The Inextricable Bond Between the Ladies European Tour and Chinese Golf
In 2008, the Ladies European Tour made its debut in mainland China with the Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open. This was the first LET-sanctioned event in mainland China, marking the formal integration of Chinese women’s professional golf with international standards.
Since then, the collaboration between the LET and Chinese women’s golf has deepened, with the scale of events continuously expanding. In 2015, a record high of four LET co-sanctioned tournaments were held in China, making it one of the countries with the densest LET overseas event footprint.
In 2017, the Sanya Ladies Open celebrated its eighth consecutive year, with a total prize purse reaching €300,000, solidifying its status as one of the LET’s iconic events in China.
In 2023, the LET first landed in Hong Kong; in 2024, the tour returned to Mission Hills Shenzhen.
Today, the LET’s event map extends further to Mauritius on the shores of the Indian Ocean, strengthening the connection between Chinese women’s golf and the world’s top-tier tournaments.
