Vani Kapoor and Ridhima Dilawari headline the field as the 14th leg of the 2026 Women's Professional Golf Tour (WPGT) tees off at Rambagh Golf Club in Jaipur on Thursday, 13 November 2026. The two in-form players — between them accounting for six wins and five runner-up finishes this season — go head-to-head with two events remaining on the domestic calendar.

Season Standings and Context

Ridhima Dilawari leads the Order of Merit having contested all 13 legs so far, winning four times and finishing runner-up on two occasions. Vani Kapoor, the 2025 Order of Merit winner, is second on the Money list from 10 starts, having secured two wins and three runner-up finishes. The penultimate status of Leg 14 makes it a critical points-gathering opportunity for both players.

Vani's Form and Momentum

Vani enters the week riding a confidence surge after her runner-up finish at the Hero Women's Indian Open in Gurugram — the best finish of her Ladies European Tour career. She carded rounds of 73, 69, 69 and 70 for a seven-under-par 281, finishing one behind Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum. She had led the field going into the final round after back-to-back 69s. On the domestic front, the 32-year-old claimed Leg 9 and then edged young Anvvi Dahiya in a three-hole playoff at Leg 13 for her second domestic title of 2026.

Ridhima's Dominant 2026 Run

Dilawari has been the standout performer of the domestic season. Her four titles came at Kalhaar Blues and Greens, Poona Golf Club, Jaypee Wishtown, and Prestige Golfshire — where she closed at 10-under 206, a single shot ahead of Mannat Brar, after three consecutive rounds under par. At the Hero Women's Indian Open, she finished tied 30th. Her most recent domestic outing at Leg 13 yielded a third-place finish behind Kapoor and Dahiya, and she will be eager to reclaim the winning habit at Rambagh.

Key Contenders in the Field

Tvesa Malik arrives with renewed confidence after finishing seventh at the Hero Women's Indian Open, posting rounds of 71, 73, 71 and 72 for a one-under 287 — a consistency she now hopes to replicate on home turf. Amandeep Drall, a former runner-up at the Women's Indian Open, and former Order of Merit champion Sneha Singh are also expected to challenge, alongside experienced campaigners Seher Atwal and Jasmine Shekar.

The young brigade adds further intrigue. Mannat Brar, who pushed Dilawari hard at Prestige Golfshire, will be looking to convert that near-miss into a title. Amateurs Ojaswini Saraswat — who earned widespread praise after becoming the youngest Indian to make the cut at the Women's Indian Open — Shiksha Jain and Mehak Lohan are also in the field, along with qualifier Arohi Kataria.

What to Watch

Absent from the Jaipur field are three of the season's winners — Vidhatri Urs, Anvitha Narender, and amateur Lavanya Gupta. With only Leg 15 to follow after Jaipur, the Order of Merit picture could crystallise significantly by the weekend. If Dilawari wins or finishes strongly while Kapoor struggles, the Merit title may effectively be settled before the season finale.
