Cheyenne Bubenheim rises as cornhole’s top-ranked woman and champion

Cheyenne Bubenheim is not riding one hot streak. She has built a resume that keeps showing up in every format cornhole offers, and that is what makes her durability stand out in a sport where titles can vanish as fast as they arrive. At 25, based in DeLand, Florida, Bubenheim has already stacked enough wins, rankings and statistical proof to force a tougher question than simply whether she is elite: is she the benchmark?

The answer keeps pointing toward yes. In June 2024, she was ranked as the top woman in the American Cornhole League and 22nd overall, a placement that reflected more than reputation. Forbes reported she had earned about $90,000 in prize money two years earlier, about $77,000 the year after that, and more than $20,000 a year in endorsements, while also managing the physical demands of competition after playing while pregnant and returning to action seven days after giving birth.

The trophies explain why the ranking held up. CornholeDB credits Bubenheim with the 2023 ACL Pro Shootout Women’s Singles title, the 2023 ACL World Women’s Singles title and the 2023 ACL World Women’s Doubles title with Sarah Cassidy. Her list runs back through 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019: ACL Pro Shootout Women’s Singles titles in 2022 and 2021, Women’s Singles World titles in 2022 and 2021, Women’s Doubles World titles in 2022 and 2020 with Cassidy, and a 2019 ACL World Co-ed Doubles title with Tanner Halbert. That kind of spread across singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles is what separates a champion from a one-event story.

The numbers behind the titles are just as sturdy. CornholeDB lists Bubenheim with a 2023 Pro Singles record of 20-12, a 9.87 PPR and a 38.95 percent four-bag rate, along with a 17-10 Pro Doubles mark and a 9.67 PPR. Her broader singles winning percentage is listed at 75 percent overall, which is the kind of consistency that makes her hard to dismiss even in seasons when the field tightens.

Her rise also tracks with the sport’s own growth. The American Cornhole League launched in 2015, and by 2021 Bubenheim had become the first woman to reach a pro singles final. She turned pro in 2019, won the 2022 ACL Woman of the Year award and kept adding hardware while partnering with Jeremy Frazier on the Florida Freeze. Sarah Cassidy, her most frequent title partner, has been a repeat winner too, and the league has publicly grouped the two among the most successful female players in the sport’s history.

Bubenheim’s case is now bigger than a title count. In a league where no woman had won the gender-neutral pro singles championship by June 2024, she is still the standard rising players are chasing, because her dominance has lasted across formats, across seasons and across the sport’s own evolution.
