In a season of dominance, Ridhima Dilawari, Tvesa Malik, and Jasmin Sekhar spearhead the sixth stage of the WPGT 2026 at Noida’s Jaypee Greens Golf Course. Having swept four of the first five events, these stars enter with a Rs 17 lakh purse on the line and 53 players vying for glory. Ridhima’s lead in the Order of Merit, with Jasmin in hot pursuit, promises high stakes.
Recapping the season: Jasmin triumphed in leg one, Ridhima in two and four, and Tvesa broke her winless run in three with a playoff win over Anvita Narendran at Oxford Golf Resort. Sneha Singh, third in rankings, sits this one out, opening doors for others.
Challengers abound, from Amandeep Drall’s pedigree to rising names like Sanvi Somu and Vidhatri Urs. The amateur contingent of seven, led by Mahreen Bhatia—the 2025 finale champ here—adds unpredictability. Fresh faces like Guntas Kaur Sandhu and Seerat Kang could steal the show, echoing Lavanya Gupta’s fifth-leg upset.
Tvesa’s third-leg drama unfolded dramatically: Trailing by one, she leveled on four with a bogey against Anvita’s double, then pulled ahead as Anvita faltered on six and eight, despite a late birdie. This win, her first since September 2023, signals a comeback.
The WGAI’s roster now boasts 62 pros, swelled by 14 newcomers—10 via Jaypee qualifier, four from IGUA Ladies OOM and WAGR. This expansion highlights women’s golf’s boom in India, with Jaypee Greens as a pivotal battleground. Expect shifts in standings post this major field showdown.
