The Thai Women’s Professional Golf Association is officially open today with its key mission to develop Thai female golfers and organize world ranking tournaments.

With Phoenix Golf Gold and Country Club Pattaya CEO Chanya Sawangchitr as president, the association holds a press conference on February 19 at Madarin Hotel in Bangrak as VIP guests and several leading golfers attend the event to express their congratulations.

“After organizing three successful Ladies European Tour events at the Phoenix Gold Golf and Country Club Pattaya, I believe that our female golfers are second to none if appropriate development programme and continuous tournaments are provided for them,” Chanya explained her decision to accept the Thai WPGA presidential post.

“Not only we have many potential players, but also we have qualified personnel who can organize tournaments of the international standard. I’m convinced more world class tournaments can be staged by Thai people,” she added.

“Thirdly, home tournaments can serve up as a springboard for Thais to the global arena. Both Atthaya Thitikul and Kanyalak Preedasuttijit have already proved that when they won the Ladies European Thailand Championship (Atthaya in 2017 and 2019, and Kanyalak in 2018) and automatically became members of the LET which is one of the world’s top women’s golf tours,” Chanya said.

“We are also in high gear to have the Thai WPGA feature world ranking points just like the local men’s tour which has already achieved that. With our experience in hosting world class events, we believe the Women’s World Golf Rankings committee will trust in our potential. We will soon announce our board of committee which I guarantee will consist of only those with extensive experience in golf development and in many international tournaments. The tour schedule will be announced soon and I hope to receive wide support from Thai female golfers,” Chanya added.

Chanya has always been a successful figure in business. As the CEO of Phoenix Golf Gold and Country Club, she has organized a host of internationally acclaimed events including the King’s Cup, Queen’s Cup, Royal Cup and Ladies European Tour Thailand Championship. She has always remained an enthusiast in local golf circles and has a determination to improve the standard of Thai golf.

The Thai Women’s Professional Golf Association has been established with the objective to support and promote Thai women’s golf activities. The association aims at organize local tour with world ranking points in the near future which will pave the way for Thai golfers to the international arena.
