SHOCKING REVEAL: Atthaya Thitikul Stuns Fans by Going Public with Boyfriend Ahead of 2026 LPGA Season – Meet the Mystery Man Behind the Thai Superstar

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the golf world, Thai LPGA sensation Atthaya “Jeeno” Thitikul has finally broken her silence on her private life, publicly revealing her boyfriend just weeks before the kickoff of the 2026 LPGA Tour.

The 22-year-old world-class golfer, known for keeping her personal matters under wraps, surprised fans with an intimate social media post introducing her partner: Tanakorn “Tan” Chaisri, a low-key Thai entrepreneur and longtime friend-turned-romance.

The announcement has left the golf community buzzing – and doubly shocked – as Thitikul discloses not just the relationship, but details that hint at a deep, supportive bond that’s been blooming away from the spotlight.

The Big Reveal: How Jeeno Introduced Tanakorn Chaisri

Thitikul, who turned 23 in February, dropped the bombshell on Instagram late last night with a series of candid photos from a private getaway in Thailand.

Captioned simply, “Grateful for you every day ❤️,” the post featured the couple smiling on a beach at sunset, holding hands during a casual dinner, and even a throwback shot from years ago.

Fans quickly identified her boyfriend as Tanakorn Chaisri, a 25-year-old Bangkok-based businessman involved in sustainable tech startups. Sources close to the couple say they’ve been dating quietly for over two years, starting as childhood acquaintances through mutual friends in Ratchaburi, Thitikul’s hometown.

“Jeeno has always been super private,” one insider told us. “But with the pressure of another massive season ahead, she wanted to share this happiness on her own terms. Tan has been her rock – traveling to tournaments when he can and always keeping things grounded.”

The shock factor? Thitikul has long been rumored to be single, focusing solely on her skyrocketing career. This reveal shatters that narrative, proving the world No. 1 contender has been nurturing a serious relationship all along.

Who Is Tanakorn Chaisri? Inside the Life of Jeeno’s Boyfriend

Tanakorn Chaisri isn’t a public figure like his girlfriend, which adds to the intrigue. The handsome entrepreneur graduated from Chulalongkorn University with a degree in engineering and now runs a green energy firm that’s gaining traction in Southeast Asia.

Friends describe him as “humble, funny, and incredibly supportive” – the perfect counterbalance to Thitikul’s high-stakes world. He’s not active on social media, preferring privacy, but those in the know say he’s a golf enthusiast who first bonded with Jeeno over shared drives at local ranges as teens.

“Tan’s not into the fame,” a source revealed. “He cheers her on from afar, sends encouragement before big rounds, and helps her unwind after tough weeks. It’s real, low-key love.”

The couple reportedly kept things secret to protect their relationship from media scrutiny, especially during Thitikul’s record-breaking 2025 season where she reclaimed World No. 1 and shattered earnings records.

Why This Reveal Has Fans Double-Shocked

Thitikul’s announcement couldn’t come at a more pivotal time. As the 2026 LPGA season approaches – starting with the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions later this month – Jeeno is favored to dominate once again. Her 2025 highlights included multiple wins, Olympic representation, and over $6 million in earnings.

Fans have always respected her privacy, often speculating she was single and laser-focused on golf. Past rumors linked her platonically to caddie Banpot Bunpisansaree or playing partners like Ruoning Yin, but nothing romantic.

This double surprise – first, that she’s been in a relationship, and second, introducing Tanakorn so openly – has sparked endless reactions:

“Jeeno has a boyfriend?! Mind blown! Happy for her though ❤️⛳” “Tanakorn who? This came out of nowhere! Queen deserves happiness!” “Shocked x2 – she’s been hiding this gem? Goals!”

Some wonder if going public will add pressure, while others praise her for owning her story.

Jeeno’s Journey: From Prodigy to Power Couple

Born February 20, 2003, in Ratchaburi, Thailand, Atthaya Thitikul burst onto the scene as the youngest pro tournament winner at age 14. Nicknamed “Jeeno” for approachability, she’s amassed 18 worldwide victories, LPGA Rookie of the Year honors, and multiple stints at World No. 1.

Off the course, she’s close with parents Montree and Siriwan, who introduced her to golf for health reasons, and sister Pachari. Family remains her anchor, and now Tanakorn joins that inner circle.

As Thitikul gears up for 2026 majors and another shot at history, this reveal humanizes the superstar. Will boyfriend Tanakorn become a fixture in the gallery? Early signs point to yes – he’s reportedly planning to attend select events.

What This Means for the 2026 LPGA Season

With rivals like Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko watching closely, Thitikul’s personal happiness could fuel even greater on-course fire. “Love makes everything better,” she hinted in a follow-up story.

The golf world is abuzz: Is this the start of Jeeno’s most dominant era yet?

Fans are flooding comments with support: “Jeeno and Tan – cutest couple in golf!” “Shocked but so happy for you!”
