The 2024 Ladies European Tour is a series of golf tournaments for elite female golfers from around the world. The tournaments are sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour (LET).[1]

Changes for 2024

[edit]

Tournaments

[edit]

The Australian swing with Women's NSW Open and Australian Women's Classic returned after a one-year hiatus, while the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland, co-sanctioned with the LPGA Tour, was removed from the schedule after three seasons.[2]

The Belgian Ladies Open, Ladies Finnish Open and La Sella Open in Spain were not part of the schedule at the time of announcement, but the schedule included two potential events in Europe in June and September. The La Sella Open was later confirmed for the September slot and the Ladies Italian Open for June.[3] In September, the Wistron Ladies Open was added while the Mallorca Ladies Open was cancelled due to lack of sponsors.[4]

Purses

[edit]

The prize money for the Aramco Saudi Ladies International remained at US$5m, matching the men's Saudi International on the Asian Tour, making the purse the third largest on the LET after the majors.[5]
