Thitikul's average score of -0.900 under-par on the designated holes was enough to edge out South Korea's Haeran Ryu by 0.077, despite not competing since the Maybank Championship in October. The Challenge selects one hole per tournament and determines winners based on the best average score to par from their top two scores on these holes.

The 21-year-old Thai golfer has had a solid season, including a victory at the Dow Championship alongside Ruoning Yin. In the men's competition, Tyrrell Hatton claimed the 2022-2023 PGA Tour Aon Risk Reward Challenge, while Angel Yin was last year's LPGA winner.
Meanwhile, World No.1 Nelly Korda continues to dominate the Race to CME Globe standings, securing another victory at The Annika Driven by Gainbridge at Pelican with a final round 67, holding off challenger Charley Hull.
