The Tenerife Women’s Open returns to the Ladies European Tour (LET) calendar as one of the most exciting events of the 2025 season. From 5 to 8 June, Abama Golf, on the island of Tenerife, will become the stage where the best players on the women’s circuit will display their talent in a spectacular setting. With 500,000 euros in prize money, this tournament not only marks the return of an iconic event, but also underlines Tenerife’s historic connection with elite women’s golf.
Tenerife Tourism is promoting this new edition as part of its commitment to promoting tourism on the island through sport. The Tenerife Women’s Open is a reflection of the island’s commitment to golf tourism, a key sector for diversifying the offer and positioning Tenerife as a benchmark destination on an international level. This tournament is a unique opportunity to demonstrate that excellence as a destination encompasses both leisure and sport.
Alexandra Armas, CEO of the Ladies European Tour, highlighted the importance of the return of the tournament: ‘It is a privilege to return to Tenerife, a place full of history and tradition in women’s golf. The relationship between the island and the LET has been key in promoting the sport and we are delighted that Abama Golf will host a competition that will be highlighted in the calendar of the players.
Tenerife has been an essential enclave for women’s golf for decades, consolidating a close relationship with the Ladies European Tour (LET) that dates back to 2002. Over nine consecutive editions, between 2002 and 2010, the Tenerife Women’s Open (formerly known as the Tenerife Ladies Open) hosted the best players on the circuit, with emblematic venues such as Golf del Sur, Golf Las Américas, Buenavista Golf, Golf Costa Adeje and Abama Golf. This event saw the crowning of figures such as Raquel Carriedo (2002), Elizabeth Esterl (2003) or Diana Luna (2004), who left their mark in a tournament that alternated venues throughout the island. Subsequently, Golf Costa Adeje hosted memorable triumphs such as those of Ludivine Kreutz (2005) and Felicity Johnson (2009). In 2010, the Tenerife Ladies Open closed its stage with the victory of Trish Johnson at Buenavista Golf.
Later, Tenerife continued to be a protagonist with two editions of the Women’s Spanish Open: in 2012, Golf Las Américas was the scene of a thrilling playoff that crowned Australian Stacey Keating, while in 2014, Golf Costa Adeje saw the victory of South African Connie Chen, consolidating the island as a key destination in the international women’s golf scene.
This year, Abama Golf will host a tournament that promises to deliver a spectacle to match its legacy. Designed by Dave Thomas, the course is characterised by its combination of technical and strategic holes, as well as its panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island of La Gomera. Back in 2006, Abama Golf also hosted the Tenerife Ladies Open, consolidating its reputation as a course that tests the skills of the best female players in the world.
The tournament will feature three hours of live TV coverage each day, reaching 87 countries and up to 144 million households worldwide. This level of coverage highlights the international importance of the event and reinforces the media impact of women’s golf.
In addition to its sporting appeal, Tenerife offers a unique experience for visitors. Its privileged climate, with pleasant temperatures all year round, together with its wide range of leisure, gastronomy and culture, make the island an unbeatable destination with a total of nine magnificent golf courses. This edition of the Tenerife Women’s Open reinforces its role as the epicentre of sports tourism and as a benchmark in the promotion of top-level international events.
