LET announces 2024 season schedule

The Ladies European Tour (LET) is set for another historic year in 2024 with 31 events across 20 countries worldwide.

The highlights will include the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the Solheim Cup in Gainesville, Virginia. As well, of course, as the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews, which will be the final qualification event for the European Solheim Cup team.

“The 2024 schedule will give our talented athletes a platform to show their best,” said LET CEO Alexandra Armas. “Our tournaments will showcase star-studded fields and entertainment in 20 different countries and there will be significant global opportunities for our players to transcend a traditional golf audience. It’s an exciting time, with Olympic golf coming to Europe and another thrilling Solheim Cup on the horizon. We look forward to sharing the journey with our fans worldwide.”

Prize money and TV coverage

Next year there will be more than €34 million in total prize money, including a purse of US$5 million at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International Presented by PIF, which will be played at Riyadh Golf Club for the first time.

In total, 25 events will be televised, either via highlights packages or with a full live world feed in 2024.

A global schedule

The season will once again kick off with the Magical Kenya Ladies Open in February, before travelling to Saudi Arabia and then visiting Morocco for the Lalla Meryem Cup.

In March, the LET travels to the United States for the Aramco Team Series Presented by PIF - USA. Later in March, the prestigious Magenta Shores Golf and Country Club will host the New South Wales Open for the first time, followed by the Australian Women’s Classic at Bonville Golf Resort as part of a fortnight down under.

In April, the Tour will travel to South Africa for the Joburg Ladies Open and the Investec South African Women’s Open, which will be played at a new venue, Erinvale Country and Golf Estate, in Cape Town.

In May, the Aramco Team Series Presented by PIF – Seoul, will be played in the Republic of Korea, followed by the Amundi German Masters, the first tournament of the year in Europe.

The Jabra Ladies Open will once again be played at the renowned Evian Resort Golf Club in France.

In June, the LET will enjoy a fortnight in Sweden with the Dormy Open Helsingborg, being played at Allerum Golf Club for the second consecutive year and the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed, which will move to nearby Vasatorps Golf Club.

The LET will then play another soon-to-be announced event in Europe, followed by the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open, the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open and the Aramco Team Series Presented by PIF – London.

The Amundi Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club in France, where countrywoman Céline Boutier raised her first major trophy in 2023, is back in July, followed by the Dutch Ladies Open, powered by Golf.NL.

LET athletes will have the opportunity to compete for their home countries at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games at Le Golf National in August via the Olympic Golf Rankings.

The Tour then continues to Scotland, the home of golf, for the Women’s Scottish Open and the AIG Women’s Open, to be played on the famed Old Course at St Andrews for the third time.

Next up, the O’Meara course at Carton House will be the new setting for the KPMG Women’s Irish Open.

Then, in September, a year on from the dramatic showdown between the United States and Europe in Spain, the Solheim Cup returns to the United States at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va, where Team Europe will attempt to keep the trophy in European hands for the fourth time in a row.

The LET then returns to Golf Barrière Deauville for the Lacoste Ladies Open de France, followed by the Aramco Team Series Presented by PIF – Asia. After that, there is the Hero Women’s Indian Open and the Aramco Team Series Presented by PIF – Riyadh.

The season concludes with a fortnight in Spain, starting at the Mallorca Ladies Golf Open before rounding out the year at the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España for the fifth year in a row.

2024 U.S. Open leaderboard breakdown: Ludvig Åberg continues major breakout standing alone at Pinehurst

Åberg tops a star-studded u.s. open leaderboard seeking achieve something not seen in a century.

The U.S. Open is not supposed to be this easy. No one tell that to Ludvig Åberg. Following a 4-under 66 with a 69 on Friday, the young Swede -- playing the first major-championship season of his career -- will take a one-stroke lead at 5 under into Moving Day. Åberg sits ahead of Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay and Thomas Detry entering the weekend in North Carolina.

Åberg will attempt to become the second debutant to win the U.S. Open, the first since Francis Ouimet, an amateur, did so at The Country Club in 1913. Not only does Åberg's march around Pinehurst mark his first in the U.S. Open, it represents just his third career major appearance, even if it looks closer to his 30th.

"I think, obviously this being my first one, I think a U.S. Open is supposed to be hard," Åberg said. "It's supposed to be tricky, and it's supposed to challenge any aspect of your game. And I feel like it's really doing that. But super fortunate with the way that things have turned out over the last couple days, and hopefully, we'll be able to keep it up."

At the halfway point, the 24-year-old leads the field in both driving accuracy (26 of 28 fairways) and greens in regulation (30 of 36) putting his prodigious ball striking on display for all to see. It took until nearly 4 p.m. ET on Friday (!) for Åberg to miss a fairway in this championship as he connected on his first 20.

Fairways and greens is a healthy diet for any major championship, let alone a U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. Through two rounds, Åberg clearly has had the appetite. While it takes some years and numerous major appearances to figure out what they can pile on their plate, the robotic right hander seems to have consumed the knowledge just 10 rounds into his major career.

He knows what he can chew off and what he cannot stomach. He knows his restrictions (if there are any). And he knows he can digest this weekend thanks to a contention run at the Masters two months ago that resulted in a runner-up finish to Scottie Scheffler.

"I think Augusta [National] proved to me that I was able to be in that position, and it was more of a justification of like, 'Yeah, you can actually be there and contend on a Sunday,'" Åberg said. "Then, obviously, the golf course also played very difficult. It demanded a lot of patience and discipline just like this one does. Yeah, I feel like those experiences that I had back in April, they were great. Hopefully, we'll draw some similarities between those. All we try to do is just hit the shots as good as we can and then see where that ends up."

2024 U.S. Open leaderboard, Round 2

1. Ludvig Åberg (-5): There are too many great things to say about this kid. He pushed the lead out to 6 under a couple times before a late bogey on the 16th gave one back. The most telling part of Åberg's round came on the par-4 4th when he chunked his approach into the green. Instead of looking confused or frustrated, he laughed it off with his caddie, Joe Skovron, pitched his third to 11 feet and then knocked in the par save.  T2. Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Thomas Detry (-4): DeChambeau didn't have the big stick cooperating Friday, but he did well to get around Pinehurst in an under-par fashion regardless. Hitting only seven fairways and 10 greens in regulation, the 2020 champion relied on the occasional tidy approach shot and more than enough putting as he rolled in four putts from outside 15 feet. It totaled up to five birdies, four bogeys, nine pars and another chance at winning his second major.

"Felt like I was actually hitting the driver pretty solid today," DeChambeau said. "Starting lines just weren't exactly where I saw them coming out of the chute, and consequently, ended up in the native area a few too many times, which cost me probably three or four shots. Something I'm looking forward to fixing over the weekend. But all in all, [I] was very happy with how I stayed patient, gave myself good opportunities when they mattered, and I made a lot of clutch putts coming in."

T5. Rory McIlroy, Tony Finau, Matthieu Pavon (-3): It wasn't as sharp as Thursday, but McIlroy's 72 on Friday  was enough to position him nicely heading into the weekend. He continues to drive the ball like a stallion hitting 13 of 14 fairways in Round 2 and missing just four through his first two rounds. His approach play took a bit of a step back compared to Round 1, and his putting numbers weren't great on paper -- although that has something to do with putting his ball off the green on No. 17 (where he saved par).

"Obviously not quite as well as yesterday, but I feel like the golf course plays a little more difficult, even though we were off in the morning," McIlroy said. "Some of the hole locations were definitely a little tougher. Sort of had to have your wits about you. I putted it off one green there on 17. Overall, I felt like I did a pretty good job at keeping some of the mistakes off the scorecard. I wish I had converted a couple more of the chances. Hit the ball pretty well. I think only missed one fairway. So, I had plenty of opportunities. Yeah, wasn't quite as good with the putter today. Still overall in a great position going into the weekend."

8. Hideki Matsuyama (-2): Matsuyama carded the 10th bogey-free round in a U.S. Open at Pinehurst thanks to a sensational short game and some timely approach shots. The man from Japan found himself 1 under through 11 holes despite only hitting four greens in regulation across that span. He discovered his iron play late and rattled off three straight birdies to climb back into this tournament and card the low round of the day with a 66.

T9. Xander Schauffele, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom Kim, Akshay Bhatia, Tim Widing, Corey Conners and Zac Blair (-1): Schauffele's name being in red figures feels like a minor miracle. He was horrible across his first 20 holes, hitting just seven fairways and drifting as high as 2 over for the championship. Only then did he find his form as Schauffele rattled off five birdies across a nine-hole stretch in his second round to get him back into this championship. A double bogey on the par-5 5th put a hamper on an otherwise stellar performance on Friday.

T16. Sam Burns, Billy Horschel, Stephan Jaeger, Sergio Garcia, Russell Henley and Isaiah Salinda (E):  Burns was 5 over through his first six holes of this championship and has clawed his way back admirably to give himself a chance with 36 to play. On Friday, Burns hit 13 of 14 fairways and gained nearly five strokes putting on the field. If he is to continue this march up the leaderboard, he will need the approach play to start cooperating.

T22. Taylor Pendrith, S.H. Kim, Sam Bennett and three others (+1)

T29. Sepp Straka, Brian Harman, Adam Scott, Denny McCarthy and four others (+2)

T37. Jordan Spieth, Cameron Smith and 11 others (+3): Spieth's 71 may have been the highest total he could have carded. Hitting his irons perhaps as well as ever this season, the three-time major champion connected on just three birdies against four bogeys. He ranks inside the top 10 in strokes gained tee to green, strokes gained off the tee and strokes gained approach, but he sits outside the top 150 with the putter in hand.

T51. Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley and three others (+4): Five birdies from the reigning champion were offset by four bogeys and a double. Clark's having a hard time playing from the short grass hitting just 16 fairways across his first two rounds.

T57. Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Tommy Fleetwood, Sahith Theegala and 14 others (+5): The world No. 1 walked off the golf course and thought his week was over. Pinehurst said not so fast as the cutline drifted to 5 over late extending Scheffler's made cut streak -- the last of which came in August 2022. Scheffler is joined by another multiple-time major winner in Koepka who struggled late in his round playing his final eight holes in 5-over fashion.

Molinari to make the cut!

Francesco Molinari makes an ace on the par-3 9th (his final hole of the day) to get to 5 over and inside the projected cutline.

Tiger Woods misses the cut at the 124th U.S. Open

The 15-time major champion will not be around for the weekend. Falling a couple strokes outside the cutline, Tiger Woods was unable to cash in on crucial birdie bids on his second nine at Pinehurst No. 2 to scratch and claw his way onto the tee sheet this weekend. Woods' missed cut represents just the 25th of his career, his 14th in a major and his fifth in the U.S. Open.

Tiger needs to grab one coming in

The cat is 6 over and one outside the cutline with a few holes remaining. He will first need to get up-and-down from just long of the green on No. 16. Then, he will do will to make par on the tough par-3 17th and then he will need to make birdie on the par-4 18th.

Ludvig leads by two

Another birdie from the young Swede has pushed to lead out to two. He stands at 6 under with six holes to play with a number of players a couple behind including his playing mate, Tony Finau, who just made a birdie of his own on the par-4 12th.

Notables near the cutline

Looks like the cutline is going to be +5 meaning Scottie Scheffler will be around for the weekend, but here are some on the golf course near that number fighting for that same right.

• Collin Morikawa (+3)
• Sahith Theegala (+3)
• Cameron Smith (+3)
• Brooks Koepka (+4)
• Matt Fitzpatrick (+4)
• Rickie Fowler (+5)
• Tiger Woods (+6)

Tiger tight roping the cut line

The cat is looking solid, but he has no room for error with 11 holes to play. Tiger stands at 5 over for the championship where the cutline is looking like where it may settle (Data Golf gives it a 70% chance). He's looking fantastic with the putter and will need to be if he is to see the weekend.

Morikawa moving in the wrong direction

I'm pretty surprised about this one. After shooting 70 on Thursday with two doubles, Collin Morikawa has been unable to get anything going. He just did well to save bogey on the par-4 1st (his 10th hole) and drops to 3 over for the round and championship. 

Cantlay drops a pair

Well, the overnight leader played a little ping pong on No. 8 and he actually does well to make 6. Holing a 15 footer for his double, Patrick Cantlay drops to 4 under meaning Ludvig Aberg has a two-stroke lead. Aberg just missed his first fairway of the week. Poor kid.

Lexi Thompson, a 15-time winner on the LPGA Tour, is retiring from full-time golf at 29

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Golf is all Lexi Thompson has ever known, and one of the more popular players on the LPGA Tour decided Tuesday this will be her last year playing a full schedule.

Thompson chose the U.S. Women’s Open — the major she first played when she was 12 — to announce that she will step away at the end of the year. The 29-year-old American became emotional while talking about the amount of work no one sees and the loneliness she has faced.

Thompson said she has contemplated semi-retirement the last few years and cited mental health as one of the factors that contributed to her decision.

“I think we all have our struggles, especially out here,” she said. “Unfortunately in golf you lose more than you win, so it’s an ongoing battle to continue to put yourself out there in front of the cameras and continuing to work hard and maybe not seeing the results you want and getting criticized for it. So it’s hard.

AP AUDIO: Lexi Thompson, a 15-time winner on the LPGA Tour, is retiring from full-time golf at 29

One of the most iconic figures in women’s golf is retiring before her 30th birthday. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh has the story.

“I will stay, yes, I’ve struggled with it — I don’t think there’s somebody out here that hasn’t,” she said. “It’s just a matter of how well you hide it, which is very sad.”

Thompson is playing her 18th U.S. Women’s Open before turning 30. She won the first of her 15 LPGA title at age 16. She is known as much for the majors she lost as the one she captured at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2014 when she was 19.

EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes a discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988. There is also an online chat at 988lifeline.org .

She made a vague reference to Grayson Murray, who spoke openly about alcoholism and his struggles with depression and anxiety from life as a tour professional. Murray, who won the Sony Open in January, died by suicide on Saturday.

“Being out here can be a lot. It can be lonely,” she said as her voice began to crack and she wiped away tears. “I just think — especially with what’s happened in golf, as of recent, too — a lot of people don’t realize a lot of what we go through as a professional athlete.

“We’re doing what we love. We’re trying the best every single day. You know, we’re not perfect. We’re humans. Words hurt. It’s hard to overcome sometimes. ... I might not have a huge friend group, but to have the people that matter the most around me have gotten me through some really hard times.”

Exactly what semi-retirement means is not clear. Thompson, whose last LPGA victory came nearly five years ago, said she would love to be on the Solheim Cup team one last time. She likes fitness and is launching an app. But it was time to find something else.

“I’ve only known golf as my life,” Thompson said. “So it’s nice to branch out and be able to enjoy other things.”

The news surprised LPGA players. The notice was posted, and then deleted, a couple of times on various social media channels. Thompson was on the course when it first went out.

“She really dedicated her time to growing the game,” Nelly Korda said. “It’s sad to see that she’s obviously leaving and not going to be out here with us, but she’s had an amazing career, and I wish her the best in this new chapter of her life.”

Thompson was 12 when she qualified for the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles, at the time the youngest ever to qualify. She also set an LPGA Tour record as the youngest winner when she captured the Navistar LPGA Classic at age 16.

Both records since have been broken.

Thompson was a runner-up four times in the majors. She lost a five-shot lead in the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open at The Olympic Club with a 41 on the back nine. Most famous was the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2017 , and she got emotional talking about that.

She was headed for an easy victory in the final round when the LPGA discovered she improperly marked her golf ball on a green in the third round. She was penalized two shots for the violation and two shots for signing for an incorrect score because of the penalty.

“Is this a joke?” she said when a rules official informed her on the 13th hole of the final round that she had been docked four shots, turning a three-shot lead into a one-shot deficit. She rallied to force a playoff before losing to So Yeon Ryu.

“That was a huge moment in my career — not a great one,” she said. “I look at it as I grew a fan base that I never thought I would have in that moment. It’s an unfortunate circumstance, but to be there and to hear chants of my name on 17 coming down the stretch and just to be able to sign all the autographs and go through that moment ... the hardest moment of my career was like a blessing.

“I gained fans that I never thought I would have.”

Thompson grew up playing with two older brothers, both of whom reached the PGA Tour, and she was renowned for her power. She accepted an exemption to play a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas last year , keeping fans in suspense whether she could make the cut until fading.

Thompson could not say how often she would play, only that she would “take it day by day and see how I feel.”

“But I’m very content with this being my last full-time schedule year,” she said.
