"Hey everybody, just want to say I will be taking a break from social media. If I post, it will be from my management team for me," she wrote on Instagram. "I'm too involved with it, and to read some of the hurtful things being said to me lately isn't fair, and I'm not dealing with it. Thank you to my true fans out there. I will be back on, but I'm going to be focusing on me right now and my life. Thanks for understanding."

Lexi Thompson reveals if things have changed after semi-retirement.

During the Chevron Championship, Lexi Thompson talked about being a semi-retired player and how things have changed for her as a golfer.

"I wouldn't say a big difference," Thompson said. "I'm the same person. Golf-wise, maybe a touch because I'm not playing as much. When I'm still at home, I'm still practicing and training. I love working out. I'm still striving to be better for when I do tee it up, because every time I tee it up, I still want to win."

"It's not like I'm just going out here to show face. I'm still very competitive, and yeah, but just trying to enjoy the few times I will play," she added.

Thompson continued further and said the biggest difference is that there were more vacations for her. She also mentioned that it's her 15th year on the LPGA Tour, and hence, she is enjoying her off time and practices wherever she can.
