Lexi Thompson turned 30-years-old in early February. However, the ace golfer is "officially" celebrating the milestone this week.

Thompson is very active on her social media. She recently took to her Instagram stories to share her plans for the week with her 602K followers. The US golfer appears to be celebrating her 30th birthday on a cruise. She shared a video of the blue water.

"Now it's officially time to celebrate my 30th !! #cruisetime," Lexi Thompson wrote in the caption.

Thompson announced last year that she would be taking a step back from full-time golf from 2025 onwards. She will play in only selective events from this year. As she prepares for her upcoming wedding with fiancé Max Provost, Thompson is making the most of her downtime this year.

She recently spent a fun night in Miami at the I Do Fashion Week, and sported a turquoise dress at the event. Provost had proposed to her on January 1st this year amid the snow capped mountains of Whistler, Canada.
