NOBUHLE IN E436M RECORD BREAKING LET

MBABANE – It’s going to be a big year for professional golfer Nobuhle Dlamini under the Ladies European Tour (LET).

This comes after the LET announced the 2022 season programme set to present the greatest number of tournaments and prize money in the organisation’s 44-year history. The LET members, including the Lobamba-born player, will compete for a minimum of €24.5 million (about E436 602 428 million) across 31 events in the coming year. The total annual purse is up €4.5 million on 2021 and offers €13 million more than in 2019. There were 23 events in the current year 2021 and 31 will be played next year.

According to the ladiesueropeantour.com, LET CEO Alexandra Armas said they would be launching new events in Asia and South Africa and returning to various territories across Europe and further afield. LET has a diverse and multicultural membership of 316 professional golfers representing 36 countries. The 2022 season will open with the return of the Magical Kenya Ladies Open in February, followed by the Aramco Team Series – Asia. The Joburg Ladies Open will debut in Spring, joining the Investec South Africa Women’s Open, which will move to Steenberg Golf Club in Cape Town, as part of a fortnight in South Africa. The LET will then return to Australia for a two-week swing with the Australian Ladies Classic Bonville and the Women’s New South Wales Open at Coolangatta and Tweed Heads Golf Club.

Europe will play host to 19 tournaments from May to September, with the return of the Madrid Ladies Open, The Mithra Belgian Open and the Women’s Irish Open. The mid-summer European swing will feature two major championships, starting with the Amundi Evian Championship in France in July. The first week in August, a fortnight later, will bring the much-awaited AIG Women’s Open, which will be played at Muirfield in Scotland for the first time, with an elevated purse of US$6.8 million.
