The Women's English Open is a women's professional national open golf championship held in England. It was an event on the on the Ladies European Tour between 1991 and 2008, before returning as an LET Access Series event in 2026.
History
[edit]The tournament was first held as the Ladies English Open between 1991 and 1996, when it was dominated by Laura Davies who won four of the six tournaments played. It was re-established in 2004 and held annually until 2008, during which time it was contested over three rounds, as opposed to four, and as such had one of the lowest prize funds on the tour.[1]
In 2026, England Golf announced the tournament's return as a Ladies European Tour Access Series (LETAS) event, with the long-term ambition to re-establish the event on the Ladies European Tour (LET).[2][3]
