# Carlsberg European Ladies' Championship

The Carlsberg European Ladies' Championship was a series of women's professional golf tournaments on the Ladies European Tour (LET) held throughout England, Scotland and Wales between 1979 and 1981.
In 1978 Carlsberg became the main sponsor of the newly formed Women's Professional Golfers' Association (WPGA), supporting 12 tournaments in 1979, 10 in 1980 and 4 in 1981. The winner's share per tournament was £200, £250 and £1,500 respectively for the three seasons. Initially a 36-hole stroke play event, it was extended to 54-hole stroke play in 1981.
Carlsberg ended their sponsorship after the 1981 season.
