Rising star Pongsapak “Fifa” Laopakdee is among seven national golfers, who will compete at the upcoming Southeast Asian (SEA) Games after the Thailand Golf Association (TGA) announced its list of players for the biennial tournament on Friday.<\/p>\n
Pongsapak became the first player from Thailand to win the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship title in Dubai last month, earning coveted invitations to the Masters Tournament and the British Open next year.<\/p>\n
Pongsapak is part of the four-player men’s team, which also includes Prarin Sarnsamut, who was a member of the Thai team that finished seventh at the recent World Amateur Team Championship 2025, Thanawin Lee and Warut Boonrod.<\/p>\n
The women’s players are Prim Prachnakorn, Pimpisa Rubrong and Krittichanya Kaoephattanasakul.<\/p>\n
Prim and Pimpisa recently claimed the women’s team silver medal at the 2025 Asian Youth Games in Bahrain while Krittichanya won the women’s team title in the Singapore Open Amateur 2025 and was runner-up at the Junior Golf World Cup 2025.<\/p>\n
“Our golfers have been practising hard and competing in international tournaments regularly with some great results. I believe the Thai golf team will have good results at the SEA Games as well,” said TGA president Rangsarit Luksitanon.<\/p>\n
There are four gold medals on offer in the 33rd SEA Games golf competition, including the men’s and women’s individual events and men’s and women’s team events.<\/p>\n
Thailand won two golds in the men’s and women’s team events and a silver in the women’s individual competition at the 2023 edition in Cambodia.<\/p>\n
The golf competitions will be played at Siam Country Club Rolling Hill in Chon Buri from Dec 11-14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PUBLISHED : 8 Nov 2025 at 05:55 \u00a0 Small \u00a0 Medium \u00a0 Large Pongsapak ‘Fifa’ Laopakdee poses with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,588,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-269942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sport","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
