The Open de España femenino will no longer be the last tournament of the Ladies European Tour calendar in 2025, as it has been uninterruptedly for the past five years. Additionally, for the first time since 2017, it will not be held in one of the last two months of the year. In some way, we could say that the Open de España ceases to be the grand finale of the tour, although you know it was something sui generis, with the presence of several invited golfers.
This is, therefore, a very significant change that has been revealed following the publication of the Ladies European Tour calendar for the year that has just begun. There is still no assigned date for the Open de España, but everything points to it being held in October, as it is currently positioned in that month. It would return, therefore, to a similar time as it had, for example, in the years 2016 and 2017, which concluded with a victory for Azahara Muñoz. In those years, the tournament took place in the last week of September.
In October, there are currently three tournaments on the LET calendar: the Open de España, the Hero Indian Open, and the Wistron Ladies Open in Chinese Taipei. All three are scheduled for October, although the exact week has not been assigned. It should be noted that in October, a tournament in India for the DP World Tour is also planned, although not officially announced. It is not out of the question that they will try to coincide the men’s and women’s tournaments, as long as it is feasible from a logistical standpoint. Also in October, from the 9th to the 12th, the men’s Open de España is scheduled to be held at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. Logically, this week should be removed from the equation, although it is not out of the question that it could be just the week before or after.
What is quite advanced, although not confirmed at the moment, is the course that will host the tournament. According to comments made at the last edition in Guadalhorce, discussions are quite advanced for it to be held at Mijas Golf, specifically on the Los Lagos course.
In any case, the LET calendar confirms three tournaments in Spain, which is excellent news: the one we are discussing in October, La Sella Open in September, which will celebrate its third edition, and the Tenerife Women’s Open in June.
As it stands, the final of the Ladies European Tour is yet to be determined. The last confirmed tournament is the Aramco Series de China, at the beginning of November, but there is a gap in the calendar with a tournament pending confirmation after that one in China. It would make sense for it to be played on the course, or at least in the country, where the next Solheim Cup in Europe will be held, as happened with Andalucía in recent years under the auspices of the event at Finca Cortesín.
