The stepladder finals are set at the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open. After 56 games of qualifying, the cashers round and match play at Royal Pin Woodland in Indianapolis, the field has been reduced from 107 players to five.
Malaysia’s Sin Li Jane will enter Tuesday night’s finals as the No. 1 seed. It is her second U.S. Women’s Open top seed in three years at the same center. In 2024, Malaysia’s star went all the way, winning the eagle trophy against Latvia’s Diana Zavjalova before later claiming the 2024 PWBA Player of the Year award.
A rematch of the 2024 final is still possible, as Zavjalova also made the
stepladder finals as the No. 3 seed.
To reach Sin again, she will first have
to face the winner of the opening match between No. 4 seed Jillian Martin and
No. 5 seed Jordan Snodgrass. The winner of that match would then meet
Ukraine’s Dasha Kovalova, who qualified as the No. 2 seed.
The winner of the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open will earn the major title, the green jacket, the eagle trophy and the $60,000 first prize.
The stepladder finals will take place Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network.
