What is the U.S. Women's Open playoff format?
The USGA employs a two-hole aggregate session for playoffs in the U.S. Women's Open. If two or more players are tied after 72 holes of regulation, they will play two additional holes as predetermined by championship officials. If players are still tied, they will compete in sudden death. This is the same system the USGA uses for the men's U.S. Open. The U.S. Women's Open has used a two-hole aggregate since 2018, which was also the tournament's most recent playoff (won by Ariya Jutanugarn in sudden death). From 2007-17, the USGA used a three- and four-hole system. Prior to that, an 18-hole playoff was used the day after the final round.

What is the U.S. Women's Open playoff format? (It's the same for the men)
What is the U.S. Women's Open playoff format? (It's the same for the men) What happens if things are still tied up at the end of 72 holes at the 2025 U.S. Women's Open? Glad you asked. The USGA uses a two-hole aggregate playoff format if there are any ties after 72 holes. If there are still golfers tied after the two holes, the format flips to sudden death until a winner is determined. The USGA went to this format for the Women's Open in 2018. The previous format was a three- or four-hole aggregate, used from 2007 to 2017. Priot to that, the Women's Open playoff was 18 holes held the day after the final round. When was the last playoff at the U.S. Women's Open? In 2018, the first year of the current playoff format, Ariya Jutanugarn won in a playoff at Shoal Creek. There has not been a playoff since. U.S. Women's Open playoff history 2018 - Ariya Jutanugarn, Shoal Creek 2016 - Brittany Lang, CordeValle 2011 - So Yeon Ryu, The Broadmoor 2006 - Annika Sorenstam, Newport Country Club 2003 - Hilary Lunke, Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club 1998 - Seri Pak, Blackwolf Run 1992 - Patty Sheehan, Oakmont Country Club 1987 - Laura Davies, Plainfield Country Club 1976 - JoAnne Gunderson Carner, Rolling Green Golf Club 1964 - Mickey Wright, San Diego Country Club 1956 - Kathy Cornelius, Northland Country Club 1953 - Betsy Rawls, Country Club of Rochester Is the U.S. Women's Open playoff the same as the U.S. Open? Yes, it is. In 2018, the USGA went to the current playoff format for both championships. The two-hole aggregate followed by sudden death is also used for both of the Senior U.S. Opens.

Monday Leaderboard: Wild finish includes playoffs, slow play, rules questions, a whiff and a near-drowning
Welcome to the Monday Leaderboard, where we run down the weekend's top stories in the wonderful world of golf. Grab an Arnold Palmer, pull up a chair and behold one of the wildest finishes to a major in years… At the first major of the LPGA season, the Chevron Championship saw the Masters' wild playoff finish … and raised it. No, there wasn't a Rory McIlroy-esque legacy-defining win, but the 72nd hole and the one-hole playoff featured stunning shots, maddening slow play, heartbreak misfires, rules controversies … what else do you need? It was seriously one of the strangest finishes to a tournament, much less a major, that's unfurled in quite some time. Start with Ariya Jutanugarn, who probably could have wrapped up the tournament on the 18th with a par. But her tee shot went wide, and she opted to fire at the grandstands as, basically, a handy (and controversial) backstop. But her third shot did not go as planned … Scenes on the 72nd hole. Ariya Jutanugarn struggles on her final hole and finishes with bogey to join the clubhouse leaders at now on NBC. — LPGA (@LPGA) April 27, 2025 The whiff meant she got in with a bogey to fall into a tie with Hyo Joo Kim at seven-under. Soon afterward, Ruoning Yin got up-and-down with a birdie to finish at seven-under. In the final grouping of the day, Haeran Ryu took an extraordinarily long time to play an approach and determine a drop. And then she just went and buried the chip from the drop zone: Haeran Ryu what?! 🤯From the drop circle to the bottom of the cup in a matter of seconds — LPGA (@LPGA) April 27, 2025 But her playing partners, Lindy Duncan and Mao Saigo, both managed to get up and down to finish at seven-under and elbow into the playoff themselves. Somehow, a playoff field of five lasted only one hole, as Saigo was the only one to birdie the 18th and claim the victory. Oh, and just when you thought the day couldn't get any stranger … Saigo nearly drowned on the Chevron's traditional leap into the pond: Mao and her team stayed in the water longer than most! — Beth Ann Nichols (@GolfweekNichols) April 27, 2025 'I'm not really a good swimmer,' Saigo said through an interpreter. 'When I went inside, it was deep and at first, I thought I was going to drown.' After a few stressful moments — the pond is 10 feet deep in some places — Saigo was pulled from the water. What a tournament. Last week, Andrew Novak barely missed out on his first PGA Tour victory, losing to Justin Thomas at the RBC Heritage. He got his chance for redemption just seven days later at the Zurich Classic team-play event, and this time, alongside Ben Griffin, he held on for the victory. It marked the first win on Tour for either Novak or Griffin. The two won in their 100th and 90th PGA Tour starts, respectively, carding a combined 28-under in the alternating shot/best ball event. Twins Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard finished one stroke off the lead. Joaquin Niemann continues his reign of terror in LIV Golf, claiming the tour's Mexico event over the weekend to further solidify his hold on the points lead. Niemann began the tournament's final day three strokes behind Bryson DeChambeau and two behind Cam Smith, but held strong as those two major winners faltered to win by three strokes. The victory entitles him to an invitation to the U.S. Open, per the USGA's new LIV-friendly rules. It will now be up to Niemann to back up all his lobbying for major spots; he has never finished in the top 10 in a major. Niemann isn't necessarily the face of LIV Golf — DeChambeau and Jon Rahm hold that honor — but Niemann needs to prove that success on the LIV tour can translate to success on more prestigious larger-field, cut-line events. He'll get his next chance at a major in two weeks at Quail Hollow. Sixty-year-old Stephen Ames — who once had the unfortunate distinction of talking trash about Tiger Woods and then getting beaten 9-and-8 by Woods in a 2006 match play event — had a fine afternoon at the Mitsubishi Electric Classic over the weekend, carding an albatross on the 18th at TPC Sugarloaf. He finished the tournament in solo 8th place, and pocketed roughly an extra $15,000 for this shot: ALBATROSS FOR AMES!!The defending champion ends his week with the rarest shot in golf 🔥@StephenAmesPGA | @MEClassicGolf — PGA TOUR Champions (@ChampionsTour) April 27, 2025 Chandler Phillips risked dignity, a mud bath and a gator attack on Saturday for this brilliant escape from the muck at TPC Louisiana. Magnificent farmer's tan here, too. beware of the gators @chandlerphilli6 — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) April 26, 2025 Phillips and playing partner Jacob Bridgeman would go on to finish T10 at the Zurich, and solo first for style. Coming up next: PGA Tour: The CJ Cup Byron Nelson (TPC Craig Ranch, Texas); LPGA: Black Desert Championship (Ivins, Utah); PGA Tour Champions: Insperity Invitational (The Woodlands, Texas) LIV: LIV Golf Korea (Incheon, South Korea).

Brandel Chamblee launches brutal attack on new target after vocal LIV Golf criticism
Brandel Chamblee, the former PGA Tour pro turned commentator, has been notably vocal over the past few years regarding his disapproval of the LIV Golf circuit. Last July, he went public to say: "LIV Golf has been detrimental to the competitiveness of (players') careers when they compete at the highest level." But this week, Chamblee's grievances found a new target: the LPGA tour and the setup at a key hole during the Chevron Championship. The seasoned analyst, who previously questioned Rory McIlroy's ability, expressed disappointment on social media about how the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas , was presented. It comes after Bryson DeChambeau fumed over the course at LIV Mexico.

"Why is there a grandstand so close to the back edge of a closing hole par 5 that players can hit in two? "It allows players to bounce into the grandstands but also forces everyone all week to walk in the same area, no doubt chewing up the spot where players have to chip from." His comments came after a near-miss incident involving Ariya Jutanugarn, who narrowly avoided hitting a spectator, and then lost the championship in a playoff round. Chamblee elucidated his criticism, noting; "Ariya Jutanugarn's ball should have been off the back of the green some ten yards, leaving a basic chip, but instead was in a horrid lie from which she whiffed her chip and then lost in a playoff." Mao Saigo poses with the trophy after winning the Chevron Championship (Image: Getty Images) Mao Saigo ultimately clinched the victory, outplaying four competitors in the tense playoff, marking her inaugural win on the tour as 2024's LPGA Rookie of the Year seeks to make her presence known. Saigo claimed victory after a birdie on the first playoff hole. She excitedly shared, "I did my best to calm down and I shot and it went in." Jutanugarn was poised for triumph throughout the final round but stumbled with a bogey on the 18th hole. Reflecting on the game, she remarked, "The front nine was very solid especially with the eagle, but back nine just couple mistakes on par 5 that I made; two bogeys."

He hasn't shied away from critiquing those golfers who've recently defected to the breakaway LIV Golf series. "With the exception of DeChambeau, not one LIV player managed a top-five in a major in 2024," Chamblee aired his views on X last summer. Expanding on Bryson's season, he added, "Bryson is without a doubt one of the most compelling figures in the game, and his newfound engagement with the fans was a highlight of the major season, but on the whole LIV players were a huge disappointment in the 2024 majors."
