Lexi Thompson confirmed in May of last year that 2024 would be her final season as a full-time competitor. Due to golf's demanding schedule, she decided to participate only in select tournaments. Thompson discussed what she does in her spare time during the Chevron Championship's post-round conference on day two.

Thompson explained how she enjoys "just sitting around" by stating (via ASAP Sports):

"I always say that I should because I probably will be bored, but it's just so nice not doing anything. It's just so nice just sitting around. I mean, I'll work out an hour or two a day and still practice here and there. You know, it's nice to just, I don't know, I'm just going to binge watch a show, just sit on my couch."

She continued to talk about her free time and how she will look to pick up a hobby.

"Never really had the opportunity to do that that much, so it's nice to do that. But I probably will pick up a hobby. I'm looking into maybe volunteering at an animal shelter or something like that. I love animals. Something to keep me busy."

Thompson also earned praise recently from PGA Tour golfer Max Homa, who was in the crowd for the Chevron Championship.
