Ladies European Tour

The Ladies European Tour (LET for short) is an annual series of golf tournaments for professional golfers . It is mainly held in Europe , but also in Australia , South Africa and Dubai .

The tournament series was introduced in 1979 and has since had great difficulty establishing itself alongside the very popular American women's tournament series LPGA Tour . In 2011 , the LET held 27 tournaments (one of which was in Germany ) with a total prize money of around 11 million euros. The two most important tournaments by far, the Masters in France and the Women's British Open in England , were held together with the American LPGA.

qualification

In addition to various exceptions, the 90 most successful players from the previous year generally receive a tour ticket for the next season. The decisive factor here is the money ranking, the so-called Order of Merit . All other professional golfers have to take part in a multi-level qualification tournament, the LET Qualifying School, and take one of the first 30 places there.
