Watch Prim–Prachanakorn, 17-Year-Old Rising Golf Star, Aiming for Two Gold Medals at SEA Games 2025

Watch 'Prim–Prachanakorn,' a promising 17-year-old female golfer aiming for two gold medals at the 2025 SEA Games, a proud milestone on her path with the Thai national golf team and with crucial support from Reignwood Park.


On 13 Dec 2025 GMT+7, in a world where sports competition intensifies yearly, the growth of young Thai athletes depends not only on talent or perseverance but also on solid "support power"—including coaches, technology, training facilities, and people who truly believe in the athletes' potential. One young athlete clearly exemplifying this is


"Prim-Prachanakorn," a 17-year-old Thai national team golfer, currently regarded as one of Thai golf’s hopefuls and preparing rigorously with the goal of winning two gold medals in the women's team and individual categories at the 2025 SEA Games. Golf competitions will run through 14 Dec 2025 GMT+7.


Behind Prim–Prachanakorn’s rise as a national representative is not just personal effort but also key support from Reignwood Park, through the Reignwood (Thailand) Foundation and sports infrastructure projects, including Robinswood Golf Club and CH3 Performance Golf Academy Thailand, emerging as leading centers for golf development in Thailand.

From a child enchanted by a pink golf ball to a Thai national team member, Prim’s golf journey began with a small inspiration at age nine. She shared that as a child, her dream was to become a model, but after seeing “Pro Waen-Pornanong Phatlum” hitting a pink golf ball on TV,

she felt the urge to "try playing herself," marking the start of her golf path. Since then, she has practiced three hours daily, reserving Sundays for family activities and skateboarding—a complementary activity that helps her body balance, directly benefiting her golf swing on the course.

Reignwood Park has become a “major driving force.” This year is especially challenging for Prim as she prepares for several major competitions, including the key 2025 SEA Games and the 2026 Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship (WAAP). Reignwood Park has officially stepped in to support her.

Support comes not only through scholarships from the Reignwood (Thailand) Foundation but also by granting her access to one of Asia’s most comprehensive sports infrastructures. Prim trains primarily at Robinswood Golf Club and CH3 Performance Golf Academy Thailand within Reignwood Park, Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani.


Prim-Prachanakorn said training at Robinswood Golf Club and CH3 Performance Golf Academy Thailand has greatly enhanced her potential, thanks to fully equipped facilities and experienced international coaches. She feels more confident heading into this year’s SEA Games.

Robinswood Golf Club is a training ground designed like a “real competition course.”

Robinswood Golf Club plays a vital role in Reignwood Park’s golf development system, with world-class standards and design that let players experience true competitive conditions—real grass fairways, challenging greens, and expansive practice areas ideal for long-term training. It is also the only golf course in Thailand with a Sub Air system that rapidly removes moisture, allowing year-round practice.

CH3 Performance Golf Academy Thailand is a center for developing Thai golfers' potential.

CH3 Performance Golf Academy Thailand is a world-class golf instruction institute developed by Reignwood in collaboration with Claude Harmon III (CH3), a top coach who has trained superstars like Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Rickie Fowler. The academy’s strength lies in its data-driven teaching system and personalized coaching that integrates swing techniques, competitive psychology, and golf fitness performance.

Over the past two years, Prim–Prachanakorn has consistently achieved outstanding international results, starting with winning the 2024 Finnish Amateur Championship in Europe, then advancing into 2025 by winning the Mandiri Ciputra Golfpreneur Junior World Championship in Indonesia.

She led the Thai national team to victory at the 2025 Toyota Junior Golf World Cup in Japan and capped off with the 2025 Singapore Open Amateur Championship title. These four victories reflect the strong potential and development of Thailand’s young golfers, paving the way for their international career growth.

At the 2025 SEA Games, Prim’s definite goal is to win gold medals for Thailand and aims to claim both gold medals if possible.


“I want to do my best and use my SEA Games performance to repay all the support, especially from Reignwood, which has provided crucial opportunities in scholarships and training facilities. To young people who want to follow this path, I say: play the sport you love happily and don’t give up easily. Opportunities will come when we are ready. I want to encourage everyone,” Prim said.


Reignwood Park, Robinswood, and CH3: Building a new path for Thai golfers.

Reignwood’s commitment to youth development goes beyond scholarships; it is about creating a “full support system” to give Thai athletes equal opportunities at world-class standards. Supporting Prim–Prachanakorn clearly reflects this vision. Sports infrastructure like Robinswood Golf Club and CH3 Performance Golf Academy Thailand are not just venues or teaching institutes,


but “athlete development centers” with the potential to propel Thai youth onto the international stage. Today, Prim is a result of that dedication—a girl once enchanted by a pink golf ball, now rising as a national golf team hope for Thailand’s new generation.
