Lexi Thompson has accepted a sponsor invitation to play in the Shriners Children's Open.
Thompson, 28, accepted a sponsor invitation to play in the Shriners Children's Open, which begins Oct. 12 in Las Vegas. An official announcement is expected to be made Wednesday.
"I'm hopeful that my ability to play with the men next week at the Shriners Children's Open sends a great message to the young women that you can chase your dream regardless of how hard it is," Thompson said in a statement."I'm grateful to Shriners Children's for this opportunity to spend the week alongside these inspirational kids."Thompson is no stranger to making history. At age 12 in 2007, she became the youngest player ever to qualify for the U.S.
Brittany Lincicome was the last woman to play a PGA Tour event, teeing it up at the 2018 Barbasol Championship. Ten years before that, Michelle Wie West played in the 2008 Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. Wie West played in eight PGA Tour events throughout her career. The other women who have played on the tour include Suzy Whaley, who played in the 2003 Greater Hartford Open, and Annika Sorenstam, who played in the 2003 Bank of America Colonial.
