It was expected that Lexi Thompson would be away from the course for a while when she teed up for the last time as a full-time professional. Having wrapped up her 2024 season at the Grant Thornton Invitational in December, she soon got on with her personal life and announced a New Year’s Day engagement to her boyfriend, Max Provost. But just over a month later, she was back swinging the golf club at the Founders Open for a special reason.
The 11-time LPGA Tour champion was in action at the Bradenton Country Club, having wasted little time to say yes to the opportunity to play at the historic event. She said, “The Founders are the reason why we’re able to be out here today and to be on the LPGA Tour,” said Thompson. “Those are the women that founded the Tour, so we’re lucky and honored to be able to tee it up here. And this is only about three hours from my home, so definitely an easy trip. I definitely plan on playing a few more times this year.” However, after she finished T13 at the event, she stated that she would be taking some time again.
In an Instagram post, she wrote, “Was a solid week, the first week back with a T13 finish; time to celebrate big 30 tomorrow 🙈 and have some weeks off!” But guess what? It turns out February has had a lot more in store for her than her birthday.
This was the first Valentine’s Day for Lexi Thompson as Max Provost’s fiancé. Provost made a dreamy proposal on New Year’s during their trip to Whistler, making this year’s day of love a little more special. A few hours ago, the 30-year-old uploaded a selfie with Provost on Instagram and wrote, “Valentine for life.” She also shared a picture of herself in a beautiful red dress on her official Instagram account, with the caption, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
The day was filled with love, laughter, and the kind of joy that comes from sharing these special moments with those who mean the most. The couple once again did manage to steal the hearts of their fans, and why would they not? Have you seen how adorable they look together? What do you think about them?
