LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR · THE COMPETITION GUIDE
Ladies European Tour (LET): A Guide to the Women’s Global Tour
The Ladies European Tour gives women’s professional golf a broad international footprint, linking national Opens, team events and tournaments across established and emerging markets.
The LET’s place in women’s golf
The Ladies European Tour is a major international circuit for women professionals. Its schedule combines national Opens, co-sanctioned events, team competitions and tournaments that take the tour into a range of countries and golfing cultures. That variety is one of its strengths: players compete in different weather, turf conditions and course styles, often while travelling between continents.
Season structure and rankings
The tour’s season is made up of individual events whose results feed into the season ranking and end-of-year honours. The event calendar and ranking names can change with sponsorship and season announcements, so this guide focuses on the lasting structure rather than publishing an annual fixture list. For current dates, venues, entry requirements and the latest ranking label, always check the LET’s official schedule.
How it connects with the wider game
LET tournaments often feature a mix of established tour members, emerging professionals and players building international experience. Some events are co-sanctioned with the LPGA Tour or other partners, broadening the field and adding different qualification routes. Team competitions such as the Solheim Cup also bring LET players into a wider international spotlight.
What fans should look for
- National Opens with local history and strong regional identity.
- Co-sanctioned tournaments where fields combine players from multiple tours.
- The season ranking and late-season events, which can shape tour status and future opportunities.
