2023 Honda LPGA Thailand field

The 2023 Honda LPGA Thailand will feature a 72-player field headlined by the likes of Lydia Ko, Nelly Korda, Minjee Lee and Brooke Henderson, among others. The four-day tournament, which marks the second event of the season, will have nine out of the top 10 and a total of 37 of the top 50 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings on its field.

Apart from the big names, the Thai event will also see four rookies in contention. Jaravee Boonchant, Natthakritta Vongtaveelap, Chanettee Wannasaen and Arpichaya Yubol will all be on the pitch owing to sponsor exemptions. Reigning U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Saki Baba is another special name on the field.

Meanwhile, some of LPGA’s notable names are missing from the field as well. Players like Lexi Thompson and 2018 winner Jessica Korda will be watching the tournament from the sidelines.
