The LET Access Series (LETAS) is a professional golf tour for women and the official development tour to the Ladies European Tour.

Launched in 2010, the LET Access Series provides players with an opportunity to compete and progress on to the LET. Eligible for membership are all female professional golfers and amateurs over 18 with a handicap of 2 or better.[1]

Women's World Golf Rankings

As one of the eight major women's tours (along with LPGA, JLPGA, KLPGA, LET, WPGA, Epson Tour and China LPGA Tour) performances on LETAS carry Women's World Golf Rankings points.
