The LET Access Series (LETAS) is a professional golf tour for women and the official development tour to the Ladies European Tour.
Launched in 2010, the LET Access Series provides players with an opportunity to compete and progress on to the LET. Eligible for membership are all female professional golfers and amateurs over 18 with a handicap of 2 or better.[1]
As one of the eight major women's tours (along with LPGA, JLPGA, KLPGA, LET, ALPG, Symetra Tour and China LPGA Tour) performances on LETAS carry Women's World Golf Rankings points.
By 2014 over 250 professionals and 200 amateurs competed. The season consisted of 16 tournaments in 12 countries with prize funds of €30,000 – €50,000, and saw 11 winners from 8 countries. In 2020, a number of tournaments were postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
