Arpichaya Yubol

Arpichaya Yubol (; born 3 May 2002) is a Thai professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour.

Yubol turned professional in 2017 and became one of the leading players on the Thai LPGA Tour the following year, winning five consecutive events and the season-long Order of Merit at the age of 16. She later won on the LET Access Series at the 2022 Trust Golf Links Series - Musselburgh and represented Thailand at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, where she won gold medals in the individual and team events. Her best finish in a major championship is a tie for fifth at the 2024 U.S. Women's Open. On the LPGA Tour, her best results are runner-up finishes at the Riviera Maya Open and ShopRite LPGA Classic in 2026.

Early life Yubol was born on 3 May 2002 in Saraburi, Thailand.

Professional career Yubol began her professional golf career in 2017 at age 15, achieving early success on the Thai LPGA Tour in 2018 by winning five consecutive titles, which led to her securing the season-long Order of Merit at just 16 years old.

In 2022, Yubol continued her ascent by winning decisively at the Trust Golf Links Series at Musselburgh Golf Club on the LET Access Series with a five-stroke margin. Later that year, she successfully passed the LPGA Qualifying School, earning her place on the LPGA Tour for the 2023 season.

At the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Yubol achieved notable success, winning two gold medals for Thailand in both the Individual and Team competitions, alongside teammates Eila Galitsky and Patcharajutar Kongkraphan. Her victory in the individual event was unexpected, as the previously dominant Indian golfer Aditi Ashok faced challenges in the final round. Yubol's consistent performance throughout the tournament underscored her emerging prominence in international golf.

The 2024 U.S. Women's Open represented a significant achievement for Yubol, as she achieved her highest LPGA Tour finish to date, tying for fifth place despite starting the tournament ranked 245th in the world. In May 2026, Yubol achieved her career-best finish on the LPGA Tour by securing solo second place at the Riviera Maya Open in Mexico, finishing four strokes behind Nelly Korda. Later that month, she recorded her second runner-up finish of the 2026 season at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, closing with a five-under-par 66 to finish alone in second place, one stroke behind Céline Boutier. During the second round, she was assessed a one-stroke slow-play penalty, with her Saturday score changed from 73 to 74.
