World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul Returns to Honda LPGA Thailand With Message of Belief
Thai star headlines home tournament, telling fans that perseverance proves ‘nothing is impossible’.
World number one Jeeno Thitikul has returned to the Honda LPGA Thailand tournament, drawing strong local support as she prepares to compete on home soil with renewed confidence and ambition.
The Thai golfer, who has risen to the top of the global rankings through consistent performances on the LPGA Tour, described her homecoming as deeply meaningful.
Speaking ahead of the event, she emphasised the importance of resilience and self-belief in her career, telling supporters that “nothing is impossible” with dedication and hard work.
Thitikul’s presence has heightened anticipation for the tournament, one of Asia’s premier stops on the LPGA calendar.
The event regularly attracts elite international competitors, but this year’s spotlight has centred firmly on the 21-year-old Thai star, whose ascent to world number one has been celebrated as a landmark achievement for the country’s golfing community.
Her rise has been marked by composure under pressure and a steady improvement in all aspects of her game.
Analysts point to her driving accuracy, disciplined course management and mental strength as defining features of her success.
Returning to Thailand as the top-ranked player adds an additional layer of expectation, yet Thitikul has signalled she intends to embrace rather than shy away from that challenge.
The Honda LPGA Thailand tournament, staged at Siam Country Club’s Old Course in Pattaya, has long served as a platform for Thai golfers to showcase their talent to a global audience.
Local organisers have highlighted Thitikul’s journey as an inspiration for young athletes across the country, reinforcing Thailand’s growing stature in women’s golf.
Fans gathered early during practice rounds, many wearing national colours and carrying signs of support.
Tournament officials said ticket demand has been robust, reflecting both the prestige of the event and the pride associated with seeing a Thai athlete at the pinnacle of the sport.
For Thitikul, the week represents more than rankings or prize money.
It is a return to familiar fairways and a reminder of the path that carried her from junior competitions in Thailand to the summit of world golf.
Her message to aspiring players remains consistent: ambition combined with persistence can overcome any barrier.
