Who is Lexi Thompson’s brother Curtis? All you need to know about the golfer who recently earned his PGA Tour card

Curtis Thompson, the younger brother of renowned golfer Lexi Thompson, has been making his mark in professional golf. Curtis, along with his sister and elder brother Nicholas, grew up in a family deeply rooted in the sport. While Lexi became the youngest golfer ever to qualify for the US Women’s Open, Curtis followed his own path, turning

professional in 2014 after graduating from Louisiana State University. Although his early years in professional golf were challenging, Curtis has earned over $420,000 in prize money from various competitions.

In 2023, Curtis earned his PGA Tour card in dramatic fashion during the RSM Classic qualifiers. He secured his spot by shooting an impressive 4-under par 66, clinching his place with a birdie on the final playoff hole. This marks his return to the PGA Tour after an earlier attempt in 2022, which ended in disappointment with only one top-10 finish. Curtis’ journey to regaining his tour card is a testament to his persistence and dedication to the sport.

Curtis has shown significant improvement this season, competing on the Korn Ferry Tour and preparing for the next stage of the PGA Tour Q-School. His determination has brought him closer to achieving the same level of success as his siblings, including his sister Lexi, who has inspired many with her accomplishments on the LPGA Tour. Curtis also participated in the Honda Classic earlier this year, although he didn’t make the cut. Despite these setbacks, he remains focused on his goals and continues to rise through the ranks.

While Curtis is often compared to Lexi due to her tremendous success, he takes pride in her achievements without letting the comparisons affect him. As he stated in an interview, he is incredibly proud of what his siblings have accomplished and has learned to handle the pressure that comes with being part of a high-achieving golf family. Together, Lexi, Nicholas, and Curtis Thompson have established themselves as a golfing dynasty, continuing to make an impact in the world of professional golf.
