The Ladies European Thailand Championship is a professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour and Thai LPGA Tour, first played in 2017.[1]
Atthaya Thitikul became the youngest ever winner on the Ladies European Tour by claiming victory in the 2017 championship on 9 July 2017, aged 14 years, 4 months and 19 days, beating the previous record held by Lydia Ko who won the 2013 New Zealand Women's Open as an amateur aged 15 years, 9 months and 17 days. Due to Thitikul's amateur status the top prize of €45,000 went to second placed Ana Menéndez of Mexico.[2]
