Career victories:
Compatriot Thongchai Jaidee has the most titles with 12. The veteran golfer has also won a title apiece on the Omega China Tour and Mercedes-Benz Tour this year.
It was in 2005 that the Thai enjoyed his best year to date when he won four times, the most wins by a player in a single season, en route to winning the Order of Merit for the first time.
Thaworn has an unorthodox swing with his hands moving directly above his head at the top of the backswing. He also has a long extended, much photographed, follow through.
He once said he did not see the need to change his golf swing as "it worked well for me during my amateur days and it works now".
He is short game wizard, thanks to countless hours on the practice green. His golfing attire often has a tinge of black as it is his lucky colour.
