Lexi Thompson is one of the most popular and successful players on the LPGA Tour, with 11 wins, including one major title. She is also known for her social media presence, where she often shares glimpses of her life on and off the course. 

Recently, Lexi participated in the Shriners Children’s Open, a PGA Tour event, as part of a charity initiative. She played alongside PGA Tour pros Kevin Na, Charley Hoffman, and Maverick McNealy in the pro-am tournament, and also hit the ceremonial first tee shot on Thursday. However, while the golfer received a positive response from fans and fellow golfers alike, she seems to be making hints at a rivaling tour.

Is Lexi Thompson joining LIV Golf?

Thompson’s latest Instagram post might have raised some eyebrows among her LPGA peers and fans. On Thursday, the 28-year-old posted a photo of herself wearing a black dress, with the caption “Hey Miami”. The photo was taken at the LIV nightclub, a famous venue in Miami Beach.

Why is this significant? LIV nightclub is currently in a legal battle with LIV Golf. The new women’s golf tour that was announced earlier this year, claims to be a “revolutionary” tour that will offer more opportunities and prize money for golfers. However, LIV nightclub alleges that LIV Golf is infringing on its trademark and reputation, and has filed a lawsuit to put a stop to it.
