Ladies european tour q-school grads include gabriela ruffels and a host of talented young players now eligible for the solheim cup, share this article.

Not long after LPGA Q-Series wrapped up in December , another marathon Qualifying School took place in Spain at La Manga Club for the Ladies European Tour. For Australia’s Gabriela Ruffels, it marked a second chance at a tour card after she missed the registration deadline for the final stage of LPGA Q-Series.

Ruffels, the former USC standout and U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, finished eighth at LET Q-School to earn her card for the 2023 season. She’ll also have full status on the Epson Tour.

A pair of Germans topped the board after 90 holes as Polly Mack and Alexandra Försterling finished knotted at 15 under. Mack also tied for 15th at LPGA Q-Series earlier in the month to earn status for 2023.

Another German player, Aline Krauter, tied for 17th to earn LET status after taking a share of third at LPGA Q-Series. Krauter played collegiate golf at Stanford alongside Albane Valenzuela, a Swiss player who now also has status on both the LPGA and LET. Valenzuela finished 68th on the CME points list in 2022 to retain a full LPGA card.

Other notables who earned LET cards include former UCLA standout Emma Spitz (T-6) and Scotland’s Louise Duncan (T-17).

A total of 24 players secured Category 12 membership for 2023 while 28 players clinched Category 16 membership.

This year’s Solheim Cup in Spain requires that European players be members of the LET. In 2021, Matilda Castren memorably had to win on the LET to be eligible for Catriona Matthew’s team. She did so in dramatic fashion on home soil in Finland.

It’s possible that someone from this year’s LET Q-School could play her way onto Team Europe for the first time.

Anna Nordqvist, Caroline Masson, Caroline Hedwall and Jodi Ewart Shadoff all won LET Q-School before representing Europe on multiple occasions in the Solheim Cup.

The top two players from the LET Solheim Cup points ranking will qualify for the team along with the top six players from the Rolex Rankings who are not otherwise qualified. Suzann Pettersen will have four captain’s picks.

Change of location for LET Q-School

LET announced new name, new locations and dates announced for Lalla Aicha Qualifying School

The Ladies European Tour has announced the dates for its Qualifying School, which will be named “Lalla Aicha Qualifying School”.

Thanks to a new agreement between the LET and Marrakech's Golf Association, the Q-School is returning to the Red City, adding to the legacy of seven previous editions of Lalla Aicha Q-School staged from 2012-2018.

Professional and amateur golfers from all over the world will compete through eight rounds for a life-changing place on the LET in 2024.

There will be five venues in the city of Marrakech and one additional pre-qualifying venue in India. 

Three of the five venues in Marrakech – Palm Golf Marrakech Ourika, Palmeraie Rotana and Noria Golf Club, will host Pre-Qualifying over three rounds from December 10-12.

There will also once again be a Pre-Qualifier in Asia at the Ridge and Valley course at Classic Golf and Country Club in India with three rounds taking place on November 8-10. 

Royal Golf Marrakech and Al Maaden Golf Marrakech will then host the Final Qualifier on 16-20 December 2023. 

The field of competitors will be divided into two groups, playing the two courses alternately for the first four days. After a cut, the fifth and final round will be played at Al Maaden Golf Marrakech.

Qualifying School back in Marrakech

LET CEO Alexandra Armas said:

“All six venues on our Lalla Aicha Qualifying School schedule will provide players with a true test of golf and will ensure that those who are successful at the Final Stage will be ready to compete on the LET in 2024.

“It is wonderful to have Classic Golf and Country Club continuing as a venue, to give the opportunity for players in the Asia-Pacific region to pre-qualify closer to home. 

“It is also incredibly exciting to have five different venues in Marrakech, Morocco. We know from previous editions of Q-School that the courses in Marrakech are exceptional and will provide a superb experience for all players.”

Nicolas Barraud, President of the Marrakech Golf Association said:

“The Marrakech Golf Association is delighted to once again host the LET Lalla Aicha Qualifying School in the dynamic city of Marrakech. This year, the event will take place across five stunning venues, showcasing the diversity and excellence of Marrakech's golf courses. With 12 golf courses available, Marrakech has established itself as the golf capital of Morocco, attracting a growing number of golf enthusiasts each year. In addition to world-class golf, visitors can enjoy a wide range of accommodations, rich culture, exquisite gastronomy, and a vibrant nightlife.”

The LET last visited Marrakech for Lalla Aicha Tour School in December 2018, when Bronte Law took the honours before becoming one of the leading players on Europe’s victorious Solheim Cup team. The LET first visited Marrakech for Lalla Aicha Tour School in 2012, when Ariya Jutanugarn won the trophy. She earned her first professional title at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco three months later and then went on to top the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

A full list of Lalla Aicha Qualifying School dates and locations are as follows: 

Pre-Qualifiers

8-10 November 2023 Classic Golf and Country Club, India

10-12 December 2023 PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika, Morocco Palmeraie Rotana, Morocco Noria Golf Club, Morocco

Final Qualifying

16-20 December 2023 Royal Golf Marrakech, Morocco Al Maaden Golf Marrakech, Morocco (the final round will be played on this course).
