Ahead of the Solheim Cup, the golfers attended the Gala Dinner in chic dresses with their male partners and families, walking the red carpet. While the day was a fun time to spend with organizers, sponsors, and competitors, it allowed a glimpse into the golfers’ personal lives.
One image that stood out was Lexi Thompson’s arrival with a mystery man on the red carpet. The 29-year-old will soon be retiring from professional golf and has previously spoken about discovering that there is more to life, such as family and traveling. Her number one priority is said to be marriage, saying, “I’ll be 30 next year, so settle down, get married, have a family. That’s my No. 1 priority.”
She has previously not divulged any information about her partner and stated as recently as February that she was single. Perhaps things have changed since then, and she may be beginning to live out the life she had planned for herself after retirement. As for her partner at the Gala Dinner, it is unclear who he is. Thompson has yet to speak about the state of her relationship with him.
The Gala Dinner is a staple of the Solheim Cup and takes place each time the Solheim Cup comes around. This time it occurred the day before the opening ceremony which is scheduled on the 12th and will feature country music star Jordan Davis on The Great Lawn. As the Cup is a big tent event in the world of golf, it is always a chance for those involved in the sport to clean up and have a fun evening with their special people.
