Jeeno Thitikul finally broke the streak that has defined the LPGA season in 2025. The No. 1 player in the world became the first to win twice this season with her playoff victory at the Buick LPGA Shanghai.
It took Thitikul five extra holes to defeat Japan’s Minami Katsu. The 22-year-old Thai sensation earned $330,000 for her efforts, bringing her season earnings to $3,470,095. Her career earnings have now surpassed $13 million.
This marks Thitikul’s sixth career victory and her first since the Mizuho Americas Open in May.
“Feels so unreal for sure,” said Thitikul, who four-putted the 72nd hole at her last event to lose to Charley Hull.
“I mean, like so happy, so unreal. I think a lot of things go through my mind. Having the last putt to be able to force the playoff, I mean, making par to force the playoff, just reminding me like about the last event and that is what’s happening.”
Here’s the breakdown of how much money each LPGA player earned at the Buick LPGA Shanghai, where there was a purse of $2.2 million in the 82-player no-cut event:
