The New Year is in full swing and for many of us that signals an opportunity to set golfing goals and make changes to our game to achieve them. At the very least, it’s always nice to have ambitions, to aspire to be a better player and win competitions. At Golf Monthly HQ, we were discussing the changes that we would like to see happen in the women’s game this year. From co-sanctioned tournaments to gender-less competitions and greater coverage for the sport – our ambitions are lofty, but why not aim high! Here are our top seven picks…
Co-Sanctioned Tournament(s)
The Scandinavian Mixed was a trailblazing DP World Tour and LET co-sanctioned event that was inaugurated in 2021, yet it has sadly disappeared from the 2025 schedule. It’s a real shame as it offered a genuine opportunity for Europe’s top women to compete on a level playing field with their male counterparts.
Sweden’s Linn Grant broke tournament records when she blazed to victory in 2022, becoming the first woman to win a DP World Tour event. It was exactly the sort of positive story the women’s game needs. Rather than remove the co-sanctioned format, 2025 should be an opportunity to replace it with something bigger and better. How about including LPGA Tour or LET players in the next season of TGL, because the women would be just as entertaining? Or how about a primetime reality show like the Big Break to recruit a new female golfing superstar?

LIV Golf Invitations
The controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour has done just about everything to make headlines in world golf…except invite a woman to join the tour. We don’t want the LPGA or LET to be pulled apart, but if there is a way of working together, wouldn’t it be exciting to see one or two high profile female players get that golden payday opportunity?
Surely out of all the world’s tours LIV is trying to be the most forward-thinking, innovative and inclusive. Maybe LIV could start with just one big name addition as a publicity stunt and eventually work towards a handful of invites. It would make fantastic viewing to watch World No.1 Nelly Korda or outspoken Englishwoman Charley Hull teeing up on this controversial high money stakes tour alongside the men.

It’s that catch-22 situation. The women’s game lacks sponsorship because it doesn’t have the viewer figures, yet it can’t…
