Lexi Thompson's Next Chapter: Balancing Golf and Family Life

Golf star Lexi Thompson, at 29, is deciding to step back from full-time golf after the 2024 Solheim Cup. She's had a rollercoaster career, with eight LPGA wins and heartbreaking losses, like the 2021 U. S. Women’s Open. The media and fans have been a mixed bag for her.
