Bentley Motors Website: Extraordinary Journeys: Lexi Thompson

PROFESSIONAL GOLFER

The origin of Lexi’s competitive spirit could be traced back to her days challenging her two older brothers on the golf course. She played basketball and soccer as a pre-teenager, but her natural talent for golf was undeniable. Still an amateur after qualifying for the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open, Lexi won the U.S. Girls Junior at age 13. Her final accolade as an amateur was her semi-final finish at the 2009 U.S. Women’s Amateur.

Since turning professional, Lexi has won 11 LPGA Tour events including one major – the 2014 ANA Inspiration. In 2017, Lexi was awarded the LPGA’s Vare Trophy given to the player with the lowest scoring average of the season. And, in 2018, Lexi won the prestigious and LPGA season ending CME Group Tour Championship.

WELLNESS AMBASSADOR

As a world class athlete, Lexi takes her commitment to mind and body wellness seriously. Her training regime is legendary, and gives Lexi her competitive edge with superior strength, speed and flexibility. Her training also yields important mental strength benefits, which helps Lexi manage the highs and lows of professional life in an individual sport.

As a Florida native and professional golfer, Lexi knows the importance of quality skin care. In July 2021, she launched Lexi Skin – a full line of skin products designed to help restore healthy, youthful – looking skin at an accessible price point. Lexi Skin products are 100% certified cruelty free and never tested on animals. Lexi’s new venture will further support her long-term commitment to Breast Cancer awareness with annual donations to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

OLYMPIAN

Lexi feels a special sense of pride and honor anytime she gets to represent her country in competition. For individual sport athletes, the opportunity to play on your national team is especially gratifying. Lexi embraces the multi-cultural event and especially the chance to meet other world class athletes from different disciplines from all over the world.

After a long hiatus, golf was reintroduced at the 2016 Summer games in Rio where Lexi had the unique experience of having her father Scott as her caddy. Lexi wore her country’s colors again in Japan this summer and is already thinking about the US Team in Paris 2024.
