We will certainly miss Lexi. She inspired my daughter with golf. She also helped my daughter decide to teach golf rather than get her card. I wish Lexi happiness. Such a class act!
She is one of the best woman golfers to watch I always cheer for her and think she got the most bad breaks of any golfer I ever saw I will Miss Her Thanks Lexi
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
@@ESClubGolf Of course she is still young, but perhaps she wants to do other things for a while. She could return but she does not need to. She had a great career, and was/is a fan favorite because of her charm.
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.
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.
The entire Medico Family has the highest degree of love and Respect for Lexi and Her Beautiful Family. Our Eternal love and prayers , in all your Future endeavors. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. YOLO enjoy the best is yet to come . Big Phil aka Philly Cheese. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
Greatest in so many ways , we love you so much and have enjoyed watching you play. I pray that you put our Lord Jesus Christ first in your life because He is above all things .
This video doesn't even come close to a reason. We can all speculate. I can understand and I will speculate. I can only imagine golfing at that level is isolating for men and women, but especially women. Men and women strive for relationships, but relationships and especially the commitments (mostly children) that come with them often conflict with high-level golf. For women, there is no win-win. It is either golf, or family/relationship, but not both. First, most guys are probably intimidated by LPGA women, or at least not even willing to put up with the demands placed on the women. Most men get married to have children, and an LPGA player that says there is no chance of that is not even a consideration. Second, mom's are primary for child rearing, and always will be. It just isn't something that should be farmed out and I think most people know this. If the ultimate goal is relationships and motherhood, LPGA golf is not an option. Are there any examples of LPGA that combine motherhood and high-level golf? For the PGA men that have families/relationships, I don't think it is any picnic. The time demands are crazy too, but the glamor of being a WAG has an alure and many women want it, actually seek it. However, I don't see any glamor in a HAB (husband and boyfriend) of LPGA. I see Lexi as a Pro's Pro that has nothing to prove to anyone on the course, and now the sacrifices outweigh the sum of the gains. It is time to pursue something else, and there is no better way to make room for that next goal than to step away from the LPGA that demands all her life.
Actually, she will mostly be remembered by blowing a 5 stroke lead in the US Open and failure to win in over 5 years. So at the end of the day it was her inability to manage the 6 inches between the ears the separates great athletes from the others. Annika won over 80 times on the LPGA in contrast to Lexi's 11 wins. So let's be clear she isn't one of the best in her peer group and clearly not even in the discussion of the top LPGA players.
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.
Ah, yes, because winning multiple LPGA tournaments and representing the USA in the Solheim Cup multiple times is just so average. Clearly, dull personalities always captivate millions of fans and stay at the top of their game for years!
It's important to keep discussions respectful, especially when it comes to someone's career and personal decisions. Lexi Thompson has dedicated herself to her sport and has achieved a great deal. Let's focus on her accomplishments and contributions to golf rather than making unfounded speculations.
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 🤷🏻♂️⛳️
I do think her game is slipping a bit and that played a part. However, she did manage to win 14 million dollars and 11 tournaments against that "Asian swarm" as you call it. Not a bad career in my book...
She resented her retirement she back. I hope that she wins as many LPGAs and also launches a Y.T.Golf🏌🏼♀-Vlogging-channel. You go-girl and good luck back in the circuit👍🏻.
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.
Oh, absolutely! Because when someone wins multiple LPGA titles, represents her country in the Olympics, and becomes one of the most recognizable figures in women's golf, it's clearly all about her failures. Thanks for the insight!
We will miss you Lexi. Thank you for all the great moments you have given us Golf fans.
Indeed!
Hey. Thanks for being a great fan ❤️
She will be missed by ALL golf fans! Hoping she returns when she feels the time is right! Just a truly super player!!!
Indeed we'll miss her! As mentioned earlier, it would be great to have her back on the course in the near future. We'll be waiting Lexi!
We will certainly miss Lexi. She inspired my daughter with golf. She also helped my daughter decide to teach golf rather than get her card. I wish Lexi happiness. Such a class act!
You have CLASS and GRACE beyond your years. You will be missed.
Absolutely!
Hey. Thanks for being a great fan ❤️
She is one of the best woman golfers to watch I always cheer for her
and think she got the most bad breaks of any golfer I ever saw I will Miss Her
Thanks Lexi
We'll miss her as well! Such a fan favorite golfer!
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
Interesting observations! Great analysis.
We certainly enjoyed watching Lexi. Will miss her.^
Wishing for her to get back on course!
@@ESClubGolf Of course she is still young, but perhaps she wants to do other things for a while. She could return but she does not need to. She had a great career, and was/is a fan favorite because of her charm.
Talent, class, beauty, and courage... Lexi Thompson will certainly be missed.😔
All the best in your future endeavors, Lexi!❤
We wish the same for her! Can't thank her enough for motivating an entire generation of youngsters.
Will miss you Lexi. Thank you for your perseverance. God bless you in this next season of your life.🏌♀
Absolutely! She deserves this rest at this point of her life. But we would still want her to make a comeback!
A CLASS ACT !
We would miss her though! She used to bring so much to the court!
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.
True that!
Hey thanks for being a great fan ❤️
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.
What an amazing career she had!
She is amazing !
I wish you all the best going forward. You deserve every happiness 😢
She does! We would be waiting for her comeback.
Talent, class, beauty, and courage
All in one! Class apart!
Lexi you shine as a person as much as a player you have become a legend GOd bless you
Thanks a lot for your blessings towards her and your support! Keep watching our videos!
Lexi has done well might just need a break for a couple of years still young enough to come back
Absolutely!
We’ll miss you Lexi !!!!
She needs the time for her self. I hope she finds what she is looking for and enjoy the life around her 😊
Absolutely! She deserves this time off. Hope she returns to golf once again.
The entire Medico Family has the highest degree of love and Respect for Lexi and Her Beautiful Family. Our Eternal love and prayers , in all your Future endeavors. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. YOLO enjoy the best is yet to come . Big Phil aka Philly Cheese. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Great to see her getting all the love she rightfully deserves!
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.
That is an interesting perspective!
To me, Lexi Thompson's unexpected retirement is her response to the loneliness and emptiness resulting from devoting too much time to golf.
That's true, possible!
Go girl.
Thanks for your support!

If she is burnt out, then she needs a break more than anyone else right now. But we definitely wish for her to make a comeback!
Take some well deserved time off and relax. Wait until you miss it and Love to play again.
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 surely will find her happy place, we wish!
Mismarking her ball and being informed of the penalty during her round. Chicken shit by LPGA
Both of these things are true: 1. Pro tournaments should not review player conduct based upon emails they receive. 2. Lexi Thompson is a cheater
Cool
Greatest in so many ways , we love you so much and have enjoyed watching you play. I pray that you put our Lord Jesus Christ first in your life because He is above all things .
What are the reasons ???? Is she pregnant? or engaged ??
She just needs some time off golf!
So what is the "real reason"? All this video did was to leave me asking more questions. More speculation.
Clearly, she's opting for the calm and uneventful life of retirement at the peak of her career. How could anyone think otherwise?
Are you saying she can no longer handle the stress of pro golf competition?@@ESClubGolf
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 🤗
We would so love to see that! Every athlete deserves their much needed break. It would be splendid to have her back on course.
She started young and is now burned out. She cannot keep up anymore with the young Asians
Maybe she realized that! But we definitely wanted more of her.
When she blew the US Open at Olympic, that was a real downer.
She must have been really disappointed with that herself, isn't she?

Lexi’s issue is that she let the media get to her , and she can’t putt from 5 feet
She wants to make mini Lexis
Cannot wait for the good news!
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.
Fans are expecting her to be back on course. Maybe she is able to fix that fault soon!
2 minutes of content stretched into 10. Blah
Actually, she will mostly be remembered by blowing a 5 stroke lead in the US Open and failure to win in over 5 years.

The real reason?? She's hasn't won in awhile. She no longer has the game... AND her gf wants her home more.
You sure? That's the only reason?
I wasted 9 minutes watching this piece of crap video, you never answered why she retired , that was the whole reason why I watched
Quite a lady.
Yea she was, who do u think is next great female golfer ?
Running down on atheletes who don't meet expectations for the sake of news items is idiotic journalism.
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.

Ah, yes, because winning multiple LPGA tournaments and representing the USA in the Solheim Cup multiple times is just so average. Clearly, dull personalities always captivate millions of fans and stay at the top of their game for years!
Terrible job here. You never give " real reason"
Real reason? Clickbait!! Maybe her golfpartner Trump has asked her to be vp?
It's important to keep discussions respectful, especially when it comes to someone's career and personal decisions. Lexi Thompson has dedicated herself to her sport and has achieved a great deal. Let's focus on her accomplishments and contributions to golf rather than making unfounded speculations.
Well, you used "real reasons" as clickbait and i think my guess is as good as anything else
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.
