Despite stepping away from a full competitive schedule last year, Lexi Thompson is set to compete at this week's KPMG Women's PGA Championship from Thursday onwards. Ahead of the start of the Major championship, Thompson posted an image of herself on Instagram.

After playing the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship Pro-Am on Wednesday, Lexi Thompson hit the gym for a workout. The 30-year-old shared a mirror selfie of her flexing after an intense session.

Dressed in a grey tank top and black shorts, Thompson confidently showed off her toned arms and strong legs. The image was a true testament to the work she puts in off the course to be able to battle it out in a world-class field.

With two fist bump emojis as the caption, here's a look at Lexi Thompson's Instagram Story (via Instagram @lexi):

She stunned in Puma's Softride Enz Evo Molt Met shoes. Thompson frequently talks and shares updates about her fitness journey on her social media platforms. The healthy habit has been a key factor in her performance on the golf course, from helping her hit powerful drivers to more consistent ball striking.

The 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship will be her 15th appearance in the event as she seeks to make her 14th cut. With two top-5 finishes in the event in the past, Thompson seeks to earn her second Major championship title this week.
