Alexis "Lexi" Thompson, an American pro golfer, was born on February 10, 1995. In May 2024, Thompson said that while she would no longer play professional golf full-time, she would continue to play in a few tournaments. She has won 15 professional titles, including the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, defeating Michelle Wie by three strokes.
Thompson turned pro at 15 in 2010. The following year, she became the youngest champion in LPGA Tour history by winning the Navistar LPGA Classic and the second-youngest on the European Tour with her win at the Dubai Ladies Masters. Even as an amateur, she won six events, including the Junior PGA Championships twice, in 2007 and 2009. She was also the youngest golfer in history to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open at 12, a record Lucy Li broke in 2014.
Who is Lexi Thompson’s caddie?
Lexi Thompson’s caddie is Mark Wallington, as per Golf Monthly.
Two weeks after announcing that she would retire from full-time professional golf after the 2024 season, Thompson hired Mark Wallington as her new caddie at the Meijer LPGA Classic in June 2024. However, she will continue to play at a few events.
In an interview with Golf Monthly, Thompson explained why she hired Wallington and how they started collaborating.
"I've known him for a very long time and we’ve always had a very great friendship. We get along so well; just never have worked together," she said.
Before Thompson, Wallington had caddied for Caroline Hedwall, Charley Hull, Emily Kristine Pedersen, Lydia Ko, Carlota Ciganda, Carly Booth, Alice Hewson, Sophie Gustafson, Breanne Loucks, and Anna Nordqvist.
Originally from Warrington, England, Wallington played professional rugby league for Warrington Wolves part-time, as he was also involved in working with the air-conditioning industry. However, he began caddying in 2007, as he got his leg amputated in 2005 due to an injury. (via Golf Monthly)
