The American needed to finish the tournament inside the top 25 in order to remain out in front.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Korda has now been dethroned as the World No.1 by Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul, who finished T30 on 1-over par at the AIG Women’s Open<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Thitikul will now become World No.1 when the Rolex Rankings<\/a> update on Monday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n She has only been World No.1 once before.\u00a0<\/p>\n That came for just weeks in November 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n Her official first name is Atthaya but she is better known as Jeeno.<\/p>\n The update of Korda losing top spot in the world has stunned a number of golf fans on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n That’s because the American held a huge lead atop the rankings after winning seven times on the LPGA in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jeeno Thitikul<\/p>\n Thitikul<\/a>, 22, has only won once on the LPGA<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n That came at the Mizuho Americas Open in May.<\/p>\n It marked her fifth LPGA title.\u00a0<\/p>\n Thitikul has yet to win a major despite a number of close calls, none more so than this season when losing a playoff to Grace Kim at the Evian Championship last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n Korda won seven times on the LPGA in 2024 to take her tally to 15 career wins on the circuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n It saw her build a huge lead in the Rolex Rankings.<\/p>\n Korda moved back to World No.1 for the sixth time of her career in March 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the two-time major champion has looked a shadow of her best this season without a single win to her name.<\/p>\n As a result it has seen her lose a lot of points and fall back to second in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n Korda has been World No.1 for a total of 108 weeks in her career.<\/p>\n Thitikul will only be narrowly clear of Korda when the rankings update on Monday so the American will have a chance to return to the top of world order once again at the CPKC Women’s Open in two weeks time.\u00a0<\/p>\n Subscribe to our Newsletter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nelly Korda’s streak of 71 weeks as Ladies World No.1 is over after finishing well down the field…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-42633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jeeno](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/jeeno12.jpg\")
