Another body blow for the LET
The lucrative Vic Open has turned its back on the Ladies European Tour in favour of striking a deal with the LPGA, writes Keel Timmins
The Ladies European Tour has been dealt yet another crushing blow after it emerged the tour has lost the Vic Open,
one of the largest tournaments on the already limited schedule, to the LPGA Tour.
Prize money appears to have remained the same at $1.5 million for both the men and women’s tournament, but with the LPGA now on board, the majority of the world’s best players will head to Australia in February.
The Vic Open will also tie in nicely with the LPGA Tour’s current Women’s Australian Open, with the two tournaments set to be played over a two week stretch: February 7-10 for the Vic Open, and February 14-17 for the Australian Open.
