The Ladies European Tour has published its 2026 schedule, with a projected record total prize fund of just over £34 million. The season will include 30 events across 21 countries on five continents, featuring a new tournament in Mauritius and the return of the Women's Australian Open. The campaign opens on February 11 with the PIF Saudi Ladies International in Riyadh.
High-profile highlights: the Aramco Championship in April will be co-sanctioned with the LPGA Tour, and PIF-backed Global Series events will see their prize funds rise to $15 million. Sky Sports has confirmed it will continue to broadcast the Ladies European Tour and the Solheim Cup through at least 2030 under a new five-year deal.
On-course storylines to watch include England's Charley Hull and rising star Mimi Rhodes, who won three times in her rookie season and finished second on the Order of Merit. Major dates include the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes (July 30–August 2) and the Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands (September 11–13).
