The Ladies European Tour (LET) made a triumphant return to South Africa for the 2026 Joburg Ladies Open, marking the tournament's seventh stop on its global schedule. This year’s event, co-sanctioned with the Sunshine Ladies Tour (SLT), took place at Randpark Golf Club, which hosted the tournament for the first time, after four consecutive years at Modderfontein Golf Club.
The Firethorn course, a picturesque par-73 layout lined with trees, served as an apt setting for the tournament, which has a rich history of hosting numerous Joburg Opens on the DP World Tour. The 2026 edition of the Joburg Ladies Open celebrated its 12th iteration and was the fifth time it was included in the LET schedule.
Previous champions of the tournament include notable names like Mimi Rhodes from England, who won in 2025, Switzerland’s Chiara Tamburlini, the victor in 2024, and Sweden’s Linn Grant, who captured the title in 2022. All three players have transitioned to compete on the LPGA and were among those aiming for participation in this year’s Solheim Cup.
The 72-hole tournament began on April 16, concluding with the crowning of the winner on April 19. A total prize purse of €330,000 was on offer, and the exciting competition saw Agathe Laisne inching out a win, following a thrilling five-hole playoff. Laisne's triumph at the Joburg Ladies Open marked her second victory in a mere two months.
