Despite some 16 Indian girls having headed to Morocco to attempt to earn playing rights in Europe for 2026, only five made it to the final Qualifying Stage, but none cracked the top 20 which would have secured full 2026 playing rights.
Anika Varma finished 66th, Tvesa Malik 86th, teenage amateur Saanvi Somu was 119th, veteran Vani Kapoor 141st and Nayanika Sanga tied-146th.
Vani will still receive 12 LET starts in 2026 after topping the Hero Women’s Pro Golf Tour (Hero WPGT) rankings with five wins this season. The others will earn limited opportunities on the main tour and the LET Access Series — Europe’s second-tier women’s circuit that stages 18 events a year with average purses of about US$54,000.
Weather woes axed the opening round, shrinking the event to 72 holes over four days without a cut—unlike the usual 90-hole format.
It marks a tough shift from recent success: Avani Prashanth tied-16th last year for full status, Pranavi Urs tied-13th in 2023 for 2024 rights, with both scheduled to continue their LET journey next year.
