Another LPGA Tour season has now concluded, with world number one Jeeno Thitikul claiming the top prize.
Thitikul broke the LPGA scoring record en route to her second successive CME Group Tour Championship title at Tiburon Golf Club.
Nelly Korda played with Thitikul in the final round of the LPGA season finale, with the former finishing third in Florida.
Korda ended her tournament on 20-under, two shots behind Pajaree Anannarukarn in second and six shots behind champion Thitikul.

She has just risen 12 places to seventh thanks to her total of $17,369,400, while Korda has dropped one place to ninth on $16,109,558.

Jeeno Thitikul responds when asked if she will turn her focus to major championships
Given Thitikul’s current momentum and ability, there is every chance that she climbs further up the all-time list rapidly.
But she was tasked with discussing a different avenue after her latest win, having been asked if winning a major will be her focus in the coming years.
Thitikul, who is yet to win a major, said: “I’m trying. I’m trying. I’m trying so hard. But, I mean, major is… I think it’s another level of golf courses and dealing with, you know, situations-wise, pressure-wise. Because major is different.
“Yeah, different animals that you don’t know what’s going to happen. Like you don’t know the golf course really well.
“They obviously change like almost every major that they have. Next year they change the Chevron again. Obviously have zero information about the course now.”
The 2026 LPGA calendar has been confirmed, with Korda not happy with the packed major schedule next year.
It starts with The Chevron Championship in April, and ends with the AIG Women’s Open at the beginning of August.
