    Thongchai Jaidee

    Thongchai Jaidee (Thai, born November 8, 1969) is a Thai golfer who plays on the Asian Tour and the European Tour.

    Thongchai didn’t play golf until he was sixteen, and he later went into the Royal Thai Army. He didn’t turn professional until he was around thirty years old, but he soon achieved success on the Asian Tour, topping the tour’s order of merit in 2001 and 2004. He first played in a Major championship in the 2001 U.S. Open and finished tied 74th. In February 2004 he became the first Thai to win a tournament on the European Tour by winning the Carlsberg Malaysian Open, an event which it co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour. In 2005 he successfully defended his title. In 2006 he received a special invitation to play in the Masters Tournament. He was the second Thai to play in the Masters after Sukree Onsham, who did so in 1970 and 1971, and by doing so, he became the first Thai to play in all four major championships.

    After his victory in the Volvo Masters of Asia in 2006 he reached 75 in the Official World Golf Rankings. His best year-end ranking on the European Order of Merit has been 37th in 2006.

    Thongchai was the first man to win US$2 million on the Asian Tour.
