- Wales Ladies Championship of Europe
-
The Wales Ladies Championship of Europe is a women's professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour that is held in Wales.
The tournament was first played in 1996 at Gleneagles in Scotland. It was titled as the McDonald's WPGA Championship and was the first event on the tour to be played solely for charity.[1] Following the withdrawal of McDonald's as sponsors after just three years, there was a one year break before the tournament returned to the tour in 2001 with a new home in Wales.
