- Seven players have earnt their 2024 LET cards through the LET Access Series
The LET Access Series (LETAS) annually awards LET Tour membership to the top seven players on the LETAS Order of Merit and the conclusion of the final event ushers in the 2024 graduating class.
It’s been a history making season with Germany’s Helen Briem breaking many long-standing records and we saw the highest prize fund ever recorded at the Rose Ladies Open.
Without futher ado, meet your 2024 LET Access Series Graduates…
- Kajsa Arwefjall
Arwefjall has had a fantastic year on LETAS. Since the Swedish stretch of events, Arwefjall has dominated the LETAS Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year lists. With a red-hot putter and great striking skills, Arwefjall has finished in the top five a staggering amount and never missed a cut.
Arwefjall made a name for herself on LETAS long before this season started after she won the 2021 GolfUppsala Open as an amateur in a play-off victory against compatriot Sofie Bringner.
The 2023 Rookie of the Year and Order of Merit winner was able to clinch her card after her second victory and is excited to be a member of the LET in 2024.
- LET Access Series wins: 2021 GolfUppsala Open, 2024 MoreGolf Mastercard Open and the 2024 Destination Gotland Ladies Open.
- Seven top five finishes and one top 10 finish.
- Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year award winner.
“I’m super excited. This was the goal coming into this year, but I feel like it’s such a bonus to come out on top.
“Next year is going to be so exciting on the LET, I’m so excited to travel futher and meet more new people. It will be fun.”
- Billie-Jo Smith
2024 was Billie-Jo Smith’s comeback year and she completed it successfully. Starting the season off strong, Smith posted five consecutive top 10 finishes and won a Rose Ladies series event at Formby Golf Club.
At the start of 2023, Smith elected to have a minor operation to reduce a malformation in her calf muscle.
The surgery would mean a later start to the season but would hopefully guarantee pain-free golf.
Yet disaster struck when another injury later in the season de-railed her chance to compete on tour.
Heartbreakingly the Englishwoman lost three back-to-back playoffs to finish the season but knew it was part of the longer game. Those fantastic results meant Smith had secured her LET card at the Lavaux Ladies Open and could go into the final event with some breathing room.
- Three consecutive runner up finishes to end the season.
- Nine top 10 finishes, the most this season.
- Voted player’s player of the year by fellow LETAS players.
“This just mean everything. I don’t really have any other words than that.
“I wasn’t expecting the players player of the year award. A couple of people said they voted for me but it’s special to have their support even when I’ve not quite got it over the line this year.
“It’s unbelievable given last season I was injured. To go from injured to this is just amazing and hopefully the success can continue.”
- Tina Mazarino
Norway’s Tina Mazarino has excelled this season. It’s been a longer journey to earn her LET card for the Norwegian who has played on LETAS since 2019.
From only making half the cuts last season to making six top 10 finishes this year, Mazarino has had a dream season, testament to her and her team’s hard work.
Mazarino’s stunning three shot debut victory in Slovakia was the big break she needed, and we are so excited to see the Norwegian tee it up on the big stage next season.
- LET Access Series wins: 2024 Ladies Slovak Golf Open
- Eight top 10 finishes.
- Made the most birdies this season, 147.
“I’ve been working for this for at least three years now so I’m just super super happy. This means so much.
“Robyn, my caddie and boyfriend has been amazing, it’s been tough for him as well, we’ve had a lot of ups and downs, but we got through it together.”
- Megan Dennis
England’s Megan Dennis had a super rookie season on LETAS to secure her card.
Highlights for the Woburn player included a memorable win at the inaugural Get Golfing Women’s Golf Championship, where she clinched a two-shot victory in front of a home crowd, friends and family.
From nearly quitting the sport two years ago to securing her card, Saturday was a dream come true for Dennis.
- LET Access Series wins: 2024 Get Golfing Women’s Golf Championship.
- Five top 10 finishes.
“It’ such a relief to be standing with the card. I was stressed coming into this week so it’s good to finally get to this point.
“Almost two years ago I almost gave up golf and was going through such a rough patch with it mentally. I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
“I met a few people in my life and changed coaches and it was the best thing I ever did. I’ve never looked back, so a big thank you to my team.”
- Anna Magnusson
Sweden’s Anna Magnusson becomes the first player in LETAS history to earn her LET card for the second time.
After graduating from the tour in 2022, Magnusson struggled in her 2023 LET season and came back to LETAS with one goal, to earn back her full status.
In 2022, the Swede evaded a win but one came early for Magnusson who became the first winner of the LETAS season at the Terre Blanche Ladies Open.
- LET Access Series wins: 2024 Terre Blanche Ladies Open.
- Second on the all-time most consecutive cuts made list- 27
“This is amazing, it’s been a hustle the last few weeks and I’m just feeling grateful to be here today.
“I want to thank everyone around me, the girls on tour have been so supportive and my family at home.
“I’m super thankful for everyone in my corner, my coach has been incredible this year, supporting me every week and every hour of the day.
“This time around getting my card feels even more amazing.”
- Natacha Host Husted
Following in Chiara Tamburlini’s footsteps, the Ole Miss graduate had a great rookie season on tour to secure an LET card.
Host Husted started to be noticed when she secured her debut win at the PGA Championship Gothenburg after being the only player to shoot under par.
Five top 10 finishes came in the middle of the season to secure her card.
- LET Access Series wins: 2024 PGA Championship Gothenburg.
- Five consecutive top 10 finishes.
“This means everything. I never really expected it when I started the season, so I’m thrilled.
“The finish to the season has been a little weird, I’ve had my doubts going into these last few events so I’m just super happy to be here right now.
“A big thank you to my friends, boyfriend and family supporting me, they’ve been there every step of the way and of course to my coach Nicki Hansen who has been such a great influence for me.”
- Ariane Klotz
France’s Ariane Klotz secures her LET card after Helen Briem’s win in La Sella guaranteed the eighth spot person an LET card.
Yet the Frenchwoman is so deserving of one after seven top 10 finishes including three top fives.
The 26-year-old from New Caledonia turned professional in January, later than most to prioritise her education and after earning her LETAS card at Q School has not looked back since.
- Seven top 10 finishes, highest being two third place positions at the PGA Championship Gothenburg and the Destination Gotland Ladies Open.
- Leads the total driving strokes gained, +42.72 and most eagles this season, eight.
“I’m so excited and very grateful to Helen. I’m so proud of myself and very excited for the future.
“This was my goal this year and to achieve it is so rewarding. I just can’t wait to tee it up next year.”
