Jeeno Thitikul’s eighth career LPGA title was a special one. The 23-year-old world No. 1 delighted the home crowd at the Honda LPGA Thailand by clinching a one-shot victory over Japan’s Chizzy Iwai.
Thitikul becomes the third Thai player to win the event, following in the footsteps of former No. 1 Ariya Jutanugran (2021) and Patty Tavatanakit (2024). It marked Thitikul’s first time playing the event as the world’s top-ranked player.
“Obviously all the Thai fans should be really proud because they always shouting like could you please win Honda LPGA. I was like I tried. I tried so bad,” said Thitikul. “Obviously finally get it done and hopefully they can be happy and proud about it.”
Thitikul won $270,000 for her efforts, bringing her career money total to $17,704,399 in only 86 starts. Now in her fifth season on the LPGA, Thitikul ranks seventh on the LPGA’s career money list, behind Annika Sorenstam, Lydia Ko, Karrie Webb, Cristie Kerr, Minjee Lee and Inbee Park.
The Honda LPGA Thailand is a 72-player no cut event with a purse of $1.8 million.
