Ladies golf is thriving, the sport is well organised, heavily sponsored and receives hours of television coverage. This year the Tenerife Ladies Open returns to Golf Costa Adeje from June 19 to 22 and it promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The Canary Islands has produced several top professional players and they will be joined from countries around the world as 120 of the best ladies compete for 40,000 euros of prize money. Last years champion Australian Nikki Barrett (left) will return to defend her crown but it will be a tough contest. The action starts on June 17 with a training day, followed on the Wednesday 18 with a Pro Am tournament. The competitive action starts on June 19 with the first round, half of the players will be eliminated at this stage with the remaining 60 battling on during the next 3 days to decide the winner on Sunday June 22.

Once again the Golf Costa Adeje course will impress an international field, with it’s ravines, stone walls and natural features as it slopes down towards the Atlantic and those stunning views out to the island of La Gomera. Good luck ladies, and enjoy your visit to this very special part of Tenerife.
