2021 Ladies European Tour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2021 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).

The season was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with many tournaments either being postponed or cancelled. Among the cancellations was the Australian Swing, the tour's season opening.[1]

Schedule[]

The table below shows part of the 2021 schedule. The season features a month-long European Swing of the LPGA Tour, starting with the Evian Championship in late July.[2] It also sees the introduction of the Aramco Team Series, four tournaments carrying a $1 million prize fund each to be held in London, Sotogrande and New York, concluding in Saudi Arabia in November.[3] The numbers in brackets after the winners' names indicate the career wins on the Ladies European Tour, including that event, and is only shown for members of the tour.
