History

edit

Finland last hosted a Ladies European Tour event in the Ladies Finnish Masters (2005–2011).

Aura Golf, founded in 1958 and one of the oldest golf courses in Finland, hosted the event 15 times between 1998 and 2021, and was also home to a men's Gant Open on the 2015 Challenge Tour.[1] The 2022 edition was held in Åland in recognition of the centennial of the Åland convention, before moving to the Seaside course at Pickala Golf in 2023.

In 2021, Finland native Matilda Castren claimed her maiden LET title at the event. She needed to secure a victory on the LET to become a member of the tour and be eligible for the 2021 European Solheim Cup Team.[2]
