The 28-year-old Ochoa confirmed her decision in a short statement after media reports in Mexico said she was about to step away from the game.
Ochoa said she would hold a press conference on Friday to explain her decision.
"Lorena Ochoa confirms her retirement from the LPGA, as news reports in some media have said today,'' her statement said.
"The reasons and more details on the matter will be given by Lorena personally in a press conference on Friday in Mexico City. Lorena will share this news of a new stage in her life with her sponsors, family members and friends.''
The newspaper Reforma said on Tuesday that Ochoa was retiring to concentrate on her family and charities.
Ochoa was married in December to Andres Conesa, the CEO of Aeromexico airline.
He has three children from a previous marriage.
She was set to play next week in the Tres Marias tournament in Morelia, west of Mexico City. It was not clear if she will play there or if it will be her last tournament.
