Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul has won the 2026 LOTTE Championship after producing a strong final round to claim her fourth LPGA Tour title of the year.
Thitikul finished the tournament at 21-under 267 at Hoakalei Country Club in Hawaii, three strokes ahead of South Korea’s Ina Yoon.
The 23-year-old golfer entered the final round in a strong position and produced a 4-under 68 to complete a convincing victory.
The victory was another major achievement in what has been an outstanding 2026 season for Thitikul. It was her fourth LPGA Tour victory of the year and the 11th LPGA Tour title of her career.
Her latest victory also pushed her career official earnings beyond $20 million.
Thitikul had already established herself as one of the leading players on the women’s tour, and her performance in Hawaii further strengthened her position among the world’s best golfers.
She played consistently throughout the tournament and handled the conditions at Hoakalei Country Club effectively.
Ina Yoon finished second after putting together a strong tournament of her own. However, she was unable to keep pace with Thitikul during the final round.
The victory also came at an important point in the LPGA season as the tour prepares for its upcoming events in Asia.
The LOTTE Championship has been part of the LPGA Tour schedule since 2012. However, the tournament will have a new home from 2027.
The LPGA has announced that the event will move to Kapalua Resort’s Plantation Course in Maui next year. The 2027 tournament is scheduled for March 18 to 21.
The move will bring the tournament to a new location after five years at Hoakalei Country Club.
For Thitikul, however, the focus remains on her remarkable 2026 campaign. With four victories already secured this season, she has continued to show why she is considered one of the leading players in women’s golf.
Her latest title in Hawaii adds another major achievement to her growing career and gives her further confidence heading into the remaining tournaments of the season.
