Garcia and the resurgent Lexi Thompson demonstrated their prowess, with Thompson finishing tied for third at 6 under.

Now, with a loss on her back, the player prepares for the $8.4M purse, and less to say, the pressure to perform well seems to be at its peak. Here is what awaits the player next.

Lexi Thompson prepares for her big-time PGA Tour event

Lexi Thompson will make her PGA Tour debut next week. The player will play in the Shriners Children’s Open Full Field in Las Vegas on a sponsor’s exemption, becoming the seventh woman to compete on the PGA Tour.

In a Sunday press conference prior to her PGA Tour event, Thompson sat for some questions, answering how her preparation has been, her takeaways from the Solheim Cup, and what positives she plans on bringing to Las Vegas. 

When asked what are some elements of her game that she is going to hope to take into next week, the American pro answered, “Everything really.” Elucidating on her improved gameplay, she added, “My ball striking. I’ll definitely need my top game going into next week.”

Furthermore, she added, “Get that driver more in tune. Didn’t hit it too much on this golf course, but I’m going to need it I’m sure there.” She concluded by adding, “So it will really be all down to ball striking and making those putts when I need it out there.”

Thompson was duly praised for her performance at the 2023 Solheim Cup this season, and after her game and Team USA’s tied defeat, the player has taken some due time to improve her gameplay for her next challenge.
