The Mizuho Americas Open returns this week, and Jeeno Thitikul’s 2025 performance still stands out as one of the most complete of the season.
Thitikul finished in the top five of the field in both strokes gained tee-to-green and putting. She was the only player in the field to achieve both.
The result was a four-shot victory, her first of three LPGA Tour wins that season. She didn't just overpower the field off the tee. She out-putted them too.
She continued that form throughout the year, finishing in the top 10 in 14 of her 20 starts. Her second win came at the Buick LPGA Shanghai, followed by the CME Group Tour Championship, as she ended the season with Player of the Year and her second Vare Trophy.
By August 2025, Thitikul had become the No. 1 women’s golfer in the world for the second time before being replaced by Nelly Korda after the Chevron Championship.
Thitikul has eight LPGA Tour wins. Her latest win came at the Honda LPGA Thailand in early 2026, where she finished at 24-under-par and won her first LPGA title in her home country.
She picked up a golf club at six, won the Ladies European Thailand Championship at 14 to become one of the youngest pro winners, and is now world No. 2 at 23.
With the Mizuho tournament back this week, Jeeno Thitikul returns as the defending champion and the world No. 2.
Jeeno Thitikul's Strong Mizuho Win Makes Her Major Dream Even Bigger
Despite her consistent dominance, a major championship remains the only accolade missing from Thitikul's resume.
In the majors, Jeeno Thitikul has been right there more than once. She finished fourth at the 2022 Women’s PGA Championship and was tied for fourth at the 2023 Chevron Championship.
The chances kept coming. A tie for sixth at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open, then a runner-up finish at the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship, where she lost to Grace Kim in a playoff.
Her performance at the 2025 Mizuho Americas Open wasn’t just about winning. It showed how Thitikul can control a tournament when everything clicks, which is exactly what it takes to close out a major.
With her first win of 2026 already coming in her home country, people are not asking if she will win a major, but when.
