INCLUDES LIVE TV FINALS FROM JUNIOR GOL
ARLINGTON, Texas – A Junior Gold Championships collaboration, a trip to the Pacific Northwest and a stop at the longtime home of pro women’s bowling highlight the 2020 Professional Women’s Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour schedule.
The future of the sport will be on hand in Las Vegas in 2020 when the live televised finals of the PWBA Las Vegas Open will be conducted as part of the Junior Gold Opening Ceremony at The Orleans Arena.
The Las Vegas Open will run July 8-12, with preliminary rounds conducted at Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino. The Orleans Arena is located inside The Orleans Hotel and Casino and seats approximately 9,000 spectators.
The 2020 PWBA Tour season will open April 23 when the PWBA Tour makes its second consecutive trip to Arizona for the PWBA Tucson Open at Lucky Strike Bowl. The tour then heads to Spokane, Washington, for the first time in PWBA history for the PWBA Spokane Open (April 30-May 2) at Lilac Lanes at Cedar Creek. The PWBA last visited Washington in 1986 for an event in Tacoma.
A familiar venue returns to the schedule as Steve Cook’s Fireside Lanes in Sacramento, California, will host the PWBA Sacramento Open (May 7-9), followed by the season’s first major, the United States Bowling Congress Queens. The Queens will be in Las Vegas for the first time since 2016, with the South Point Bowling Plaza serving as the venue for the May 13-19 event.
The Midwest swing of the 2020 PWBA Tour schedule begins in Parma Heights, Ohio, where Yorktown Lanes will host the PWBA Greater Cleveland Open (May 28-30) for the second consecutive year.
The tour then returns to its historical roots in Rockford, Illinois, where the PWBA was headquartered through 2003. Cherry Bowl will host a PWBA event for the first time in 16 years when the PWBA Rockford Open is held June 4-6.

Following the PWBA Las Vegas Open in July, the PBA/PWBA Striking Against Breast Cancer Mixed Doubles once again returns to Copperfield Bowl in Houston on July 23-26. The event is operated by 2019 PWBA Hall of Fame inductee Donna Conners and 1987 U.S. Women’s Open champion Carol Norman.
