    Oh no! She's been one of my fav players for so long! But I respect her decision of course...it must be crazy tough playing week in and week out with such high stakes. Pressure must be insane and it must be so tiring.

      Crazy tough playing ???????? There are people in this world who struggle from day to day to just live.They never get anywhere near high stakes so be very gratefull Lexi but there's
      no way I can feel sorry for someone who's been blessed with so much & denying your supporters at least 10 years more of your skills. Your wrong but I still wish you all the best.

      @@derykhamshaw3362 oh for sure, atheletes are defo priveleged compared to others in the world...i was just talking about it in a sports context - golf is soo mentally taxing and i can understand why she has taken this decision. like she said, it's her 18th us open so she's been in this environment for a long time so it's not surprising that she'd want a change

    If she looking into start an family than don't start after 30 years age. She retire before 30 of age to work with the new family than that is an very good decision.

    Firstly, she’s a net worth of $7M minimum so don’t feel too sorry for her.
    Secondly, as a former PGA golf professional I find this both laughable & sorta insulting.
