "This is a special event for me growing up in Florida, and it was so special to win in front of my family and friends. This year has been very up and down but to end it like this is very special."[82][83] In December, she competed in the QBE Shootout with playing partner Tony Finau, and the duo finished in seventh position.[84]

2019

[edit]

Thompson finished 3rd at the ANA Inspiration in April, four strokes behind Ko Jin-young.[85] In June, she finished T2nd in the U.S. Women's Open at the Country Club of Charleston. She finished the event two shots behind Jeong-eun Lee6.[86] The following week, she finished one shot clear of Lee6 at Seaview to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Thompson made an eagle at the final hole to seal her victory. Victory marked the seventh consecutive year that she had won an event on the LPGA Tour.[44][87] She also recorded runner-up finishes at the Meijer LPGA Classic and the Marathon Classic.[88][89]

Thompson finished without a win in the 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland. She posted a 0‍–‍2‍–‍2 record as the United States were defeated by Europe 13.5‍–‍14.5. She lost her singles match to Georgia Hall 2 and 1 on the final day.[90] She finished her year with a T6th place finish at the CME Group Tour Championship.[91]

2020

[edit]

In January, Thompson competed at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, and finished T7th.[92] In March, the LPGA suspended competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[93] In August, after the LPGA Tour had resumed, Thompson was involved in a rules controversy during her opening round at the Women's British Open, when she was observed by an official moving a tuft of grass behind her ball with her club; it was later deemed that her lie had not been improved, as the grass returned to its original position, and she escaped any penalty. She went on to miss the cut.[94][95] She finished fourth at the ANA Inspiration in September, two strokes behind Mirim Lee who won in a playoff.[96] At the LPGA Tour season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, she finished in T5th place.[97]

2021

[edit]

In February, Thompson finished T2nd at the Gainbridge LPGA, three strokes behind champion Nelly Korda.[98] The following month, she finished runner-up again, this time at the Kia Classic where she ended five shots behind Inbee Park.[99] In June, Thompson led the U.S. Women's Open going into the last round at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, California. In the final round, towards the end of her front nine, Thompson led by five strokes. She then shot a five-over-par 41 on the back nine and missed out on a playoff by one stroke.[100] Thompson's caddie Jack Fulghum was taken ill with heatstroke during her first round at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Donna Wilkins, a coach on the United States golf team stood in for him for the remainder of the round. She finished the event in 33rd position.[101][102]

Thompson was a member of the United States team that lost the 2021 Solheim Cup to Europe 13‍–‍15 at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Thompson finished 1‍–‍2‍–‍1 for the tournament with her win coming in the day two foursomes when she and playing partner Brittany Altomare defeated Charley Hull and Emily Kristine Pedersen 2 and 1. In the singles, she halved her match with Anna Nordqvist.[103] In the Pelican Women's Championship, Thompson bogeyed the final hole to end up in a four-way playoff, which was won by Nelly Korda at the first extra hole.[104] She then finished eighth at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.[105] Across her LPGA season, she made the cut at all 19 tournaments that she entered and recorded 7 top-10 finishes.[44]

There, she finished one stroke behind Nelly Korda.[114] She finished the year with ten top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour.[44]

2023

[edit]

Thompson represented the United States at the International Crown in May, where they were defeated in the semi-finals by Thailand. The United States ended the competition in third position after overcoming Sweden in the third-place playoff.[115] She arrived at the 2023 Solheim Cup in September, in a bad run of form. On the LPGA Tour in 2023, she had missed the cut in eight of her last eleven events, and had a season best finish of T19th at the Kroger Queen City Championship.[116] In the Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin in Casares, Andalusia, Thompson recorded three victories from her four matches, finishing with a 3‍–‍1‍–‍0 record, which included a 2 and 1 victory over Emily Kristine Pedersen in the singles.

2024

[edit]

On May 28, 2024, Thompson, 29, announced that she would step back from full time golf at the end of the 2024 LPGA season after 14 years as a professional golfer.[122][123] She said she will continue to play at a small number of events.[124] In June, at the Meijer LPGA Classic, Thompson was beaten in a playoff by Lilia Vu.[125] The following week, she recorded her first top-10 finish in a major since 2022 when she finished T9th in the Women's PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington.[126]

Thompson competed for the United States in the 2024 Solheim Cup at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. She won one of her four matches, securing a victory in the foursomes with Lauren Coughlin against Georgia Hall and Maja Stark.

2025

[edit]

Now playing part-time on the tour, Thompson finished T4th at the Meijer LPGA Classic in June. She had held a share of the lead at the end of the third round, but she lost ground on the final day.[131] The following week she finished T12th at the Women's PGA Championship, and she then later finished second in the team event at the Dow Championship.[132] She and partner Megan Khang were defeated by Im Jin-hee and Lee So-mi in a playoff.[133] She then announced that she would take a five-week break from the sport, consequently missing the Women's British Open and the Evian Championship. Reflecting on her 'retirement' announcement the previous year, Thompson stated "I feel like once I made the announcement, I feel it really got misconstrued that I was retiring. But I never said that word. I just said I was stepping back from a full-time schedule...Just really wanted to dial back my schedule and have more of a life balance."[132]

Personal life

[edit]

Thompson partnered with the SEAL Legacy Foundation, and in May 2017, she skydived with a United States Navy SEAL before the start of the Kingsmill Championship pro-am.[134][135]

In October 2018, Thompson shared how body image issues had affected her. She explained that she would put herself through two "brutal" workouts every day, had cut back on eating, that she would weigh herself "constantly" and compare herself to thin models. She described how she had been self-critical of her own body, but that her mindset had changed. Thompson stated "what I’ve learned is that I’m not going to deprive myself in the one life I get to live, I’m going to enjoy life and my food. You should never compare your body to others it’s a never ending battle of being miserable trust me. Your body is your body, it is beautiful so embrace it."[136]

In January 2025, Thompson revealed that she had become engaged to Max Provost, who proposed to her in Whistler, Canada.[137][138]

She is a supporter of the NHL team Florida Panthers.[1]
