Ahead of the team event this week, the duo was asked how it felt to play a team event in the regular season. Saying that "golf needs" such tournaments, Thompson explained how the working dynamic between her and Khang was.

"I think it's amazing. I think it's what golf needs. Golf needs more events like this. I also think fans really enjoy seeing us out there. It's not as intense. Of course we're still doing our routines and wanting to make birdies and playing well, but we have that more fun dynamic, especially with Megan. We're always laughing and just having a good time out there," she said via ASAP Sports.

Megan Khang "100%" agreed with Thompson and mentioned that "team golf" was always "fun".

"Yeah, I 100% agree with Lexi. I think this kind of week is -- especially after coming from last week of a head banger, it's definitely -- at least for me personally, it's a nice light, refreshing not just for the season, but in general. Team golf is always fun. We don't get to do it a ton because golf is an individual sport?"

Lexi Thompson had partnered with Brooke Henderson last year and had placed T8. The last time Khang had played at the Dow Championship was in 2023. Back then, she had teamed up with Alison Lee and finished T13.
