Jeeno Thitikul crosses $20 million in earnings, gives lesson on taxes
Thitikul now ranks fifth on the LPGA career money list with $20,210,011.
On October 5, 2026, Thai golfer Jeeno Thitikul achieved a significant milestone in her career. During the Lotte Championship, she secured her 11th victory on the LPGA Tour, propelling her to become the sixth player in the history of the league to cross the $20 million earnings mark. At just 23 years old, Thitikul achieved this feat after only 101 career starts, all the while having never won a major championship.
Currently, Thitikul's earnings stand at $20,210,011, trailing behind four other players on the career money list: Annika Sorenstam, Lydia Ko, Nelly Korda, and Karrie Webb. This milestone comes as no surprise to Thitikul, who humorously remarked, "That means I need to pay more tax." The LPGA player acknowledged that while her earnings may not reach the astronomical figures she initially expected, the additional income from taxes is a welcome bonus.
She emphasized that her focus remains on improving her game and maintaining a strong presence on the tour.
