Snodgrass earns High Average Award for 2025 PWBA Tour season
September 05, 2025
ARLINGTON, Texas – For the second time in her career, Jordan Snodgrass of Adrian, Michigan, claimed the Professional Women’s Bowling Association High Average Award, knocking down 58,435 pins over 267 games for an average of 218.86 during the 2025 PWBA Tour season.
Her best stretch of the season came between the BowlTV Open and the U.S. Women’s Open when she made four consecutive championship-round appearances, won her sixth career title (the PWBA Bowlers Journal Waterloo Open) and recorded the highest 12-game qualifying score (3,018 at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Open) since the PWBA Tour’s 2015 relaunch. Snodgrass was also just one of two players to cash in every PWBA event this season; the other was Bryanna Coté of Tucson, Arizona.
“(Winning this award) means I’m doing something right, honestly,” Snodgrass said. “The weeks I feel aren’t my best or just aren’t great, they actually are good. It shifts my perspective a little bit that I actually did better than I thought.”
Snodgrass led or tied for the lead in five statistical categories during the 2025 season: average; championship-round appearances (five); match-play appearances (seven); top-12 finishes (eight) and cashes (11). Her consistency throughout the season also put her in the running for the PWBA Player of the Year award, where she eventually finished second to Singapore’s New Hui Fen by a narrow margin of 1,425 points.
“My goal each season is to cash in every event. I’ve been one of a few people to do that the past couple of seasons, and I’m really proud of that,” said Snodgrass. “It’s all about advancing for me that keeps me motivated and grounded. Make the first cut, make the second cut, make the third cut, make the show. It’s a stair step, and you can’t get to the end without the first one.
“My mindset shifted to that, and each task is easier to handle when looking at it as small steps. I just try and bowl my best because I bowl for me and me only; I want to make me proud. That’s just a really big key to my success. It’s not about proving something to anyone. I bowl free without anything weighing over me, and that helps a lot.”
As she turns her attention toward the offseason, she’ll be doing more bowling than she normally would in preparation for 2026 and has her eyes on building her resume as she approaches her age-30 season in 2026.
“Usually, when I’m done with a season, I’m drained and don’t want to bowl, but the way this season ended has me feeling hungry for more and the itch to keep competing,” she said. “The goal is to cash every event, make shows and win. And when I can do all those things, the other things take care of themselves, like Player of the Year.
“POY is such a tremendous accolade to add to my resume again that many don’t have, but truthfully, I just want to win titles. I want to have enough on my resume to be inducted into the PWBA Hall of Fame one day. That’s what it’s all about.”
