Lexi Thompson has hinted that she could tee it up on tour next year despite announcing her retirement earlier this year.
In May, Thompson declared that this would be her last year competing on the LPGA Tour at the age of 29.
Since making her breakthrough at the 2007 US Women’s Open as a 12-year-old, she has won 11 LPGA Tour titles including one major championship.
And, according to Thompson, we might not have seen the last of her in competitive action.
“Yeah, probably be a little bit of emotion this week,” she said. “Like I said before when I made the announcement it’s just from full-time golf. I may tee it up a few times next year.
“A matter of when and what tournaments I don’t know. I am just going to take time for myself and take it day by day.”

Thompson won the season-ending event in 2018 for win number ten on the American circuit.
The three-time Solheim Cup winner defeated current world No.1 Nelly Korda by four shots.
But this week’s appearance will be much different, as Thompson bids farewell, for now, with family watching on and a few surprises for the fans.
