LETAS returns to France for the sixth edition of the Montauban Ladies Open.
Always a favourite on the calendar, this year’s tournament promises to excite with a strong field.
Before the tournament gets underway on Friday, here is everything you need to know ahead of this week…
A field of 108 players, including 25 invites, will be teeing it up in the 54-hole stroke play competition between 6-8 June, and there will be a cut to the top 45 professionals and ties at the 36-hole mark.
It’s a diverse field this week with 31 nationalities represented. The field also includes 20 French players vying for the win on home turf.
A total of 13 Tour winners are competing this week for the €45,000 prize fund with 17 rookies teeing it up at Golf de Montauban.
Included in the field is one previous champion, France’s Marine Griffaut who won the 2021 edition of the event as an amateur.
Griffaut has never finished outside the top 10 at Montauban and she is hoping this will be the year she can get her hands on the trophy again.
Order of Merit Leader, Denmark’s Amalie Leth-Nissen is also in the field and is hoping to stay in pole position in the rankings.
THE STORY BEHIND THE MONTAUBAN LADIES OPEN TROPHY
Whilst all players are focussed on lifting the trophy, the trophy itself has an interesting story.
The trophy is a bust of Olympe de Gouges, famous for writing the Declaration of the Rights of Woman, this prominent figure was born in Montauban.
It is fitting that the future icons of the women’s game lift another female icon.
