German women’s golf
German women’s golf is as deep as it has been in a long time: 14 German women golfers currently stand in the season ranking of the Ladies European Tour and 8 German players hold an LPGA Tour ranking in the USA. This page collects both worlds in one overview.
I am one of them. That is why you find the complete overview here first hand, with the current rankings of all players, from the Order of Merit to the world ranking.

The Order of Merit is the season ranking of the Ladies European Tour. Players collect points at every event, and the standings decide among other things playing rights and the tour card of the following season.
The Ladies European Tour (LET) is the leading professional tour in Europe, the LPGA Tour is its counterpart in the USA and the highest-rated tour in the world. Several German players compete on both.
The typical road leads from club and national squads through amateur rankings or US college golf to the qualifying school of a professional tour. I explain the whole road in my guide "How to turn pro".
