Overview

  • Thompson pulled out of a 36-hole U.S. Women’s Open qualifier at Wilderness Country Club in Naples, Florida.
  • Her 19 straight Open appearances date to a 2007 debut at age 12 and the run is tied with Amy Yang for the longest active streak.
  • She can still qualify by winning an LPGA event or by reaching the top 75 in the Rolex Rankings by May 25.
  • She is entered in the Mizuho Americas Open and the Kroger Queen City Championship, and the ShopRite LPGA is the final event before Riviera.
  • The 11-time LPGA winner is ranked No. 94 after a T-12 at last month’s Chevron Championship, following a 2024 step back from full-time play.
