Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand, photo) has joined Hana Financial Group.
On the 15th, it was announced that they signed a sponsorship contract with Thitikul, the youngest winner in the history of the Ladies European Tour (LET). She started playing golf at the age of six and rose to No. 1 in the amateur world rankings. In 2017, at the age of 14 years and 4 months, she won the Ladies European Thailand Championship, collecting the winner's trophy and achieving two wins as an amateur. Since joining the LET in 2020, she has been a promising player following in the footsteps of Thai sisters Moriya and Ariya Jutanugarn.
Thitikul first connected with the domestic group as an invited player at the Hana Financial Group Championship on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour in October 2019. She attracted attention with her explosive driving and stable iron shots, finishing tied for 12th, the best amateur result. She expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "I am very happy to be able to work with a leading financial company in golf powerhouse South Korea," and added, "I will stand at the top on various global stages."
