"Pro Jeeno," the world number one, leads the field at the Honda LPGA Thailand 2026 at Siam Country Club Old Course, Chonburi, from 19–22 February 2026 GMT+7.
On 13 February 2026 GMT+7, the women's professional golf tournament Honda LPGA Thailand 2026 is set to welcome one of the strongest groups of golfers in the event’s history, as multiple world major champions come together to compete for the sole championship trophy at Siam Country Club Old Course, Chonburi, from 19–22 February 2026 GMT+7.
This year's competition is packed with world-class quality, featuring 18 major champions who have won a combined total of 24 major titles, alongside 45 players who have won LPGA Tour events, collectively amassing 175 victories. This showcases the high standards, experience, and determination ready to contest the full 72-hole stroke play event without a cut, competing for a total prize fund of 1.8 million U.S. dollars (approximately 60 million baht).
After the organizers officially announced the full field of 72 golfers, the event’s excitement intensified. This year, the largest contingents come from the United States with 15 players, followed by Japan with 12, South Korea with 10, Australia with 5, the People’s Republic of China and Sweden each with 3, France and Spain with 2 each, plus players from numerous other countries including Italy, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland, Taiwan, and Scotland. Eight Thai golfers will also compete, adding local color to the event.
Leading this group is global superstar Jeeno–Athaya Thitikul, the current world number one, with seven LPGA titles, and recipient of the Rolex Player of the Year and Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average on tour. Joining her are Lydia Ko from New Zealand, former world number one and three-time Olympic medalist (silver in 2016, bronze in 2020, gold in 2024), LPGA Hall of Fame member; and Jin Young Ko from South Korea, with 15 LPGA wins including two majors and holding the record for the longest tenure as world number one in LPGA history at 163 weeks. Also competing are Australia’s Hannah Green, with six LPGA wins including one major, and American major champion Danielle Kang, both ready to showcase their skills. Leading Japanese players such as Miyu Yamashita, Ayaka Furue, and Yuka Saso—all major champions—are also in the field, representing a group proven on big stages and capable of changing the tournament’s direction at any moment.
A special feature of this tournament each year is the closely contested play shot by shot on a course renowned for its challenge—Siam Country Club Old Course—particularly the greens, which are firm, fast, and highly sloped. Even minor errors can immediately affect scores, causing the leaderboard to shift continuously from round to round. Often, the championship is decided only on the final hole.
Memorable moments from this event are frequently recalled, such as in 2010 when Ai Miyazato of Japan chipped in to win over Norway’s Suzann Pettersen; in 2013 when Moriya Jutanugarn’s triple bogey on the last hole handed the title to South Korea’s Inbee Park; in 2021 when Jeeno–Athaya Thitikul missed a critical putt before Aree won the championship; and in 2022 when the tournament required its first-ever playoff, with Denmark’s Nanna Koerstz Madsen defeating China’s Siyi Lin in sudden death on the second hole. These moments underscore the extreme mental control and focus demanded by top-level golf.
The Honda LPGA Thailand is also a key stage in Asia. Over its 18 editions, 10 players have been major champions or have gone on to win majors after capturing this event, including Suzann Pettersen (2007), Lorena Ochoa (2009), Na Yeon Choi (2011, 2012), Inbee Park (2013), Anna Nordqvist (2014), Amy Yang (2015, 2017, 2019), Lexi Thompson (2018), Moriya Jutanugarn (2021), Lilia Vu (2023), and Patty–Paphangkorn Thawatchathakij (2024).
With champions from various eras gathering in Pattaya, this tournament is not just a global golf competition but a week of high-quality play where every shot matters, every day brings turning points, and every moment invites golf fans to follow closely from the first tee-off to the final putt.
The Honda LPGA Thailand 2026 will take place from 19–22 February 2026 GMT+7 at Siam Country Club Old Course, Pattaya, Chonburi, with a total prize fund of 1.8 million U.S. dollars (approximately 60 million baht).
