The Ladies European Tour has announced a new partnership with La Manga Club in Spain, which will host Qualifying School for the next three years, as the next generation of champions begin their journey into professional golf. La Manga Club has played host to five previous editions of the LET’s Qualifying School, the most recent in January 2020 which was won by Wales’ Amy Boulden. For the 2021 edition, the North and South Courses will host both the four-round Pre-Qualifying Stage on December 9-12 and the five-round Final Stage on December 16-20. Running side by side and sharing a clubhouse, they promise to provide an electric atmosphere for those battling it out for a place on the 2022 Ladies European Tour.
Commenting on the announcement Alexandra Armas, LET chief executive officer, said: “We are delighted to be returning for another three years to La Manga Club, which is a wonderful venue and has hosted Ladies European Tour events and Qualifying Schools successfully in the past. We are so grateful that La Manga Club has provided the opportunity for the next generation of talented international players to compete to become part of the LET, with the platform to achieve their dreams in golf.”
Carlos Erburu, managing director at La Manga Club, said: “It has been an absolute pleasure to welcome back the Ladies European Tour’s Qualifying School and for their renewed confidence in holding such a key event in the golfing calendar for a further three years at La Manga Club on our renowned North and South golf courses. Whilst several big names from previous ladies Q schools at La Manga Club continue to compete and win on the circuit, we look forward to welcoming a new group of lucky qualifiers this coming December who will also look back one day at the Q School as a springboard to future success in the international golfing arena.”
