‘Those Arms…’ ‘Beautiful Lady’: Lexi Thompson Leaves Fans Dumbfounded With Latest Social Update

By

Lexi Thompson has crafted herself as the greatest youngster to ever grace the sport of golf. This star golfer joined the LPGA Tour at a very young age and became an inspiration to women’s golf players around the globe. This Florida-based golfer is also a fitness freak and keeps on impressing her fans with her brutal workout updates over social media.

However, playing golf at her best is not just a natural talent but also requires an intense level of training. Her recent Instagram post created an insane buzz, leaving her followers enthralled.

Recently, she took to social media to share a few glimpses of her fitness schedule. Her recent posts said, “Be stronger than your excuses,” in a way encouraged the viewers to start their fitness journey. Her workout is largely focused on building strength in the glutes and posterior chain, which makes sense because the glutes are the engine of your golf swing.

Thompson uses a mix of moves with and without equipment to maintain a balanced workout. A few of her preferred pieces of equipment are sleds, resistance bands, bosu balls, foam rollers, dumbbells, etc. She dedicates herself to working on her lower body for strength and speed. Additionally, she prefers exercises like sled pushes, plyo squats, and deadlifts, or movements that force her to work from the ground up. The young golfer pushes to be 5% better every day. Now that’s a goal

Looking bold in her black gym outfit, this American golf player received a lot of love from her fans.

Tiger Woods wins the 2024 Bob Jones Award – the USGA’s highest honor – with the 15-time major winner set to receive the prize at this year’s US Open

By

Tiger Woods has been named as the recipient of this year’s Bob Jones Award by the USGA.

The Bob Jones Award is the highest honor from the USGA that recognizes his commitment to sportsmanship and respect for golf’s traditions.

‘This award goes beyond playing performance, recognizing the lasting impact of one person’s journey that has forever changed the image and growth of golf,’ said Mike Whan, the CEO of the USGA.

‘There are very few who stand alongside Tiger Woods in terms of on-course accomplishments, and he is in a class of his own when it comes to the impact he has made on the game and future generations who will play it.’

Woods is used to being honored for his performances on the course, where he has won 15 majors among his 82 career victories on the PGA Tour.

The 48-year-old Woods was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2022, and he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Donald Trump in 2019.

Woods is a nine-time USGA champion, winning three straight U.S. Junior Amateurs, followed by three straight U.S. Amateurs, and then the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach (2000), Bethpage Black (2002) and Torrey Pines (2008).

‘Bob Jones was a pillar of our game because of the integrity with which he played it, and I’m truly humbled to receive the award that bears his name and join the many who have received it before me who continue his legacy,’ Woods said in a statement.

Jones won the Grand Slam in 1930 when it was comprised of the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British Open and British Amateur. He later co-founded Augusta National Golf Club and created the Masters.

Woods will be honored June 12 during the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina

Off the golf course, Woods launched what now is called the TGR Foundation that emphasizes educational opportunities, along with STEM-based learning at the TGR Learning Lab in California. He also has started a golf course design firm. One of his courses in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hosted a PGA Tour event last fall.

Woods will be honored June 12 during the US Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Previous winners include Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, Mickey Wright and Ben Hogan, and former President George H.W. Bush.

Is Lexi Thompson Married to Gerrod Chadwell? LPGA Star’s Relationship Rumors Debunked

By

Lexi Thompson has been notoriously private about her dating life. That, however, did little to stop the rumor mill. As the 11-time LPGA Tour winner once again made the headlines ahead of Capital One’s “The Match,” fans have been asking the same question. However, there is a new name that has been thrown in the mix this time: Gerrod Chadwell.

Chadwell is the Texas A&M head coach of the women’s golf program. A three-time American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, he won the SEC Championship with the Aggies last year. He is indeed a member of the golf community, but is he Lexi Thompson’s partner?

Has Lexi Thompson tied the knot secretly?
The internet has been rife with Thompson’s dating rumors. In fact, multiple outlets also claimed that the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Champion had married the Texas A&M head coach away from the public eye. Unfortunately, as it turns out, that’s not the case at all!

Contrarily, Gerrod Chadwell is, in fact, married to Stacy Lewis. Lewis, a 13-time winner on the LPGA Tour, tied the knot with Chadwell in 2016. Moreover, the two-time Major winner also has a daughter, Chesnee Lynn Chadwell, who was born in October.

The confusion seems to have arisen first after the Solheim Cup. It was when the veteran golfer was the US team captain. Lexi Thompson, after qualifying for the patriotic showdown through the Rolex World Ranking, traveled to the Spanish greens along with Lewis.

https://x.com/aggiewomensgolf/status/1402715829007945733?s=20

As for Lexi Thompson, she is still single. The 11-time LPGA Tour winner hasn’t spoken about her dating life publicly. So, there has been no verifiable information about her current or previous partners. Her romantic history may be a mystery to everyone. But we do know that for Thompson, her family remains very close to her heart.

Golf is in the DNA of the Thompson family
Interestingly, the 29-year-old is not the only golfer from the Thompson family. Her two brothers, Curtis Thompson and Nicholas Thompson, were both golfers. Her father, Scott Thompson, who introduced the star to the game, was also a pro golfer. All of them plied their trade on the PGA Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour. Lexi Thompson, for a significant part of her career, has relied on ‘family wisdom’ on the greens as well.

Nicholas has been in her bag for a long time. In fact, he was caddying for the LPGA star in Finca Cortesin during the Solheim Cup as well. In his absence, though, Scott Thompson filed for the position. That, however, will change this year, as the LPGA Pro finally settled on Colton Heisey as her looper for the 2024 season.

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie has game interrupted as woman tries to arrange a date for her granddaughter

By

Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, is certainly growing up as he prepares to become a professional golfer but another indicator happened in a different way as a grandmother attempted to set him up on a date with her granddaughter.

The teenager is currently competing in a pre-qualifying round for the Cognizant Classic and shot 16-over 86 at the Lost Lake Golf Club in Florida, not far away from where his father regularly practices in Jupiter, FL.

Video thumbnail

It’s believed that the senior woman pulled her granddaughter out of school so they could attend the golf event in the hope that he would “notice her” and become enamored at first sight and take her out on a date.

How did the fans interrupt him?
But as Woods attempted to qualify for his first ever PGA Tour event, a crowd member disrupted his flow. In fact, the crowd regularly interrupted him even though his father wasn’t present, as everyone ones to get a big closer to Tiger Woods.

To summarize how the atmosphere was, as he walked off from a hole, he said to his caddie, Jacob “JJ” Kutner, “That was some round, huh?”

One fan interrupted him by rushing to him with a pen and with a copy of How I Play Golf, the book written by his father, to get it signed but an official dismissed the request to do so.

Nonetheless, he should qualify for any PGA Tour pre-qualifier as Charlie Woods holds a +3 handicap index with the Florida State Golf Association although he didn’t manage to do so this time with the 50 crowd members no doubt putting him off.

That means it hasn’t been a good week for the Woods’ as his father pulled out of the Genesis Invitational recently due to suffering from flu-like symptoms and an undisclosed illness as he attempts to return to the big time.

Charlie Woods’s Mistreatment Leaves Paige Spiranac Boiling With Rage; Attacks ‘Constant Media Coverage’ in Latest Tweet

By

Charlie Woods can do with a lot fewer eyes on him. None other than Paige Spiranac, the celebrity influencer, feels so. The 30-year-old golf beauty took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her dissatisfaction toward the golf community after the younger Woods failed in his bid to qualify for a PGA Tour event. But the matter was made worse because of an undue amount of attention lavished on the 15-year-old.

Spiranac feels the golf world needs to cut him some slack. “How about we let Charlie Woods develop his game without constant media coverage. Golf is mentally challenging enough without all the added eyeballs on him and pressure.” Woods Jr. carded 16-over 86 in the first round of the pre-qualifier for the Cognizant Classic (earlier known as the Honda Classic) in Hobe Sound, Florida. The top five players and ties advanced to the Monday qualifying round of the tournament.

The 15-year-old, who has regularly appeared with his father, Tiger Woods, at the PNC Championship, started his round with an 11-over 47 in the front nine. But a costly 12 on the par-4 seventh hole sealed his fate. Although Charlie Woods made 11 pars, that wasn’t enough to save the day, which also included 2 bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine.

His round was closely monitored, with every shot being put under the scanner on social media. Paige Spiranac feels it’s not right to put that much pressure on a 15-year-old golfer, especially when it was technically a qualifier for a qualifier event, and stated, “It was a pre qualifier for the Monday qualifier. A lot of juniors play in pre quals and Mondays for experience. It’s not uncommon at all.”

Teenage Woods’ swing was a matter of much debate, considering how closely it resembles his father’s. Moreover, Woods Jr. bombed a 300-yard drive at the 2023 PNC Championship and has been winning silverware for his school as well. All that led to huge anticipation around Charlie Woods. “Don’t compare him to me,” said Tiger Woods on an episode of Another Golf Podcast. “He’s not me, he’s Charlie, okay? He’s going to be his own person. Whatever road he goes down, he’s going to go down his own road, and he’s going to create his own path.”

The 15-time Major champion may have made this clear. However, carrying the Woods name and being in the spotlight, with every move he makes being scrutinized, is something Charlie might just have to live with. So, after Paige Spiranac expressed her thoughts on the treatment Charlie Woods is getting, another user compared his situation to Gary Nicklaus.

“For Tiger Woods’ son to attempt a career as a professional golfer is fraught with unfair comparisons and a virtually impossible mountain to climb… Just ask Gary Nicklaus,” they wrote. Notably, it wasn’t just the media coverage that Woods Jr. had to battle, as on-ground reports revealed an ugly show from the spectators.

Unruly fans add to Charlie Woods’ woes
First off, Tiger Woods wasn’t there; the 15-time Major champion recently withdrew from the Genesis Invitational – a tournament he hosts – with the flu that later turned out to be influenza. Mother Elin Nordegren was present, though. With all the attention Charlie’s getting, there were around 50 fans tagging the 15-year-old, completely disregarding requests from field marshals. The Palm Beach Post reported that one fan even retorted, “Who are you? The fire marshal?”

There was no dearth of autograph hunters as well, with some taking Tiger Woods’ book to get a sign from his son. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence, though – people wanting his autograph, that is. Earlier, his school coach also revealed that the 15-year-old draws a huge crowd whenever news of him teeing up gets out. But this time, only one of his friends and two security details were there to protect him instead of his entire Benjamin School team. Nevertheless, Woods Jr. maintained a graceful appearance that would perhaps get a pat from Paige Spiranac.

Paige Spiranac looks stunning with 12 pounds less and showing her natural hair color. The golfer and influencer, reigning supreme on social media in the elite sports world, hosted a Q&A session with her followers on her Instagram account.

Upon noticing the change in her appearance, someone in the forum asked about her dietary regimen and exercise routine to maintain a figure like hers. Paige immediately felt flattered by the question and, with the freshness and naturalness that characterize her, not only shared that she has recently lost 12 pounds, but also revealed in a video how she has achieved it and how others can too.

Paige Spiranac flattered to inspire others
In a recent interview with The U.S. Sun at The SI Invitational, Spiranac expressed her delight in seeing others follow in her career footsteps, stating: “It’s unbelievably flattering that everyone sees the path that I have taken and have been really successful doing so, and they want to do the same thing.” She mentioned names like Bri Teresi, Grace Charis, Waiyi Chan, and Karin Hart who have also gained fame by posting similar content to hers.

Spiranac disclosed that her initial aim was to encourage more women to take up golf: “When I first began, I was pioneering without a clear path, so I had to navigate my own way through. My ultimate goal in all of this was to create a more inclusive golfing community and to see more women involved in the sport.” Her efforts have undeniably played a part in opening up more opportunities for women within the golfing industry.

Despite the rising success of fellow golfing influencers, Spiranac stressed that she doesn’t let competitiveness influence her mindset. She voiced her support for other women in the field, stating, “Although it can be competitive and one might strive to be at the top, I try not to adopt that mindset. I prioritize a healthier perspective, aiming to see more women participating in the sport. I truly appreciate their contributions.”

Charlie has previously competed with his dad in the two-player PNC Championship, which features teams comprised of a major champion and a family member. In 2021, Tiger and Charlie finished second in the event, reported ESPN.

In addition to Charlie, Tiger shares daughter Sam Alexis, 16, with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren. In December 2023, she also joined the duo at the PNC Championship when she served as her dad’s caddie for the first time at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.

In a video jointly shared on the PGA Tour and PNC Championship’s Instagram pages, Sam stood next to her father and chatted with him as she cleaned one of his clubs.

“For the first time, Sam Woods is caddying for her father today ❤,” the post’s caption read.

“I just love being with them and seeing what they’re doing, what they’re capable of doing – the joys, just the shifts of interest,” the golf legend said of his children in 2011. “It’s just fun. We have a great time together.”
