The 2023 Ladies European Tour (LET) season resumes this week as we head to France for the Jabra Ladies Open.
The beautiful Evian Resort Golf Club in Évian-les-Bains will be hosting the event for a fifth time on the LET with 132 players from 31 nations vying for the trophy.
Before the tournament gets underway, here are few talking points to look out for…
Koivisto defending her title
It was a dream week for Tiia Koivisto in 2022 as the Finnish star won her maiden LET title at the world-famous Evian Resort Golf Club.
After graduating from the LET Access Series, Koivisto defeated Australia’s Whitney Hillier in a dramatic playoff to lift the trophy and become the latest member of the LET winners’ circle.
As she defends her title this week, Koivisto will hoping for a nostalgic return to form alongside other former winners Annabel Dimmock and Pia Babnik.

Peláez on the charge
Talking of form, few players arrive in France as confident as Spain’s Ana Peláez Trivino. With two runner-up finishes to her name already in 2023, the 25-year-old will be looking to close the gap once again on India’s Aditi Ashok in the Race to Costa del Sol standings.
On top of that, Peláez will be eager to pull closer to Sweden’s Maja Stark in the LET Solheim Cup Points List as she eyes a dream space in the European squad in her hometown.
