The Ladies European Tour (LET) is the professional circuit for female golfers (proettes) created in 1979, based in England.
Most of the golfers who participate are European but it is possible to see golfers of non-European nationality, the largest contingent of which is Australian. It is the equivalent of the LPGA for the European continent. Its mission is to organize and set up the various tournaments of the year, these can be organized outside Europe and/or be registered with another circuit (such as the Evian Masters which is also registered on the LPGA Tour).
Each year is rewarded with several trophies. The European Order of Merit is a ranking established on the victories obtained during the season. In the past, this ranking has sometimes used a points system. The Player of the Year, best player of the year, is a trophy whose winner is determined by a vote of the members of the circuit. This vote should reward the most brilliant player of the season.
