Ladies European Tour (LET) Season Review

Ahead of next week's Ladies European Tour finale at Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf for Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de Espana I thought I would do a recap of what's been an interesting season on LET in 2025.

We have reached the 27th and final event on the LET schedule which has spanned the whole globe. From a cancelled event due to a Cyclone in Queensland to extreme waterfall levels of rain in Taiwan which caused it to become a 36-hole tournament to Aramco Series events in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, England, USA and China. It's been a long season for the players but also for some, a really rewarding one with a three-time winner Mimi Rhodes on rookie year and four two-time winners on the roll of honour this year in Sara Kouskova going back to back at Jabra and Tenerife, Lottie Woad in Ireland and Scotland (first as an amateur,) Shannon Tan in Germany and India and Anna Huang in La Sella and Deauville.

This season has seen nine first-time winners including a remarkable two amateurs being Woad in Ireland and Meja Örtengren in Sweden. Also, the brilliant back-to-back wins for 16-year-old superstar Anna Huang. Darcey Harry would win in her rookie season in Belgium while Cara Gainer, Cas Alexander and Ruixin Liu would win for the first time in Morocco, Czechia and China respectively. This year would also see five-time major champion and former World number one, Yani Tseng, back in the winners enclosure for the first time in over a decade after a horrendous time with the yips.

Although most players will be teeing it up at Real Guadalhorce next week, there are a few notable absentees with No. 3 Casandra Alexander, No. 4 Chiara Tamburlini and No. 19 Emma Spitz all taking the time to prepare for final stage of LPGA Tour Q School. No. 12 Amelia Garvey is taking some much needed time back home in Christchurch while season winners No. 21 Lottie Woad and No. 27 Manon De Roey won't be there after a hectic end to the LPGA season. The two most recent winners on tour, former World number one player Tseng and home course winner in Shenzhen on the last event, Liu, won't be in Malaga either.

There is currently a 219.26 point gap between the top two players, Shannon Tan and Rhodes. It's all to play for ahead of the finale. Reminder that the top-ten players on LET Order of Merit standings will be eligible for Final Stage LPGA Tour Q School in a couple of week's time.

Here is a run down of all of the winners for 2025 LET season below.

Top 5 players that have impressed me the most this year on LET

1) Sara Kouskova - Kouskova has always been consistent at this level on LET but this year has seen a massive breakthrough for the extremely friendly Karlovy Vary player. Two wins this year coming back-to-back in the summer at Jabra Ladies Open and Tenerife Womens Open. Also had chances earlier on in the season in Austrlaia while making her major debut this year, too. It's been a brilliant season for both Sara and her coach, caddy and partner Jakub Mejzlik.

2) Kajsa Arwefjäll - I'm not being biased here because she was kind enough to come on the podcast earlier this year but this year's LET rookie from Tranås has exceeded expectations in my view. She's been terrific this season with five top-tens and 12 top 25's, which include a career best second at VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open. She has shown the massive potential the three-time LET Access Series title winner from last year has in store.

3) Nastasia Nadaud - The most consistent performer on tour this year in terms of results has been the talented French woman currently ranked ninth in the standings. If she can stay there, will get her shot at Final Stage LPGA Q School. A superb run of form this season that has consisted of six top-tens and 14 Top 25's. More than anyone this year. Only a matter of time before the 20-year-old Chambéry star wins at this level.

4) Leonie Harm - 2025 has been a remarkable comeback trail for the Stuttgart player after completely losing her confidence over the past couple of years. this year has seen three top-tens and six top-25's since starting her season in early May at Dutch Ladies Open. To have half of her events this year finish inside the top 25 is absolutely superb. It's great to see the German star fighting her way back to her best days.

5) Kelsey Bennett - In her first full season on LET as a tour card holder, I've been very impressed by Kelsey this year. Currently ranked 25th in the rankings which has amassed five top-tens and ninte top-25's. She has shown the consistency the New South Wales star has in the locker and could be a major threat in 2026.

Thanks for reading. I cannot wait to travel to Malaga next week for media duties at Real Guadalhorce. Another incredible experience awaits!
