NAPLES, Fla. — Jeeno Thitikul has once again proven her dominance in women's golf by winning the LPGA Tour Championship, becoming only the second player to achieve back-to-back titles at this prestigious event. With a final round that showcased her exceptional skill, Thitikul finished four shots ahead of her closest competitor, Nelly Korda, and in doing so, she also broke the record for the lowest scoring total in the tournament's history.
This victory not only cements her status as the world number one but also adds to her impressive tally of three wins this season. Thitikul's performance has been a highlight in a year where she has consistently demonstrated her ability to perform under pressure, particularly in major tournaments.
Her win at the CME Group Tour Championship comes with a hefty prize of $4 million, which sets a new benchmark for the richest cash prize in women's golf history. The young Thai star's achievements have sparked discussions about her potential to become one of the all-time greats in the sport.
