Prestigious Award for Thai Jaravee

Los Altos, California, United States: Four-time All-American and recent Duke graduate Jaravee Boonchant has been awarded the 2021 Juli Inkster Senior
Award presented by Workday, recognising the highest ranked women’s Division I collegiate golfer in her final year of eligibility for the 2020-21 season.

The award is named after Juli Inkster, a World Golf Hall-of-Fame member and Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) legend who was a three-time All-American at San Jose State (1979-82). She elected not to turn professional until after receiving her college degree, winning 17 individual titles during her college career.

As a result of winning the 2021 Juli Inkster Senior Award, Thai Jaravee will receive an exemption to the Cambia Portland Classic, taking place at The
Oregon Golf Club next week (September 16-19). She also will automatically advance to the second stage of LPGA Q-School (October 18-24) at Florida’s Plantation Golf and Country Club, and will join Inkster on a two-day mentorship retreat in northern California.

As a presenting sponsor of the Juli Inkster Senior Award, Workday will provide US$50,000 to help set Jaravee up for success. The US$50,000 will support
Jaravee’s mentorship retreat with Inkster and assist with her travel expenses as she kicks off her professional golf career.

Inkster said: “Jaravee had an amazing college career at Duke and stuck it out through the challenges of the global pandemic to earn her college degree at one of the most respected higher education institutions in the country. That says a lot about not only her performance on the course but also about her
goals and passions away from it. I look forward to mentoring Jaravee as she navigates the next stage in her professional and personal journeys.

“I also want to thank the Women’s Golf Coaches Association and Workday for partnering with me on this award. To have a player be honoured for her
commitment to her school, coaches and her team-mates is what this award is all about.”

Jaravee said: “Juli Inkster is one of my role models in golf. Her Hall of Fame career speaks for itself. Since I started playing golf, I have strived to win at
every level I have competed in. To receive this award from someone like Juli is truly an honour.

“I’m excited to have Juli as a mentor at the beginning of my professional career and I’m really looking forward to spending a couple of days with her. This
award is so special for me and for all women’s collegiate golfers. Thank you Workday and Juli for making this possible and giving us the opportunity to
chase after our dreams.”

Dan Brooks, Women’s Golf Coach at Duke University, said: “I was very excited to hear that Jaravee had won the Juli Inkster Senior Award. This award
is the most prestigious and meaningful of all, for the female collegiate golfer. It wraps many attributes into one all-encompassing recognition. The winner
has displayed incredible talent, maturity, perspective on life, perseverance, leadership (by example), and commitment beyond self.

“Jaravee represents all these traits. Her commitment to all her collegiate aspirations, and to our team, has been exemplary. I know I speak for all of Duke
University when I share how proud we are that Jaravee ploughed through the challenges of Covid, gained her degree with very high marks, and led us to an NCAA Championship and semi-final finish – while producing the third lowest scoring average in our team’s history.

“I was thrilled when Juli started this award. She won 17 times in college, completed her degree, and dominated on Tour. There should have always been
an award that honoured this incredible role model. Finally, thanks to Juli herself, the award exists. Hats off to Workday for supporting such an important
honour.”

Jaravee graduated from Duke in April with a degree in Statistics. A three-time All-ACC and four-time All-American selection, she accumulated a 71.99 stroke average over four seasons, the third-best career stroke average in Duke history. Her 54 even-or-under-par rounds ranks tied for fifth all-time at Duke. She also helped lead Duke to ACC Championships in 2018 and 2021, as well as the 2019 NCAA Women’s Golf Team National Championship.

The 14th-ranked player in the country on Golfstat and 13th ranking player on the Golfweek rankings as of the end of the 2020-21 college golf season, Jaravee currently resides in Orlando and is preparing for the Cambia Portland Classic, followed by Stage II of LPGA Q-School.
