However, Thompson has another, even more unexpected post-retirement plan in mind—starting a family. Known for keeping her personal life private, Thompson recently revealed in a press conference at St. Andrews that she’s prioritizing settling down. “I’ll be 30 next year, so settle down, get married, have a family. That’s my No. 1 priority,” she shared, marking a profound shift from her competitive golfing career.
