About LET Access
The LET Access Series (LETAS) is the official development tour to the Ladies European Tour and the competitive international circuit is a key part of the organization’s development pathway. Launched in 2010, the vision of the LET Access Series is to provide greater competitive opportunities for women golf professionals who are unable to participate in regular LET events. LETAS will additionally help to raise awareness of women’s professional golf generally and bring additional opportunities to countries developing their women’s golf programmes. The top seven players on the 2024 LETAS Order of Merit earn membership of the Ladies European Tour for the 2025 season, while players in eighth to 32nd position, not otherwise exempt, progress to the final stage of LET Qualifying School, thereby skipping the first qualifying event. All female professional golfers and amateurs aged 18 years of age with a handicap of 2 or better are eligible for membership of LETAS, therefore giving elite amateurs the opportunity to play at the top level against professionals on a week-by-week basis.
