On 27 March 2022, Thitikul won for the first time on the LPGA Tour at the JTBC Classic.[2] While still age 19 in September 2022, Thitikul had two wins on the professional LPGA Tour and four wins on the Ladies European Tour.

On 31 October 2022, Thitikul became the number 1 ranked golfer in the Women's World Golf Rankings,[3] and was considered to be the fastest rising star in golf.[4][5] On 10 November, she was named the 2022 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year.[6]

In 2023, Thitikul won the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average on the LPGA Tour.

She won the 2024 CME Group Tour Championship and earned a prize of $4 million.[7] This result, as well as her others during the 2024 season, earned her $6,059,309 on the LPGA tour in 2024. This set a new record for single-season earnings on the LPGA Tour, and both Thitikul and Nelly Korda (who earned $4,391,930) surpassed the previous record of $4,364,994 set by Lorena Ochoa during the 2007 season.[8] As a result, Thitikul also led the 2024 LPGA money list.[9]

Early life

edit

Thitikul was born on 20 February 2003 in Ban Pong, Ratchaburi to Montree Thitikul and Siriwan.[10][11] Her introduction to golf came at a young age, with her father offering her the choice between golf and tennis at just six years old. She chose golf after watching pictures of both sports on YouTube.[1][12]

Thitikul honed her skills and graduated from Sarasas Witaed Nakhonpathom School in Nakhon Pathom.[13][14] She is also known by her nickname, "Jeen" or "Jeeno".[15][16]

Amateur career

edit

2017

edit

On 23 February, 3 days after her 14th birthday, Thitikul made her first appearance at the Honda LPGA Thailand on the LPGA Tour, where she finished 37th out of the 66 competitors.[17][18] She had earned her place in the field when she finished runner-up in the Thailand Amateur Open the previous August when she was just 13 years and 6 months old. After competing in the LPGA event, she won the Taiwan Amateur Open in June.[19]

Her emergence onto the international golf scene came with her victory at Ladies European Thailand Championship on the Ladies European Tour as an amateur on 9 July.[1][20] This win made her the youngest person ever to win a professional golf tour event at age 14 years, 4 months and 19 days old. She held the record until April 2023, when Louise Uma Landgraf won the Terre Blanche Ladies Open aged 14 years, 2 months and 18 days. The previous record belonged to Canadian Brooke Henderson who won the 2012 Canadian Women's Tour aged 14 years, 9 months, and 3 days. Her amateur status meant that she could not claim the first prize of 45,000 euros for winning but it gave her the entries into both the Women's British Open and the Evian Championship in France.[21][22] She missed the cut at the British Open by a shot but made the cut at the Evian Championship, playing the final two rounds and finishing in 64th place.[23]

Thitikul also competed at the Junior Dutch Open in July. In the final round, she carded a course-record 8-under-par round to win the tournament by eight clear shots.[24] In August, she won an individual gold medal and was part of the Thailand team that won another gold in the team event at the Southeast Asian Games in Malaysia.[25][26]

2018

edit

In February, Thitikul competed in the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship in Singapore, just as she turned 15. She was part of a four-way tie in the final round but went onto to win the title.[27] Her victory earned her a place in the HSBC Women's Champions on the same course, plus entries into the ANA Inspiration at Mission Hills, California and for a place in the British Open, for a second year running.

At the HSBC event, she was the joint youngest starter of the championship at 15 years and 9 months, the exact same age at which Singapore's Amanda Tan competed in 2014. She carded a bogey-free final round of six-under par 66 to finish tied for eighth.[28][29] At the ANA Inspiration in March, she finished in a tie for 30th place and earned low amateur honours.[30][31]

In August, she was the only amateur to make the cut at the Woman's British Open and won the Smyth Salver, low amateur award.[32] On 15 September, she broke the course record at World Junior Girls Championship on Camelot Golf and Country Club in Ottawa with a score of 12-under-par 60 in the final round to win the title by 2 strokes.[33]

At the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Thitikul teamed with Vanchai Luangnitikul to win the mixed team gold medal for Thailand.[34]

2019

edit

On 24 June, Thitikul won the Ladies European Thailand Championship for the second time in three years. She finished with a five-under-par 67 to win by five shots from Esther Henseleit.[35][36] Following her win, Thitikul was ranked 1st in the world on the women's World Amateur Golf Ranking on 26 June and then again from October 2019 until January 2020 before turning professional.[37] In August, she won the back-to-back Smyth Salver, low amateur honour, at the Women's British Open after finishing in a tie for 29th place at Woburn.[38] In December, she represented Thailand at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. She won a bronze medal in the women's team event.[39]

Professional career

edit

2020

edit

Thitikul began her professional career in January 2020, competing in several events held in Australia. One notable performance included a fourth-place finish at the Women’s NSW Open.[40][41]

The global COVID-19 pandemic caused a pause in the golf season, but after its resumption in July, Thitikul secured her first professional victory at the Thai LPGA Tour's 3rd Singha-SAT Thai LPGA Championship.[42] Her season culminated in five total wins on the Thai LPGA Tour, while securing the top spot on the tour's money list.[43][44]

2021

edit

In May, Thitikul received a sponsor's exemption to play in the Honda LPGA Thailand on the LPGA Tour, in which she finished second, one stroke behind Ariya Jutanugarn.[45][46] Later, she began playing on the Ladies European Tour.

On 27 June, Thitikul claimed her third Ladies European Tour title, her first as a professional, at the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open.[47] This win made her eligible to play in European major tournaments, the Evian Championship and the British Open in 2021. On 12 July, she moved into the top 100 on the Women's World Golf Rankings for the first time with a rank of 89, after finishing second at the Aramco Team Series – London losing to Marianne Skarpnord in a playoff.[48]

On 25 July, Thitikul recorded her best-ever finish at a major championship with fifth place at the 2021 Evian Championship, having a score of 14-under par 270, and boosting her world ranking to its highest ever position of 61st place.[49] On 15 August, she achieved her seventh consecutive top-five place on a Ladies European Tour event by finishing tied for second in the Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open at Dumbarnie Links.[50] Following the event, her world golf ranking moved to 35th place.[51]

On 11 September, Thitikul secured her fourth Ladies European Tour title, her second of the season, at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open. She overcame a four-shot deficit after 36 holes to win by one stroke over Marianne Skarpnord.[52][53] As a result, her world ranking rose to 28th place, her highest ever.[54]

In November, Thitikul recorded three more top-ten finishes, including second place at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International, tied for sixth place at the Aramco Team Series – Jeddah, and third place at the season finale Andalucia Costa Del Sol Open De España.[55] Her world ranking went into top-20 for the first time, rank 18.[56]

Thitikul won the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year titles, following her two wins, three runner-ups, and nine additional top-ten finishes. She became the fourth player to win both awards in the same season and also became the youngest Order of Merit winner.[57][58] She was also selected to earn the Players’ Player of the Year title.[59]

In December, Thitikul earned her card for the 2022 LPGA Tour after finished third at the qualifying school.[60]

2022

edit
 
Thitikul at the 2022 KPMG Women's PGA Championship

In early March, Thitikul tied for fourth place at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore. This result elevated her world ranking by six spots to a career-high 14th, achieved just two weeks after her 19th birthday.[61] The result also secured her largest professional tournament purse at $81,447.[62]

First LPGA Tour victory

edit

On 27 March, Thitikul won her first LPGA Tour tournament in her fifth start as a tour member at the JTBC Classic.[63] She carded an 8-under-par 64 in the final round to come back from 6 shots behind after 54 holes to force a playoff, then beating Nanna Koerstz Madsen on the second playoff hole. She earned the $225,000 first prize, and became the youngest winner on the tour, aged 19 years and 35 days, since Brooke Henderson won the 2016 Portland Classic at age 18 years, 9 months, and 23 days.[64]

In September, she tied the tournament record with a 10-under-par 61 in the second round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, taking a one-stroke lead into the final round.[65] She went on to win her second LPGA title in a playoff against Danielle Kang.[66]

By October, she rose to the number two spot in the world rankings.[67] She broke the tournament record at the BMW Ladies Championship with an opening round of 63.[68]

On 31 October, Thitikul ascended to the world number one golfer for the first time.[69][70] Notably, she became the second-youngest golfer to reach this milestone, after Lydia Ko, who achieved the feat at 17 years and nine months old in February 2015. Her achievements were further recognized with the LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year award on 10 November.[6]

2023

edit

Despite not securing an individual victory in the 2023 LPGA Tour season, Thitikul had 13 top-10 finishes in the 21 tournaments she entered,[71] achieving a ninth-place ranking in the final Women's World Golf Rankings.[72]

Thitikul became the second Thai player (following Ariya Jutanugarn in 2018) to win the Vare Trophy, an award recognizing the player with the lowest scoring average for the season. Thitikul averaged 69.53 strokes over 75 rounds without winning a single tournament, marking the first time in 70 years that the Vare Trophy went to a non-winner.[73]

In December, Thitikul played on the Ladies Asian Tour, where she secured a 7-stroke victory at the Simone Asia Pacific Cup, claiming the $110,000 first prize. Additionally, she teamed up with Jaravee Boonchant to secure victory for Thailand in the team competition.[74]

2024

edit

In June, Thitikul teamed with Ruoning Yin to win the 2024 Dow Championship.[75]

On 19 November 2024, she secured first place in the Aon Risk Reward Challenge, being awarded its $1 million prize.[76] Later in the week, on 21 November, she entered the CME Group Tour Championship. After shooting 71 (−1) and 67 (−5) in the first two rounds, she had an overall score of −6 and was tied for 4th place, 4 shots behind leader Angel Yin.[77] In the third round, Thitikul shot a 9-under-par 63, tying her season low round,[78] finishing with an eagle at the 17th and a birdie at the 18th to end the round in a tie for first with Yin, and an overall score of −15.[79] She also extended her streak without scoring a bogey or worse to 44 holes, her most recent dropped shots having come in the first round, a double bogey at the par-4 11th hole. The final round of the tournament was played on 24 November, with Thitikul starting at the 1st tee in the final group together with co-leader Angel Yin and 3rd placed Ruoning Yin, who was three shots behind the leaders with a score of −12.[80] She ended the tournament on −22, shooting a final round 65, to beat Angel Yin by one stroke and win a prize of $4 million.[7]
