Lexi Thompson will become the seventh female to compete on the PGA Tour when she tees it up at this week’s Shriners Children’s Open.
But why now for Lexi? In this edition of the Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav, the two senior writers discuss why Thompson, in the midst of her toughest LPGA season, will tee it up against the men, and if they think she’ll make the cut.
