Can Lexi Thompson bounce back stronger after her injury break, or is this a career setback?

Lexi Thompson’s recent injury has raised concerns about the future of her professional golf career, but it may be too soon to count her out. The American star will be missing several key events, including the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship, sidelining her from a chance to compete for the Player of the Year title.

However, Thompson remains optimistic, sharing on Instagram that she plans to return to competition after four to five weeks of recovery. If all goes according to plan, fans may see her back in action at the TOTO Japan Classic in early November, giving her just enough time to recover and regain her form.

The NW Arkansas Championship, while a missed opportunity for Thompson, is unlikely to be her last event of the season. Should her recovery proceed smoothly, she still has the chance to participate in two more November tournaments, in addition to the Grant Thornton Invitational in December. While the injury is undoubtedly a setback, it may not signal the end of her full-time professional career. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether Lexi Thompson will bounce back stronger or if this marks the beginning of a career transition. Fans will be eagerly awaiting her return to the course to see if she can reclaim her spot among the top golfers in the world.
