Atthaya Thitikul Wins LPGA Tour’s 2022 Rookie of the Year Award

SCGC would like to congratulate Atthaya Thitikul, the world number 1 ranked female golfer, on winning the 2022 Rookie of the Year award after it was officially announced by the LPGA Tour on November 10th. Atthaya Thitikul has showcased a stellar performance in her rookie year in the LPGA Tour. In addition to her two LPGA Tour wins, the JTBC Classic and the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, she also produced 13 top-10 finishes this season, including three Majors. “It is such an honor to win the Rookie of the Year award, especially being the second consecutive player from Thailand to win this honor,” said Thitikul. “I’m happy to have made my home country proud. My rookie year has been really fun and memorable, but we still have a long way to go.” She is the second consecutive player from Thailand to earn Rookie of the Year honors and third overall, joining Patty Tavatanakit and Moriya Jutanugarn, who won it in 2021 and 2013 respectively. SCGC wishes the very best for Atthaya Thitikul, and all Thai female golfers, as they strive to bring further success to their careers.
