A new £260,000 tournament has been added to the Ladies European Tour for next season.

Golf du Kemperhof near Strasbourg will play host to the Ladies European Open, offering the second-highest purse in French women's golf behind the Evian Championship. The tournament will take place on October 3-6, 2019.

"The Ladies European Tour is delighted to announce the renaissance of the European Ladies Open at the magnificent venue of Kempferhof GC," said LET chief executive Mark Lichtenhein.

"It is difficult to imagine a more fitting location for the return of this tournament. Strasbourg has a more than justifiable claim to be the new home for European ladies' golf."
