The short answer
As of 3 October 2026, seven golfers from Thailand have won on the LPGA Tour. Their official career totals add to 34 win credits across 33 distinct tournaments, because the 2021 Dow team title counts once for both Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn. Ariya was the first Thai winner and remains the leader with twelve; Jeeno Thitikul follows with ten. Ariya and Patty Tavatanakit have combined for three major championships.
Complete winners table
All seven Thai LPGA winners, ranked by career wins
The totals below are the LPGA’s official career-win figures as checked on 3 October 2026. They include official team events: each winning partner receives one career victory. That convention is why the seven players’ totals add to 34 even though Thai golfers have appeared in 33 distinct winning tournaments; Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn shared the same 2021 Dow title.
| Player | First LPGA win | Career wins | Major wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ariya Jutanugarn | 8 May 2016 · Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic | 12 | 2 |
| Jeeno Thitikul | 27 Mar 2022 · JTBC Classic | 10 | 0 |
| Moriya Jutanugarn | 22 Apr 2018 · HUGEL-JTBC LA Open | 3 | 0 |
| Jasmine Suwannapura | 15 Jul 2018 · Marathon Classic | 3 | 0 |
| Patty Tavatanakit | 4 Apr 2021 · ANA Inspiration | 2 | 1 |
| Pajaree Anannarukarn | 1 Aug 2021 · ISPS Handa World Invitational | 2 | 0 |
| Chanettee Wannasaen | 3 Sep 2023 · Portland Classic | 2 | 0 |
Chronology
A timeline of the turning points
Ariya Jutanugarn becomes Thailand’s first LPGA winner
Ariya won the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic in Alabama, beginning a run of three consecutive victories and establishing the first Thai name on the LPGA winner list.
Ariya wins Thailand’s first golf major
Her Women’s British Open victory made her the first Thai golfer, woman or man, to win a major championship. She later added the 2018 U.S. Women’s Open.
Moriya Jutanugarn becomes the second Thai winner
Moriya converted her 156th LPGA start into victory at the HUGEL-JTBC LA Open, making the Jutanugarns the second pair of sisters to have each won on tour.
Jasmine Suwannapura becomes the third winner
Then recorded as Thidapa Suwannapura, Jasmine defeated Brittany Lincicome in a playoff at the Marathon Classic after returning from major back surgery.
Patty Tavatanakit wins a major for her first title
Patty led the ANA Inspiration wire to wire and held off Lydia Ko. She became the fourth Thai LPGA winner and the country’s second major champion.
Pajaree Anannarukarn becomes the fifth winner
Pajaree won the ISPS Handa World Invitational on the second playoff hole in Northern Ireland, then added the 2023 Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play.
Jeeno Thitikul becomes the sixth winner
Playing her fifth event as an LPGA member, the nineteen-year-old won the JTBC Classic on the second playoff hole after a closing 64.
Jeeno becomes Thailand’s second world No. 1
The rookie joined Ariya as the only Thai golfers to lead the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, then returned to No. 1 in 2025.
Chanettee Wannasaen becomes the seventh winner
After Monday qualifying, Chanettee closed with a 63 and won the Portland Classic by four strokes. A second title followed at the 2024 Dana Open.
Five Thai players collect six official win credits
Patty won at home, Chanettee added the Dana Open, Jeeno took the Dow team event and CME finale, Moriya won in Portland, and Jasmine triumphed in Arkansas.
Jeeno reaches ten LPGA victories
Wins at the Honda LPGA Thailand, Mizuho Americas Open and Standard Portland Classic lifted Jeeno from seven to ten career titles during the 2026 season.
What counts as an LPGA Tour win?
This list follows the official career-win total displayed by the LPGA for each player. A title must count on the LPGA Tour; victories limited to the Ladies European Tour, Epson Tour, Japan LPGA, Thai LPGA or an unofficial mixed-team event are not added here. That distinction matters because several players have won important professional events outside the LPGA without changing the number in this table.
Official LPGA team events do count. Jasmine Suwannapura’s 2019 Dow victory with Cydney Clanton, the Jutanugarn sisters’ shared 2021 Dow title and Jeeno Thitikul’s 2024 Dow win with Ruoning Yin each added one career victory to every winning partner. Because both partners in 2021 were Thai, summing the seven Thai players’ records counts that one tournament twice. The result is 34 official career-win credits across 33 distinct tournaments involving at least one Thai champion.
The figures are a dated snapshot, not a claim about a finished era. They were checked against the LPGA’s live player profiles on 3 October 2026 while the LOTTE Championship was still in progress. Future wins should change the relevant player total, the combined total and this page’s review date together.
How Ariya turned one breakthrough into a national first
Before May 2016, no Thai golfer had won on the LPGA Tour. Ariya Jutanugarn changed that at the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic, then immediately won the Kingsmill Championship and LPGA Volvik Championship. The three-event sequence made the first victory look less like an isolated breakthrough and more like the beginning of a durable elite career.
Her five-win 2016 season included the Women’s British Open, Thailand’s first golf major, and ended with the Player of the Year award and Race to the CME Globe. In 2017 she became the first Thai golfer to reach world No. 1. Her 2018 U.S. Women’s Open supplied a second major, and an unprecedented sweep of the LPGA’s major season awards established a standard later Thai players could measure themselves against.
Ariya’s twelve official wins remain the Thai record at this review date. The total includes the 2021 Honda LPGA Thailand, where she became the tournament’s first home-country champion, and the Dow team title won with Moriya later that year. Her place at the top of the table therefore combines individual, major, home and family milestones.
Moriya and Jasmine prove the breakthrough can be repeated
Moriya Jutanugarn and Jasmine Suwannapura widened the story in 2018. Moriya had been the 2013 LPGA Rookie of the Year but waited until her 156th start to win in Los Angeles. Jasmine’s route was shaped by a broken back suffered during a 2016 practice swing; surgery, six months away and a rebuilt swing preceded her Marathon Classic playoff victory.
Both later showed that their first titles were not endpoints. Moriya won with Ariya at the 2021 Dow event and returned to individual victory at the 2024 Portland Classic. Jasmine partnered Cydney Clanton to win the inaugural Dow team tournament in 2019, then defeated Lucy Li in a playoff at the 2024 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Each now holds three official LPGA wins.
Jasmine’s name requires a small record-keeping note. LPGA material around her first victory used her birth name, Thidapa Suwannapura; later records list her as Jasmine Suwannapura. Those records describe the same player and the same three-win career, not two different Thai champions.
Why 2021 produced two different kinds of first win
Patty Tavatanakit became the fourth Thai winner by making a major championship her first LPGA victory. She led every round of the 2021 ANA Inspiration and completed the week at eighteen under par. The performance made her the first rookie to win that event since 1984 and only the second Thai major champion after Ariya.
Four months later, Pajaree Anannarukarn became the fifth Thai winner at the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland. Her breakthrough came through a playoff rather than wire-to-wire control. In 2023 she won the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play, giving her two official wins in two sharply different formats.
Patty also reached two victories by winning the 2024 Honda LPGA Thailand. Together with Ariya’s 2021 title and Jeeno’s 2026 victory, that result made the home event a visible marker of Thailand’s progression: the country moved from hosting an LPGA tournament without a domestic champion to producing three different Thai winners there.
Jeeno and Chanettee extend the winner pipeline
Jeeno Thitikul arrived on the LPGA with an unusual professional record already behind her. At fourteen, she had become the youngest known winner of a professional golf tournament. Her first LPGA title came in March 2022 at the JTBC Classic, where she erased a six-shot final-round deficit and won a playoff in only her fifth start as a tour member.
Her rise accelerated rather than levelled off. Jeeno won twice as a rookie, first reached world No. 1 in October 2022, collected team and season-finale titles in 2024, returned to No. 1 in 2025 and won three times in 2026 before this review. Ten career wins place her second among Thai players and only two behind Ariya.
Chanettee Wannasaen became the seventh member of the list in September 2023. She had missed nine consecutive cuts, entered the Portland Classic through Monday qualifying and then shot a final-round 63 to win by four. Her 2024 Dana Open victory confirmed that the breakthrough was not a one-week exception and brought her official total to two.
Which Thai golfers have won majors or reached world No. 1?
Three of the 34 Thai career-win credits are major championships. Ariya owns two: the 2016 Women’s British Open and 2018 U.S. Women’s Open. Patty owns the third through the 2021 ANA Inspiration, the tournament now called The Chevron Championship. No other player in the table had an LPGA major at the 3 October 2026 review date.
Ariya and Jeeno are also the two Thai golfers who have reached No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings. Ariya first rose to the top in June 2017; Jeeno first did so in October 2022 and returned in August 2025. Those ranking milestones measure sustained results across events, while a major records success in one of the season’s most important weeks. Thailand’s LPGA rise contains both kinds of achievement.
The seven-winner list remains narrower than the full history of Thai women’s professional golf. Earlier tour members, players who won elsewhere and current contenders helped create the competitive depth around these champions. This page answers the specific search question—who has an official LPGA victory—while the connected biographies and collection explain the longer careers behind all seven names.
