The sixth stop of the Thai LPGA Tour in 2023, with an overall prize money of Bt1.56 million, will feature a total of 89 players, including 72 professionals and 17 amateurs. In addition to local players, the event also welcomes foreign competitors from Japan, Malaysia, South Korea and the Philippines.

The three-day stroke play format competition offers ranking points for the 2023 Thai LPGA Tour Order of Merit, the 2023 Thai LPGA Tour points, and the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking points.

Apart from the significant cash prize, the tournament champion will receive a remarkable trophy called “Beyond Victory”. The trophy has been masterfully crafted by Nathakorn Kanitvaranu, a distinguished artist from BGC Glass Studio, recognized as the leading glass education hub in Thailand. The trophy features a set of circular glasses that are designed to symbolize the diverse range of experiences that players accumulate throughout various stages of their lives. Its design depicts a challenging journey that players must endure in order to reach their ultimate goal of winning the title. However, the true value lies not only in the triumph itself, but also in the lessons learned, experiences gained, and friendships forged along the way.

One of the most intriguing first-round pairings for Wednesday is the 7am group, which will include Trichat Cheenglab - fresh off her recent return from the Ladies European Tour - as well as former LPGA player Supamas Sangchan and Kornkamol Sukaree.
