Ladies European Tour calls events a ‘landmark moment’Amnesty urges golfers to show solidarity with jailed activistsAmnesty International has voiced deep concern after the Ladies European Tour announced it will stage two events in
Saudi Arabia in November. The LET insisted that it was a “landmark moment for women’s sport in the kingdom” when confirming the tournaments on Monday.
The Saudi Ladies International and Saudi Ladies Team International will deliver a combined $1.5m in prize money and mark the first professional tournaments for
Women in the country. They are, however, highly controversial given Saudi’s high-profile
Human Rights violations.
