The home stretch of the 2023 Ladies European Tour (LET) is in sight with 25 events complete and just four of them left.

This latest run of tournaments has seen a lot of moves in the 2023 Race to Costa del Sol – the season-long competition to crown the LET’s number one player.

One thing that hasn’t changed is the leader as France’s Celine Boutier still sits at the top of the rankings with 1,792.88 points from the five events she has played.

Sweden’s Johanna Gustavsson has now jumped up into second place after her maiden LET victory at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.

The 30-year-old, who finished third in last season’s Race to Costa del Sol, won by three strokes in Deauville and now has 1,551.07 points to her name.

Spain’s Ana Peláez Triviño sits in third place having accumulated 1,487.20 points from the 19 events she has played with India’s Diksha Dagar in fourth place on 1,484.61 points.

Thailand’s Trichat Cheenglab is another who has climbed the rankings after she won on the LET for the first time triumphing at the Big Green Egg Open.

The rookie finished T30 in Ireland and T33 in Switzerland, won in the Netherlands and finished in a tie for sixth place in Hong Kong to have 1,448.22 points.

India’s Aditi Ashok is in sixth place with 1,309.19 points, Sweden’s Linn Grant is seventh with 1,276.28 and Czechia’s Klara Davidson Spilkova is eighth with 1,243.46.

Dutch star Anne Van Dam has moved up to ninth place in the rankings and now has 1,1,42.80 points.

Van Dam finished in a tie for second place at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open and third place at the Aramco Team Series – Hong Kong.

While Spain’s Nuria Iturrioz rounds out the top 10 with 1,131.51 points having ended the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open in a tie for ninth place and the Individual event in Hong Kong in a share of fourth place.

With just four events left in the 2023 Race to Costa del Sol, there’s still a lot to play for with the top three receiving a bonus pool and the top 10 have the opportunity to go to the Final Stage of LPGA Q-Series. The full standings can be found here.
