TWENTY-EIGHT EVENTS, RECORD
PRIZE MONEY ON 2008 LADIES'
EUROPEAN TOUR

Ladies European Tour's executive director Alexandra Armas (pictured right) has revealed the 2008 LET schedule.
Next year the Tour will feature an unprecedented 28 events. It will also boast total prize money in excess of €12.3 million, which is the highest in the LET's 30-year history.
“The 2007 season has been a huge success with The Solheim Cup in Sweden and new events in Australia, Scotland, Madrid, India and Northern Ireland,” said Armas.
“In 2008 we continue to build our tournament schedule with a further five new events, higher prize money and yet more first rate tournament venues.”
The five new tournaments in 2008 are:
*The European Ladies' Golf Cup.
*The Turkish Ladies' Open.
*The Hypovereinsbank Ladies' German Open presented by Audi.
*The AIB Ladies Irish Open.
*The Göteberg Masters.
The inaugural European Ladies Golf Cup, from April 4-6, at La Sella Golf Resort in Spain, will be a team event featuring prize money of €300,000. The tournament will be organised and promoted by Deporte & Business, who also promote the successful Open de Espana Femenino and will be supported by the Spanish Golf Federation.
It will feature 24 teams of two players from qualifying countries, based on the previous year's New Star Money List and Rolex Women's World Rankings.
The inaugural Turkish Ladies Open, from May 8-11, Hypovereinsbank Ladies' German Open, from May 29-June 1 and Göteberg Masters, from September 18-21, will be full field stroke-play events with prize money of €250,000 each.
In addition, after a four-year absence, the AIB Ladies Irish Open will return to the 2008 schedule and will feature prize money of €450,000.
In 2008, six existing tournaments will change venue.
