The short answer
The Honda LPGA Thailand has produced nineteen official editions and sixteen different champions since 2006. Amy Yang owns the record with three titles, Yani Tseng remains the only successful defending champion, and Ariya Jutanugarn, Patty Tavatanakit and Jeeno Thitikul are the three Thai winners. Angel Yin’s 260 in 2025 is the 72-hole tournament record.

Chronology
A timeline of the turning points
Hee Won Han wins the inaugural tournament
The first edition was played at Amata Spring Country Club, where Han finished fourteen under par.
The event moves to Siam Country Club
Suzann Pettersen won the first edition at the Pattaya Old Course, the venue that became the tournament’s long-term home.
No tournament is held because of scheduling
Official LPGA tournament notes identify 2008 as the first gap in the event’s chronology.
The Plantation Course hosts its only edition
Lorena Ochoa won at Siam Country Club’s Plantation Course before the tournament returned to the Old Course.
Yani Tseng becomes the only successful defending champion
The world No. 1 won consecutive editions, a repeat no other champion had matched by October 2026.
Amy Yang builds the tournament record
Victories in 2015, 2017 and 2019 made Yang the only three-time Honda LPGA Thailand champion.
The event is not held during the COVID-19 disruption
LPGA records place the pandemic interruption between Amy Yang’s third title and Ariya Jutanugarn’s home victory.
Ariya Jutanugarn becomes the first Thai champion
A final-round 63 carried Ariya to a one-stroke victory over Jeeno Thitikul at the Old Course.
Patty Tavatanakit becomes the second Thai champion
Patty closed with 67 and held off Albane Valenzuela by one stroke one week after winning on the Ladies European Tour.
Angel Yin sets the 72-hole tournament record
Her 260 total and twenty-eight-under-par winning score replaced the previous event records.
Jeeno Thitikul delivers the third Thai home victory
Jeeno won the nineteenth edition at twenty-four under par, one stroke ahead of Chizzy Iwai.
The tournament began at Amata Spring before finding its Pattaya home
The Honda LPGA Thailand began in 2006 at Amata Spring Country Club. Hee Won Han won the inaugural edition at fourteen under par. The following year the tournament moved to Siam Country Club in Pattaya, where Suzann Pettersen won at the Old Course and established the site most closely associated with the event.
Siam Country Club has hosted every edition since that move, but not always on the same course. Lorena Ochoa’s 2009 victory came on the Plantation Course. All other Siam-hosted editions through 2026 were contested on the Old Course, whose 1969 design was renovated in 2007.
Venue context matters when comparing scores. The 2006 field played a different club, the 2009 field used a different Siam layout, and course setup changes from year to year. The champion table therefore records scores accurately without treating every number as a like-for-like measure of performance.
Two missing years explain why 2026 was the nineteenth edition
The calendar spans twenty-one years from 2006 through 2026, but the tournament was played nineteen times. Official LPGA notes state that the 2008 edition did not take place because of scheduling. The event resumed in 2009 and then ran annually through 2019.
The second interruption came in 2020, when the tournament was not held during the COVID-19 disruption. It returned in 2021 behind closed doors and has appeared on the LPGA schedule every year through the review date of 3 October 2026.
Those gaps should not be filled with a defending champion or a notional winner. This page lists only completed official LPGA editions, while the timeline marks 2008 and 2020 explicitly so readers can distinguish an omitted year from missing data.
Amy Yang owns the title record and Yani Tseng owns the defence record
Amy Yang is the tournament’s most successful player by victories. She won in 2015, returned to the title in 2017 and completed a third victory in 2019. No other player had won the event three times by October 2026.
Yani Tseng is the only other multiple champion. She won by five strokes in 2011 and by one stroke over Ai Miyazato in 2012. The second victory made her the only player to defend the Honda LPGA Thailand title successfully through the nineteenth edition.
The record is otherwise unusually broad: nineteen editions produced sixteen different champions. That list includes players from nine sporting countries or territories and contains major champions, former world No. 1 golfers and several players whose Thailand victory was an early or first LPGA title.
Three Thai champions changed the event’s home-country story
The first thirteen editions all produced an overseas champion. That changed in 2021, when Ariya Jutanugarn closed with a nine-under-par 63 and won by one stroke over Jeeno Thitikul. She became the first Thai winner in the event’s fourteen-edition history.
Patty Tavatanakit became the second Thai champion in 2024. Playing one week after her Ladies European Tour victory in Saudi Arabia, she finished at twenty-one under par and held off Albane Valenzuela by one stroke. The win also gave Patty her first LPGA title since her 2021 major breakthrough.
Jeeno completed the trio in 2026. The world No. 1 posted 264, twenty-four under par, and defeated Chizzy Iwai by one. The three Thai victories arrived in three different seasons and by three different players, connecting the tournament’s history directly to Thailand’s wider emergence in women’s professional golf.
The scoring record moved sharply during the last decade
Jessica Korda’s 263 total in 2018 was a tournament record at the time. Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Xiyu Lin both reached 262 in 2022 before Madsen won with an eagle on the second playoff hole. That edition produced the first playoff in the tournament chronology covered here.
Angel Yin lowered the 72-hole record to 260 in 2025 and set the relation-to-par mark at twenty-eight under. The 2026 LPGA final-round notes also record the lowest single round as 61, shared by Akie Iwai in 2025 and Somi Lee in 2026.
Raw totals do not prove that one champion faced an easier or harder task. Weather, pin positions, course length and field performance all change. The records identify the lowest official scores, while the champion list remains the more stable measure of who won each edition.
A limited field creates both elite competition and local entry routes
LPGA notes for 2025 described a seventy-two-player, seventy-two-hole stroke-play event with no cut. That structure keeps the full invited field competing through four rounds. Purse and field details can change, so the format is dated here rather than presented as a permanent rule.
The field combines leading LPGA members with sponsor invitations and a national qualifying place. Twelve Thai players competed in 2025, ranging from established champions to an amateur national qualifier. The route gives a small number of domestic players direct experience inside an LPGA event at home.
Opportunity should not be confused with automatic progression. A qualifier or invitation provides one tournament start, not tour membership. Its significance is narrower and still valuable: elite competition, spectators, sponsors and developing Thai golfers meet within the same recurring event.
How the winner list is maintained
The year, champion, country and winning score are checked against the LPGA’s tournament archive, official round notes and the event organiser’s champion history. Where official summaries add a playoff, margin or venue detail, the table records it in a short note.
Names follow the forms used by current official player records. Jeeno Thitikul is used for the 2026 champion, while the table retains full names rather than the initials shown in some LPGA result widgets. Sporting representation is identified separately from birthplace or residence.
The page is reviewed after each completed edition rather than during an unfinished tournament. A future champion, revised event format or official correction should update the table, FAQ answers, structured ItemList and review date together so the visible page and machine-readable data remain aligned.
