The St Louis Open acts as the second tournament on the 2026 Predator Women’s Pro Billiard Series from April 3-8 in Missouri, with the eventual champion receiving the $27,000 top prize.
After Wei Tzu-Chien struck the jackpot in Las Vegas in February, the world’s elite female players travel onto the Gateway City for the inaugural staging of the 10-ball event, which takes place alongside the Men’s World 8-Ball Championship.
Women’s world 10-ball champion Chezka Centeno, Jasmin Ouschan and Kristina Tkach will be amongst those competing under the Gateway Arch, as will the likes of Seo Seoa, Rubilen Amit, Kelly Fisher and Chou Chieh-Yu.
Pia Filler will compete in her first tournament since becoming the new women’s world number one, while Han Yu, Liu Shasha, Fu Xiaofang and Muyan Zhang have all travelled from China for the lucrative event.
American teenagers Sofia Mast and Savannah Easton will compete on home turf, with other notable entrants including Margarita Fefilova, China Open champion Chihiro Kawahara of Japan, Bulgaria’s Kristina Zlateva and Australia’s Meng-Hsia Hung.
The Women’s St Louis Open is double elimination until 16 players remain and uses Predator’s unique format, with three sets of race-to-four being contested. Should the third set be level at 3-3, a shootout will determine the winner.
An amendment to the Predator Pro Billiard Series for 2026 sees early shots on the 10 ball now become illegal. Players must sink the 10 ball when it is the lowest-numbered ball and with a proper call in order to win each rack, and the ball will be re-spotted should it be potted earlier.
Free coverage will be broadcast throughout the duration of the tournament via the Billiard TV websiteand Pro Billiard TV on YouTube.
