Chloe Leurquin is currently the player with best Exemption status from the total of four LET members of Belgium. She started to play golf aged 12 near Brussels. Her father plays golf and one summer he took her to the golf course, to try it out! In December 2013, she earned category 7 membership and her full LET card thanks to her performance on the Access Series, the feeder tour to the LET, where she ended the season ranked 4th on its Order of Merit. She already has one win as professional golfer at the The Mineks Ladies Classic last year.
