Vani Kapoor’s career-best Ladies European Tour finish and Ridhima Dilawari’s domestic dominance will converge at Rambagh Golf Club when the penultimate leg of the 2026 Hero Women’s Professional Golf Tour begins in Jaipur.
Ridhima leads the Hero rankings after four victories and two runner-up finishes from 13 starts. Her wins have come at Kalhaar Blues and Greens, Poona Golf Club, Jaypee Wishtown and Prestige Golfshire, where she finished at 10-under to defeat Mannat Brar by one stroke.
Vani arrives with different momentum. The 2025 rankings champion finished second at the Hero Women’s Indian Open, closing at seven-under after entering the final round with the lead. It was her best LET result and followed two domestic victories this season, including a three-hole playoff win over Anvvi Dahiya in Leg 13.
Tvesa Malik also brings encouraging form after finishing seventh at the National Open. Sneha Singh, Jasmine Shekar, Mannat Brar, Amandeep Drall and Seher Atwal strengthen a field featuring most of this season’s winners.
The amateur interest will centre on 13-year-old Ojaswini Saraswat, who recently became the youngest Indian to make a Ladies European Tour cut. Shiksha Jain, Mehak Lohan and qualifier Arohi Kataria complete a young group seeking to challenge the established professionals.
