Hail To The Queen - Jeeno's #1 Again!
She's done it again! Thailand's sweetheart has toppled America's Nelly Korda from the pinnacle to ascend to the lofty #1 position in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
Jeeno Thitikul took over the spot after the recently concluded AIG Women’s Open.
The Thai superstar first ascended to the top of the Rolex Rankings on Oct. 31, 2022, and held the position for two weeks. She is the second Thai player to reach Rolex Rankings No. 1, along with Ariya Jutanugarn.
Thitikul has recorded eight top-10 finishes this season, the most on the LPGA Tour. She captured the title at the Mizuho Americas Open, finished solo second at the Amundi Evian Championship and earned a tie for second at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. She currently leads the Race to the CME Globe with 2,204.950 points, the Rolex Player of the Year standings with 104 points and the scoring average standings at 69.511.
Thitikul won twice in 2024, starting with a successful partnership at the Dow Championship with Ruoning Yin. She then capped the year with a victory at the CME Group Tour Championship, earning the largest single prize in the history of women’s golf with the US$4 million winner’s check.
Prior to joining the LPGA Tour, Thitikul became the youngest player ever to win the Ladies European Tour’s Race to Costa del Sol in 2021 while also securing Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors. At 14 years, 4 months and 19 days, Thitikul also became the youngest golfer to ever win a professional golf tournament with her victory at the LET’s Thailand Championship in 2017.
