The 2011 Worldwide Women's Developmental Tour Schedule

Don't have very good status--or any--on the LPGA, JLPGA, KLPGA, or LET but still want to play golf professionally? Then the world's developmental tours are perfect for you! Here's a handy-dandy guide to playing opportunities custom-made for up-and-coming female pros, from the major tour-affiliated organizations like the Futures Tour in the USA, the Step-Up Tour in Japan, the Dream Tour in Korea, and the LET Access Series in Europe to mid-size tours like the ALPG in Australia, the LAGT in Asia, and the CLPGA in China, to the even smaller ones like the TLPGA in Taiwan, the CN Canadian Women's Tour in Canada, the Generali Ladies Tour in Europe, the Cactus Tour in Phoenix, AZ, and the SunCoast Series in Florida. You'll note from the list of winners and links to leaderboards that a good number of big-time players will often compete on these developmental and mini-tours, so don't take them too lightly!
