Jeeno Thitikul is the only player with multiple LPGA victories this year. Yani Tseng of Taiwan will not compete, although she won last week on the Ladies European Tour in Taiwan, marking her first win in more than 11 years.
The LPGA held tournaments in Malaysia between 2010 and 2017. Of the eight tournaments held in Asia this year, the Maybank Championship has the largest prize purse. Australia now boasts two major champions in 2023: Minjee Lee and Grace Kim, in addition to the International Crown title.
