Lexi Thompson joins forces with Luke Donald as The Crystal Cup goes live

On May 2nd, Lexi Thompson announced her involvement in the inaugural Crystal Cup 2025. She is the brand ambassador for this amateur tournament, which is taking place in several locations. It featured a diverse 940 group of 1880 players. Thompson is collaborating with Luke Donald on this big project, and recently she shared an update on the tournament.

On May 17, the golfer reshared an Instagram story of the Crystal Cup official page. In the story, it was confirmed that the first amateur round of this tournament will begin at Georgetown in Texas. This will be one of 13 local qualifying events for which players can register. The page also informs fans that they should not miss this opportunity to play alongside golf greats.

The message from Crystal Cup's official page read:

"Don't miss the chance to play alongside golf legends @lukedonald and @lexi"

Here's a look at Thompson's story:

Both golfers will likely be in Texas for the event; however, no reports have backed up this statement yet.

Lexi Thompson's participation in this tournament demonstrates that now that she is a semi-retired player, she has time for large endeavors such as this.

The Crystal Cup competition is a collaboration between Crystal Cruises and Troon Golf. The winner will get the ultimate prize of a 29-night cruise from Singapore to Tokyo aboard the Crystal Symphony.

Thompson revealed all of this in her caption of the announcement post for this tournament, which read:

"In my career, I’ve always aimed for the exceptional — and that’s exactly why I’m proud to partner with @crystalcruises for the launch of The Crystal Cup, a premier amateur golf tournament unlike any other. Thirteen qualifying events. One unforgettable final."

The caption continued:

"The ultimate prize? A 29-night voyage with Crystal, where every detail reflects the pinnacle of refined travel. Discover more about the tournament and what sets Crystal apart."
