In 2022, Wannasaen won six tournaments in Thailand, including hat-trick win for the first three Thailand Mixed series events.[9][3] On 8 July, she won the Trust Golf Links Series on the LET Access Series at Ramside Hall Golf Club in Durham, England.[4] She shot a career-best and course-record round when she carded nine-under-par 64 in the second round.[3] Three weeks later, she finished tied for 24th at the Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open on the LPGA Tour and earned a place in the Women's British Open.[10] In December, she earned her card for the 2023 LPGA Tour after finished tied for sixth at the qualifying school.[11]

2023[edit]

On 3 September, at age 19, Wannasaen, as a Monday qualifier, got her first win on the LPGA Tour at the Portland Classic after shooting a career-low bogey-free round of 9-under 63 in the final round to win by four shots over China's Lin Xiyu. In the final round, she made seven birdies, and also an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole, shooting a 30 on the front nine; 33 on the back nine at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon. She set the new tournament scoring record by five strokes with a 26-under 262 total and became the third qualifier to win on the tour, first since Canada’s Brooke Henderson won the same event in 2015. Before winning the title, she was ranked 367th in the Women's World Golf Rankings, having missed nine straight cuts, made only two cuts before in her rookie season.[12][5] Following the event, her world ranking improved 315 places to No. 52.[13][14]
