The Asia Swing of the 2026 LPGA Tour is in full force, with the world’s top-ranked golfers teeing off in the 18th edition of the annual HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore on Wednesday evening.
A full 21 of the Top 25 ranked golfers — including all but one of the world’s Top 10 — will compete for the lion’s share of the tournament’s $3 million purse, with US star and world No. 2 Nelly Korda opting to sit out the Tour’s Asia Swing for the second straight year.
Leading the charge is No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, who joins the field in full form after winning the 2026 Honda LPGA Thailand on home soil on Sunday.
Thitikul will look to extend her winning ways against a field that boasts the tournament’s last four victors, led by 2025 title-winner No. 6 Lydia Ko, as the 13-year LPGA veteran from New Zealand defends her trophy while continuing to adapt her game.
“To be honest, now that I’ve been on tour for so long, my body, I know, is not the same as 10 years ago,” the 28-year-old said. “Sometimes I think the fatigue catches up to me more than where I am mentally. So I’m just trying to have a good balance of that.”
