Scottish Ladies Open Tour Explained

The PLGC Scottish Ladies Open Tour (SLOT) (later the Ladies Tartan Tour) was a mini golf tour based in Scotland. It was sponsored by Paul Lawrie and set up by golf journalist Colin Farquharson and PGA Professional Nicola Melville in 2013[1] with the aim of acting as a 'stepping stone' to the main Ladies European Tour.

The Tour was open to all female professional golfers and to single-figure handicap female amateurs.[2]

In 2014, the Tour was fully endorsed by the PGA in Scotland ensuring the tours continued growth and giving WPGA members more playing opportunities.[3]

The Tour was discontinued in 2016 due to a lack of sponsorship and low participation
