Ridhima Dilawari Aims for Continued Success in Women's Pro Golf Tour
Ridhima's Strong Start in the 2026 Season
Ridhima Dilawari has had an impressive run in the initial six events of the 2026 Women's Pro Golf Tour, securing victories in three of them. As the seventh leg commences at the Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Course in Mysuru, she aims to maintain her winning streak. This tournament marks the beginning of the second half of the domestic season, with the Par-70 course measuring just under 6000 yards.
Having clinched wins in the second, fourth, and sixth legs, Ridhima leads the Order of Merit standings significantly. Among the remaining competitors, Jasmine Shekar, Tvesa Malik, and amateur Lavanya Gupta have each claimed one victory, but Jasmine and Lavanya will not be participating this week.
Ridhima's Past Performance
In 2019, Ridhima had her best season, achieving five wins in 12 tournaments and finishing second in the Order of Merit behind Gaurika Bishnoi. Although she only won once in 2025, her current form is promising as she balances her participation in the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour, the AM Green IGPL Tour, and the Ladies European Tour, where she seeks additional opportunities.
Competitive Field Awaits
Ridhima will face tough competition from Vani Kapoor, a highly accomplished player on the Hero Women's Pro Golf Tour. Vani, who won the 2025 Hero Order of Merit with five victories, is eager to secure her first win of 2026 after competing in only three of the initial six events this year.
Other notable competitors include seasoned players like Amandeep Drall, Tvesa Malik, Neha Tripathi, and a revitalized Jahanvi Bakshi, along with Shweta Mansingh, Durga Nittur, Anvitha Narender, Sneha Singh, Khushi Khanijau, and more.
The tournament will also feature promising young talents such as Mannat Brar, Vidhatri Urs, and Heena Kang, among others. Additionally, the field includes 11 amateurs, highlighted by Zara Anand, Ananyaa Sood, Alysha Dutt, and Ceerat Kang, who are set to showcase their skills.

In the opening round, Ridhima Dilawari will compete alongside Eti Chaudhary and Khushi Khanijau, while Vani Kapoor is paired with Vrinda Yadav and amateur Nainika V Kumar.
