Sports season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While some locations have changed, the 2025 Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour season matches the 2024 season with 12 title events scheduled in eight cities.[1] These include eight standard singles title events, three major title events, and one mixed doubles event. Final rounds of the season's three majors (USBC Queens,[2] U.S. Women's Open[3] and PWBA Tour Championship) will be broadcast on national television (CBS Sports Network), as will the PWBA Anniversary Open.[1] All other events are broadcast on BowlTV, the USBC’s YouTube channel.

Two of the Tour stops feature three events each. The PWBA Summer Series – Cleveland had three events between May 28 and June 2.[4] The PWBA Tour Championship Week in August begins with two standard, open events. The third event, the PWBA Tour Championship major, has a 24-player starting field composed of all the season’s title winners, plus the top season points-earners among non-winners.[5]
The finals of the PWBA Anniversary Open were conducted in the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin in front of 6,559 fans — a record for a PWBA event. (The 2011 U.S. Women's Open was held in Cowboys Stadium in front of 8,017 fans, but that was during the PWBA's hiatus.)[6]
