LPGA star Lexi Thompson has announced she is pregnant with her first child, throwing her US Solheim Cup hopes into serious doubt as she returns to competition this week.
AILexi Thompson has dropped a bombshell. The LPGA star revealed she is expecting her first child - a baby girl - due in February.
Thompson took to social media to share the news, posting a photo alongside husband Max Provost and a sonogram of their daughter. The couple only tied the knot in March at a private estate in Southwest Florida.
Here's where it gets tricky. Thompson is set to tee it up at The Standard Portland Classic this week - her first competitive appearance since withdrawing from a tournament in June with a hip injury.
She's been playing a part-time LPGA schedule as it is. Now, with a pregnancy to manage, her place on the US Solheim Cup team looks seriously doubtful. Just two events remain before selections are finalised.
Whether she can realistically push for a spot is anyone's guess. The timing raises serious questions about her competitive priorities heading into one of golf's most prestigious team events.
