Jeeno Thitikul claimed her ninth LPGA title at the Mizuho Americas Open and with it, another money record. Thitikul’s $487,500 first-place prize makes her the fastest player to cross $18 million in career earnings. Thitikul holds the record for fastest to reach the $8 million milestone all the way to $18 million.
“It means the world,” said Thitikul of successfully defending at Mizuho. “It means a lot to me.”
The 23-year-old Thai star has nearly made $1 million in 2026 after two victories, winning the first on home soil at the Honda LPGA Thailand. Thitikul birdied the last hole at Mountain Ridge Country Club to win the Mizuho by four strokes over good friend Ruoning Yin.
Tournament host Michelle Wie West has placed a key emphasis on the player experience at the Mizuho. In addition to the purse of $3.25 million, players get free rooms (thanks to Mizuho) and free transportation (thanks to Ford). Player gifts this week include $250 gifts cards to Delta and Starbucks. LPGA moms got a $1,000 gift cards to Starbucks because, as Wie West noted, all moms need caffeine.
Here’s the breakdown of how much money each LPGA player earned at the Mizuho Americas Open.
