The 2026 Honda LPGA Thailand takes centre stage on the LPGA Tour from February 19-22 at the Siam Country Club in Pattaya.
The tour makes its first stop of the Asian Swing for what is the second event of the new 2026 LPGA Tour season.
Traditionally one of the liveliest and most fan-friendly events on the schedule, Siam Country Club’s Old Course offers a par‑72 setup measuring just over 6,600 yards.
The Pattaya venue combines wide fairways with undulating greens that place premium emphasis on precision from tee to green.
The tropical humidity and grainy Bermudagrass surfaces typically ensure fast yet testing putting conditions, while the compact 72‑player invitational field – without a cut – guarantees four competitive days of low scoring.
The field will compete for a $1.8 million purse with home favourite and world number one Jeeno Thitikul heading the contenders.

Jeeno Thitikul
Local star Jeeno Thitikul returns home in the kind of form that makes her the clear favourite to capture the title Thailand’s passionate galleries want most.
Thitikul enjoyed a memorable 2025 season that saw her become world number one and she knows every contour of Siam’s Old Course. With confidence sky‑high, the she looks poised to deliver another statement performance on home soil.
Sei Young Kim
Sei Young Kim seems to thrive in Pattaya’s warm, windy conditions and her ability to attack pins and convert mid‑range birdie chances fits perfectly on a course that rewards fearless shot‑making.
The Korean enters as a major threat to add another title to her already impressive LPGA Tour record having won 13 times on the tour.
Lydia Ko
Fresh from a consistent start to the season when fourth in the HGV Tournament of Champions, Lydia Ko arrives looking to reignite her winning spark in a part of the world where she’s historically played superb golf.
Her touch on and around the greens remains among the best on tour, and her calm approach under pressure makes her a perennial contender in limited-field events.
Ko’s precision iron play could again make the difference if scores rocket into the double digits under par.
Miyu Yamashita
Japan’s Miyu Yamashita has quickly established herself as one of the brightest young players on the LPGA Tour.
A top‑10 machine across Asia and the Pacific circuit, her methodical tempo and tidy wedge play are ideally suited to Siam’s layout.
If she maintains the momentum of her recent top‑five finish in the season opening tournament, Yamashita could well claim victory this week.
Akie Iwai
Another rising Japanese talent, Akie Iwai has impressed with hot starts and fearless scoring. Her consistency off the tee and confidence with the putter have translated smoothly from the JLPGA Tour to the global stage.
Iwai’s form trends upward fast, and with strong familiarity with Asian conditions, she’s one of the most intriguing chances in the field.
