The Ladies European Tour (LET) announced the dates for the 2022 LET and LETAS Qualifying School which will take place in December and includes a Pre-Qualifier in Asia in October.

With the return of the LET’s Qualifying School in December 2021, the next generation of champions were able to begin their journey into professional golf and the tournament continues to provide a pathway this year for players to secure playing rights for the 2023 season.

This year will see Classic Golf and Country Club in New Delhi, India host the Pre-Qualifier – Asia from 11-14 October with the support of the Women’s Golf Association of India, and the top players will advance to the Final Qualifier later in the year.

Those hoping to qualify will tee it up on the Ridge and Valley course, which was designed by Jack Nicklaus, and sits at the foothills of the picturesque Aravallis in the National Capital Region.

La Manga Club will once again host the LET’s Qualifying School in December with the North and South Courses being used for the four-round Pre-Qualifier – Europe from 10-13 December and the five-round Final Qualifier on 17-21 December 2022 with the top 20 players and ties eligible for LET Membership in Category 11 for the 2023 season.

Last year, American Gabriella Then claimed top spot after a blistering final round of 67 (-6) to win by four shots with Wales’ Amy Boulden winning in January 2020 and ended up clinching her maiden LET victory at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open later that year.

Anna Nordqvist, Caroline Masson, Caroline Hedwall and Jodi Ewart Shadoff took the honours in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively, before going on to represent Europe multiple times in the Solheim Cup, demonstrating the fairness of the testing golf courses.
