Early Life & Family
Wannasaen was born on April 16, 2004, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Her father, Prasat Wannasaen, introduced her to golf around age seven, and she began formal lessons at age nine. She won Thailand’s National Junior Golf Championship in 2012 at just eight years old, and later captured the 2019 Thailand Amateur Match Play Championship as her amateur career developed.
Rise to Fame
Wannasaen turned professional in 2021. In 2022 she won six tournaments in Thailand along with one event on the LET Access Series, and she earned her LPGA Tour card for 2023 by finishing tied for sixth at the LPGA Q-Series.
Career History
As a 19-year-old rookie, Wannasaen won the 2023 Portland Classic after entering the tournament as a Monday qualifier, earning $225,000 for the victory. She won again at the 2024 Dana Open. In 2025 she tied for second at the Women’s PGA Championship, her best major finish to date, and recorded top-18 finishes at the Chevron Championship and the Evian Championship, though she missed the cut at that year’s U.S. Women’s Open and Women’s British Open. In 2026 she has continued to compete on tour, including a tied-for-9th finish at the ShopRite LPGA Classic and a tied-for-20th finish at the AIG Women’s British Open.
How They Built Their Wealth
Wannasaen’s income is built on LPGA Tour prize money, with official career earnings of approximately $3.1 million across two wins and ten top-10 finishes as of 2026. As with most touring professionals, she is also likely to earn additional income from sponsorships, though no specific endorsement deals or figures have been publicly documented, and no separate net worth estimate beyond her tournament earnings is verifiable.
Personal Life
Wannasaen has credited her father’s support and her family’s encouragement as central to her development in the sport from a young age.
Chanettee Wannasaen’s rise from a junior champion in Chiang Mai to a two-time LPGA Tour winner has been built on documented tournament earnings of roughly $3.1 million, the clearest verifiable measure of her golfing income to date.
