She wore an all-black two-piece outfit and was captured seated on a workout bench in a gym. The fitness enthusiast also rocked a pair of the new Puma Velocity Nitro running shoes in a striking blue-gold color.

Lexi Thompson made her eighth LPGA Tour start of the year at the Dow Championship last month. This year, she has competed in three major championship tournaments but has now taken some time off the course and will not tee off in the fourth major tournament of the year. She competed in the 2025 Chevron Championship and tied for 14th place but unfortunately missed the cut at the U.S. Women’s Open after scoring 3-over.

Last month, the 11-time LPGA Tour winner teed off at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and tied for 12th with 5-over. She has yet to claim her first LPGA Tour win of the season.

Notably, Thompson has yet to lift the Evian Championship trophy since turning pro in 2010. She came close to winning the tournament in 2015 but fell to second place, six strokes behind Lydia Ko, who snagged the title.
