Atthaya Thitkul has started the 2024 season. The 21-year-old missed three months and eight tournaments on the LPGA Tour due to her left thumb injury. She made a great comeback at the Chevron Championship and is eyeing the $7,900,000 purse with her being in the top 10.
Jeeno carded five birdies in round 1, six in round two, and fiercely proceeded with three more in the third round. Still rising in the sport, Thitkul is the youngest player to win a professional golf tour event at the age of 14. With the list of her glorious achievements, it intrigues what tools this young champion opted for for her smooth performances on the greens.

For her driver, Thitkul uses Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond 9° loft, which is 45.5 inches long, with a Fujikura Ventus Red 5S shaft. The cost of this driver is $449.99, and it comes with a higher MOI and increased forgiveness. The golfer regarded it as her “favorite club,” and her spin rate, club head, and ball speed have improved since she started using it.
The fairway woods used by Jeeno are Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, 15° loft, which works better with the Basileus FWSS 60S shaft. This hybrid is priced at $279.99. This club helps the golfer hit it longer, feel comfortable, and meet expectations. ”The hybrid has been in my bag since 2021. I’m very comfortable with it, so I’m reluctant to change” said the young golfer, according to Australian Golf Digest.
The other one she has in her bag is a Callaway Apex UW hybrid, with a loft of 22°, that goes well with a Basileus UT 70SR shaft and is priced at $299.99. The tool is versatile and still easy to hit. For her irons, the LPGA Pro uses Callaway Apex Pro, a 4-iron through-pitching wedge with the Shimada K 3001 shafts. It helps the golfer hit high enough to stop shots on the greens, and its price starts at $1,505.

The wedges used by this LPGA pro are Callaway Jaws Raw with a 48°, 52°, and 58° loft, which she uses with Shimada K HW 120 shafts. Each one of her wedges has the nickname “Jeeno” with stars stamped on it. This one is priced at $179.99.
Moving further, after a visit to the Callaway Performance Centre in Carlsbad, she started to use the putter Odyssey Toulon Atlanta, 33.5 inches, 3°. Priced at $449.99, this putter controls sound and feel by channeling vibration. Talking about her putter, she said, “It’s much larger in shape than my previous putter, but the style suits my eye, and I like the feel. I have a Texas-themed headcover that I got in Dallas. It’s cool.”
The golf ball in the Champion’s bag is also from the Callaway, and yes, it has a “J” on it. Moreover, she decorates her Callaway Chrome Soft X by drawing a crown on it and also puts different colored grips on her clubs as well.
