The 2024 Ladies European Tour (LET) season wrapped up at the start of December having completed 28 official tournaments across five continents.
With the season finished, let’s take a look at some of the enhanced data insights garnered through the Upgame app.
Since the end of 2023, the LET has been using Upgame with players recording and analysing their data after they have completed a competition round.
Based on the stats for the whole of the 2024 season, it is possible to see who gained the most strokes over the rest of the field and in which part of their game they gained the most strokes.
Below are the leaders in the Total Strokes Gained categories at the end of the 2024 season:
