# Ladies Asian Golf Tour

The Ladies Asian Tour is a women's professional golf tour established in 2022 and successor to the Ladies Asia Golf Circuit which ran 1983–2004 and the Ladies Asian Golf Tour which ran 2005–2021. The successive tours have been sanctioned by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation since its inception as an official Asian ladies' tour.

## Background

By 2005 there were five established women's professional tours in the world, of which two were in Asia, namely the LPGA of Japan Tour and the LPGA of Korea Tour. Japan and South Korea are two of the top three powers in women's professional golf, alongside the United States. The Ladies Asian Tour (LAT) is effectively a tour for the rest of Asia. This is comparable to the position in men's golf, where Japan has its own Japan Golf Tour and the rest of Asia has the Asian Tour. Most of the players on the tour come from Asia, but there are also representatives of various other parts of the world. Like the other major golf tours, LAGT has been a professional member of the International Golf Federation.

## History
### Ladies Asia Golf Circuit

Between 1987–2003 the tour was known as the Kosaido Ladies Asia Golf Circuit as the main sponsor was the Kosaido Company of Japan, and prize money was in the range of $50,000–70,000. The company terminated its sponsorship due to the passing of its Chairman, Mr. Yoshiaki Sakurai in 2003.

### Ladies Asian Golf Tour

In 2005 the tour was reorganized as the Ladies Asian Golf Tour by Koichi Kato, and the first event after the restart was the Phuket Thailand Ladies Masters, which was played on 15-17 December 2005 with a $100,000 purse. In 2006 there were five tournaments with combined prize money of US$410,000, and five again in 2007, with total prize money of US$590,000. Between 2011 and 2014 most of the touräs events were co-sanctioned tournaments organized by the Taiwan LPGA Tour. With the only remaining tournaments of the tour, the Hong Kong Ladies Open and Hero Women's Indian Open, cancelled for several seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour's activity came to a halt.

### Ladies Asian Tour

In 2022, the Asian Golf Leaders Forum (AGLF) established a new Ladies Asian Tour (LAT) Series, which kicked off in June with the 36th Korea Women's Open. The LAT Series, through the Asia Pacific Golf Platform (APGP), organized seven tournaments across the Asia Pacific region in 2023, with plans to expand to 10 events in 2024.
