Yorkshire’s Charlotte Heath will compete on the Ladies European Tour in 2026 after securing her card through the LET Access Series order of merit.
Huddersfield-based Charlotte, who won the LETAS Rookie of the Year title for 2025, was among the seven players who earned LET membership through the season-long rankings.
Charlotte was the only rookie to earn her LET card this season and she made an immediate impact at the start of the year – narrowly missing out on victory in a playoff at the Madaef Golfs Ladies Open to fellow Englishwoman Thalia Martin.
Despite being sidelined for much of last season with a back injury, Charlotte bounced back impressively this year with nine more top-10 finishes, including a run of five consecutive top-10s to close out the season.
“It means so much,” said Charlotte after securing her card. “I knew I needed a good week. I didn’t think it would literally come down to the last second, but I’m just very glad I have it now. I have a cross Atlantic flight tomorrow morning, so it’s probably going to be a little celebration tonight. I want to say a big thank you to my team. I don’t necessarily think they get as much credit as they deserve, so I just want to thank them a lot.”
The 2025 graduates also included England’s Gemma Clews – who topped the order of merit – Mexico’s Fernanda Lira, Austria’s Katharina Muehlbauer, Sweden’s Andrea Lignell – who won the season-ending Iberdrola Calatayud Ladies Open, Czech player Patricie Mackova, and Denmark’s Amalie Leth-Nissen.
History was made this season on the LETAS as the tour had its first Icelandic, Japanese, and Mexican winners. LETAS also had its highest prize fund ever at the Islantilla Open, which helped to break the record for the tour’s biggest total prize pot.
