Lexi Thompson has been a golf superstar since she was 12 years old. She turned pro at 15. But in May 2024, Thompson shocked the sports world by announcing that she was retiring from the full-time LPGA Tour schedule at the end of the season. She explained that her “No. 1 priority” was to “settle down, get married, have a family,” and she wanted to see what else life had to offer.

Then the golf star kicked off 2025 with some amazing personal news. On January 1, she announced her engagement to Max Provost. He proposed during a snowy holiday trip to Whistler, British Columbia. Lexi shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of her “mystery man” down on one knee. “I was so shocked when he proposed to me. I was not expecting it,” she shared.

She also noted that he was “way too calm and collected”. And her reaction was: “‘Oh my gosh, yes! ‘ I didn’t even think about it. I didn’t even look at the ring. I’m like, ‘Yes, yes, yes! ‘”Thompson later recalled the moment, telling Golf Monthly, “It was totally unexpected, but the right time in my life”.  But who actually is Max Provost?

Max’s life is completely outside of the public spotlight, just opposite the life Lexi had. He attended the Out-of-Door Academy in Sarasota, Florida, where he graduated in 2014. After high school, Max earned a bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the College of Business at Florida State University. He was a multi-sport athlete in high school and played both varsity lacrosse and football, and as per his high school athletic profiles, Provost stands about 6’0″ tall. And there is no public information about his religious beliefs.

When did Lexi Thompson meet Max Provost?

Though Lexi is always overjoyed about their relationship and even said, “I don’t think I’ve ever met somebody like Max. He treats me so special and loves me every single day… I’ve prayed for a man like him,” but the couple has kept their relationship mostly private. The exact details of how and when they first met are not publicly known.

Fans, however, started putting the pieces together in the fall of 2024. Max first appeared as Lexi’s “mystery man” and walked the red carpet with her at the Solheim Cup gala in September 2024. But three months later, in December 2024, Max’s role became much clearer when he served as Lexi’s caddie during the Hero World Challenge pro-am. There were several photos from the event available that show the two embracing on the course. This signaled a serious and supportive partnership.

And the relationship was made official on January 1, 2025, with their engagement, and the couple is now reportedly planning a wedding for March 2026.

What does Max Provost do for a living?

Max Provost has built a successful career in medical technology. As per his LinkedIn profile, he works as a sales professional based in Florida. He works as a Clinical Sales Representative in a company that manufactures robots for clinical use. And if you are looking for details about Max’s family, you will not find much. Max Provost is mostly a private person and not a public figure.

His net worth is estimated to be between $150,000 and $200,000 in 2025. And this wealth comes entirely from his own career, as he does not have any public brand endorsements. Reports show that experienced clinical sales reps can earn an “on-target” income of $153,859 annually, which includes an estimated base salary of $90,576 with a $63,283 bonus.

And fans who are looking to follow Max on social media will have a difficult time as he doesn’t have any Instagram, Facebook, or X accounts. His only known online profile is a professional LinkedIn account that is completely related to his career.

And all the public news and moments about the couple are shared through Lexi Thompson’s official Instagram account, @lexi. Thompson was the one who shared the beautiful photos of their engagement, which included the picture of Max on one knee in the snow and a close-up of her stunning diamond ring.
