A new season is now just around the corner on the Ladies European Tour (LET) with the Lalla Meryem Cup kicking things off in two weeks’ time. With an abundance of young stars looking to make their mark in 2025, here are 10 players aged 22-and-under to watch on the LET this year…
Helen Briem (Germany)
Age: 19
2024 Order of Merit: 27th
Achievements: 1x LET win, 4x LETAS wins, 2023 Girls Amateur Champion, 2x PING Junior Solheim Cup winner, 1x Junior Ryder Cup winner
It was historic year for Helen Briem in 2024 as the world’s best amateur turned pro before becoming a winning machine on the LET Access Series (LETAS). In June, Briem made history winning three times in a row before adding a fourth title at the Rose Ladies Open later on in the year – the most in a single season on the feeder circuit. But the big hitting German wasn’t done there. Having lost in a playoff to Perrine Delacour at the Helsingborg Open she went one better on the LET winning the La Sella Open in September to fast-track her full card.
An early favourite for the 2025 Order of Merit, expect the 19-year-old to continue where she left off last year by adding more titles to her resume.
Shannon Tan (Singapore)
Age: 20
2024 Order of Merit: 6th
Achievements: 1x LET win, 1x Olympian, 1x China LPGA win
From one history-maker to another, Shannon Tan had a 2024 to remember as she won on her pro-LET debut at the Magical Kenya Ladies Open to become Singapore’s first LET winner. The young star followed this up with four top-10s during the season helping her become her nation’s first Olympic golfer at the Paris Games. Like Briem, age is just a number for Tan with the Singaporean now cemented as one of the LET’s biggest and brightest talents.
Pia Babnik (Slovenia)
Age: 21
2024 Order of Merit: 32nd
Achievements: 2x LET wins, 2x Olympian, 2019 Girls Amateur Champion, PING Junior Solheim Cup player
Entering her sixth season on Tour it is hard to believe Olympian Pia Babnik is still only 21-years-old. After a torrid 2023 plagued with injury and swing changes Babnik made a resilient resurgence last year registering four-top 10s to regain her full card and qualify for Paris 2024. Having regained her mojo, Babnik’s goal for 2025 is simple – capture LET title number three.
Pranavi Urs (India)
Age: 21
2024 Order of Merit: 17th
Achievements: 10x WGAI (Women’s Golf Association of India) wins
Also aiming for a victory in 2025 – a maiden one on the LET – is India’s Pranavi Urs. The rising star enjoyed a fantastic debut season in 2024 finishing 17th on the Order of Merit which included five top-fives. An aggressive player, Urs will be hoping she can become her nation’s next LET winner in 2025 following in the footsteps of Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar.
Darcey Harry (Wales)
Age: 21
2024 Order of Merit: N/A
Achievements: English Women’s Amateur Championship runner-up
Our first rookie on the list, Wales’ Darcey Harry impressed at Q-School playing fearless golf to eventually finish second in Morocco. The 21-year-old is a confident character on and off the course and will be making her LET debut next month at the season-opening Lalla Meryem Cup. Harry was victorious on the Santander Golf Tour in Spain last October and will now be excited for the step up.
Avani Prashanth (India)
Age: 18
2024 Order of Merit: N/A
Achievements: 1x LETAS win, 2x WGAI wins
Teenage talent Avani Prashanth made history in 2023 when she became India’s first winner on the LET Access Series at the Ahlsell Final in Sweden. Poised for big things after a successful amateur career – one which saw her tee up at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and Asian Games – Prashanth describes herself as determined and motivated and will be looking to play anything like a rookie in 2025.
Nastasia Nadaud (France)
Age: 20
2024 Order of Merit: 23rd
Achievements: 1x LETAS win, 2022 German Girls Open, 2022 European Girls’ Team Championship winner
Nastasia Nadaud epitomises French finesse with a beautiful swing and accurate short game to match. Entering her third year on Tour, Nadaud will be looking to make 2025 a breakthrough season following her solid 23rd place finish in the yearlong standings last time out. The 20-year-old registered four top-five finishes in 2025 but will no doubt have silverware on her mind like the before-mentioned on our list.
April Angurasaranee (Thailand)
Age: 20
2024 Order of Merit: 23rd
Achievements: 2022 Trust Golf Asian Mixed Cup top female, Magical Kenya Lades Open runner-up
Another third-year star, Thailand’s April Angurasranee will be also be targeting a breakthrough season in 2025. After a great rookie year April added two-top 10s to her resume in 2024 including a third place finish at the Dutch Ladies Open. Having comfortably retained her card two years in a row, April will be eager to kick on and become the Thailand’s next winner on the LET – following the likes of Ariya Jutanugarn, Atthaya Thitikul and Trichat Cheenglab.
Jess Baker (England)
Age: 22
2024 Order of Merit: N/A
Achievements: 2022 Women’s Amateur Champion
After finishing T36 at Q-School, Jess Baker follows in the footsteps of Carlota Ciganda, Georgia Hall, Emily Kristine Pedersen, Celine Boutier and Leona Maguire as the latest Women’s Amateur Champion to become an LET player. The Englishwoman got a taste for professional golf last year on the LET Access Series and will be hoping to improve her status when she makes her season debut during the South African swing.
Hitaashee Bakshi (India)
Age: 20
2024 Order of Merit: N/A
Achievements: 2024 WGAI Order of Merit, 7x WGAI wins
Finally, winner of the 2024 Women’s Golf Association of India (WGAI) Order of Merit, Hitaashee Bakshi, will also have Category 16 status this year after battling back immensely well at Q-School to finish T36. Like Prashanth, at 20-year-old will be looking to become India’s next LET star as this wave of talent continues to emerge through the nation.
