Summary

The U.S. Women's Open employs a two-hole aggregate playoff format for tied players after 72 holes. If players remain tied after the two-hole playoff, the competition moves to sudden death. The last playoff occurred in 2018, when Ariya Jutanugarn won at Shoal Creek. This structure mirrors the playoff format used in the U.S. Open.
