A new tour was introduced with the goal of giving professional female golfers in the UK more opportunity to play this week.
Sarah and Adam Walker, founders of the Ladies Pro Series, said: “Women’s sport is rightly growing across the board. Golf is no different and we want to give ladies the chance to compete year-round with comparable prize funds to the men. The standard of women’s golf in the UK is exemplary and we want to showcase this and help them develop their game, so they are ready to compete at the highest level. Having two young daughters ourselves and having a sporting background we want them to grow up in a world where sport is fair and accessible for all, and we are excited to be a part of the journey.”
The Ladies Pro Series has been created to complement the current Ladies European Tour Access Series. It will feature six events in a season with more to be added, starting in April and ending in August. Applications for membership in the Ladies Pro Series are being accepted starting today for its 2024 tournament schedule.
