After more than a decade of absence, the Ladies European Tour (LET) returns to the island with the Tenerife Women’s Open 2025, one of the great premieres of the international calendar this season. Starting tomorrow, Thursday 5 June at 08:30 h, the Abama Golf course, in the municipality of Guía de Isora, will host the 132 best players on the circuit in a competition that will undoubtedly leave its mark on golf in the Canary Islands.
The tournament – the eleventh edition of this historic event, which has not been held since 2011 – will be attended by players from 35 different countries, in a clear demonstration of the growth and diversity of the circuit. In total, the LET has 416 members from 43 different nationalities this season, with 52 rookies representing 26 countries. In addition, this year 39 million euros in prize money will be distributed throughout its 30 events, which are played in 20 countries and five continents.
On the sporting front, all the spotlights are on England’s Mimi Rhodes, current leader of the 2025 Order of Merit after three victories this season. Rhodes arrives in Tenerife with a clear chance of winning a fourth title and extending her lead over her rivals in the ranking. Among them are the Czech Sara Kouskova, recent winner of the Jabra Ladies Open and third in the ranking, and her compatriot, the number two in the ranking, Cara Gainer, also present this week in Abama.
Another of the big stars of the tournament is the Swiss Chiara Tamburlini, the revelation player of 2024, a year in which she won three individual titles, two team titles and the Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year awards. Tamburlini arrives in Tenerife after achieving her best result in a major, with a T14 at the U.S. Women’s Open, which underlines her excellent form.
Also returning are talented and experienced players such as South Africa’s Casandra Alexander, who returns to competition after overcoming a hamstring injury, and Scotland’s Carly Booth, a three-time winner on the LET, who will be playing her first tournament in three years. In addition, the tournament will feature seven Olympic golfers from the Paris 2024 Games, including Shannon Tan (Singapore), Emma Spitz (Austria), Sara Kouskova (Czech Republic), Alessandra Fanali (Italy), Diksha Dagar (India), Ursula Wikström and Noora Komulainen (Finland).
The Spanish representation will be one of the largest in the tournament, with 17 players in the field. Leading the national team are Marta Martín, winner of the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open in 2024; Ana Peláez, who made her professional debut in Madrid in 2022; Nuria Iturrioz, the most successful of the group with four LET titles; María Hernández, winner of the Ladies Slovak Open in 2010; and Carmen Alonso, champion in 2023 after 19 years on the circuit. Completing the contingent are Marina Escobar, Paz Marfà, Marta Sanz, Natasha Fear, Teresa Toscano, Mireia Prat, Clara Moyano, Blanca Fernández, Harang Lee, Amaia Latorre, María Parra and the local Emma Cabrera Bello, a reference of Canarian golf.
The venue, Abama Golf, offers an unrivalled setting for the competition. Designed by Dave Thomas, the par 72 course stretches over 6,281 yards of undulating terrain, surrounded by palm trees, lakes and views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island of La Gomera. The course, which has already hosted LET and European Tour tournaments in 2005 and 2006, presents optimal conditions this week to host the best on the continent.
Beyond the sporting aspect, the Tenerife Women’s Open 2025 represents a strategic opportunity to project Tenerife as a leading destination in sporting and quality tourism. With nine golf courses and a wide range of hotels, gastronomy and culture, the island is positioned as a benchmark in Europe. Its commitment to sustainability is also key: 97% of the water used on its courses is regenerated or desalinated, making Tenerife an example of efficient resource management.
