After a cyclone-induced delay, the Australian swing of the Ladies European Tour will finally get underway with the Australian Women’s Classic at Coffs Harbour Golf Club.

A week after the cancellation of the Australian WPGA Championship due to Cyclone Alfred, the Australian Women’s Classic tagged by Golf NSW has been reduced to 54 holes but will tee off on Friday morning with a field of 132.

Headlined by Aussie stars Grace Kim, Sarah Kemp, Kirsten Rudgeley and Kelsey Bennett and LET winners Cara Gainer, Manon De Roey and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, the Australian Women’s Classic is the fourth event on the 2025 LET schedule.

For Aussie rookies such as Abbie Teasdale, Belinda Ji and Maddison Hinson-Tolchard, it represents an opportunity to play their way onto a world tour and kick-start their careers.

It is not the first time that the LET has visited Coffs Harbou Golf Club, England’s Meghan MacLaren victorious back in 2018.

Round 1 begins at 7:30am AEDT on Friday morning with the final two rounds to be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo from 11am Saturday and Sunday.
