Yubol began her professional golf career in 2017 at age 15, achieving early success on the Thai LPGA Tour in 2018 by winning five consecutive titles, which led to her securing the season-long Order of Merit at just 16 years old.In 2022, Yubol continued her ascent by winning decisively at the Trust Golf Links Series at Musselburgh Golf Club on the LET Access Series with a five-stroke margin. Later that year, she successfully passed the LPGA Qualifying School, earning her place on the LPGA Tour for the 2023 season.
At the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Yubol achieved notable success, winning two gold medals for Thailand in both the Individual and Team competitions, alongside teammates Eila Galitsky and Patcharajutar Kongkraphan.

The 2024 U.S. Women's Open represented a significant achievement for Yubol, as she achieved her highest LPGA Tour finish to date, tying for fifth place despite starting the tournament ranked 245th in the world.
