Golf Business News – Rose Ladies Open departs Brocket Hall with improved prize purse

Prize money for the Rose Ladies Open, which starts at Brocket Hall today [September 6] is €85,000, an increase of €15,000 on the previous year.

This year the champion will take home €13,600, the highest amount in the history of the LET Access Series.

Kate & Justin Rose, main sponsors of the event, said: “The important point is that this is the top fund of the LETAS program. It’s always been important to Kate and me to promote women’s golf and grow the narrative of what’s happening in the women’s game. We are very grateful to our partners for helping us make this happen.

“To see the growth of the competition on stage and in the situation is amazing. It is important to us that LETAS players get the experience they deserve and enjoy being treated the way they should be treated.

“We wish luck to all the women playing in this event and we look forward to watching all the players on the course later this week.”

Ana Larraneta, LETAS Tourism Director, said: “With the great support we received from the Roses and their sponsors we were able to achieve change and take this event to the next level.

“The increased prize fund and improvements to the stadium and spectator experience this year demonstrate our commitment to helping grow the women’s game.”
