Following a String of Agonizing Setbacks, LPGA Sensation Lexi Thompson’s Future Is Very Much at Risk

LPGA Tour golfers bid adieu to the last major tournament of the thrilling season just last week. While many star players managed to display their skills with precision, American star Lexi Thompson, wasn’t one of them. She conceded 7 over par at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open which resulted in her fifth missed cut of the season.

Thus, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that 2023 has been a downhill battle for the golf icon. This raises concerns for the star who has time and again proved how exceptionally she can tame the greens. More so, these unsettling times point towards a major setback down the road. With that, let us delve into the details of what this possible complication entails and what is Thompson’s outlook toward the same.

Thompson has so far had a sporadic play in a disordered 2023. Despite a solid start to the season with a tie for third at the Saudi Ladies International, the 28-year-old has faced five missed cuts. However, that isn’t the surprising part of her career; rather the fact that she has only had eight starts on LPGA Tour this season.

Now, these numbers wouldn’t have been a matter of concern if not for the fact that the LPGA star faces a serious possibility of losing a full card, per Golf Channel. Currently, the Florida native ranks 157th in the Race to the CME Globe, which is the method to determine player status since 2021 on the LPGA Tour.
