Thailand's Jeeno Thitikul has reached No. 1 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings for the second time in her career.
Thitikul, 22, climbed one spot on Monday to pass Nelly Korda, who had held the No. 1 ranking since March 25, 2024.
Thitikul previously earned the No. 1 position on Oct. 31, 2022, and held it for two weeks, joining Ariya Jutanugarn as the second Thai player to ascend to the top.
'I am very grateful to become the No. 1 player in the world for the second time,' Thitikul said. 'This is not just about me -- this is about my family, my team and my friends, not to mention the amazing support I feel from my fans in Thailand and all around the world.
'There are so many incredible golfers competing every week and I will work my hardest to make sure I am a strong representative of our game.'
Thitikul leads the LPGA Tour with eight top-10 finishes this season, including a win at the Mizuho Americas Open in May and strong major finishes at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship (T4) in June and at last month's Amundi Evian Championship, where she lost to Grace Kim in a playoff.
Thitikul finished T30 on Sunday at the AIG Women's Open. Korda placed T36 on Sunday and is still looking for her first tournament win of 2025 after collecting seven titles last year.
Korda's 17-month run at No. 1 raised her career total to 108 weeks atop the Rolex Rankings, making her the sixth player to reach triple digits.
