Rose Ladies Series schedule and results
The Rose Ladies Series is back for 2024, but what is the schedule and who has taken victory?
Keep up to date with the schedule and results of the Rose Ladies Series right here with NCG.
The Rose Ladies Series was set up in 2020 by Ryder Cup star Justin Rose and his wife Kate. It was set up to provide a comeback for professional golf in the United Kingdom following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justin and Kate put their name and money behind the series, which has since gone from strength to strength, and is now into its fifth year!

When setting up the series, 2013 US Open champion Rose explained: “I am keenly aware that I now have the opportunity to go back to work and compete on the PGA Tour but this is not the same for the ladies and some junior tours as well.”

2024
For the third year in succession, the Rose Ladies Series returned with a five-event schedule, all piled into a two week stint in April.
Again, the north west of England and the London area were the host regions, with three events at iconic locations on the north west coast.
Event 1: West Lancs
Cancelled due to inclement weather
Thanks to storms rolling through the area over the days prior to the tournament, and then winds of up to 65mph on the day, the decision was taken to cancel the event at West Lancs for the safety of everyone involved.
We are sorry to announce that due to today’s high wind speeds & weather warning, the @RoseLadiesGolf event has had to be cancelled.

2020
Event 1: Brokenhurst Manor
Charley Hull won the inaugural event after seeing off fellow LET player Liz Young in a play-off on her home course.
World No 25 Hull was two clear with two to play but a double bogey at 17 saw her fall back level with Young on even par. A 15-footer for birdie at the first extra hole was enough to take the £5,000 first prize.
Event 2: Moor Park
Meghan MacLaren birdied the first hole of the second Rose Ladies Series event at Moor Park and never looked back.
MacLaren was five shots clear of the pack on the 11th tee before four dropped shots in the next three holes made for a much more interesting finish.
In the end she finished at 3-under, two ahead of Liz Young and amateur Sam Fuller.
Event 3: The Buckinghamshire
Given the winning scores in the first two events were even par and 3-under, Gemma Dryburgh probably didn’t expect to challenge when she was 2-over on the 4th tee.
But she was in contention when she reached the turn at 1-over par before catching fire on the back nine, with birdies at 10, 13, 14 and 16 enough for a one-shot victory over former Women’s British Open champion Georgia Hall.
Event 4: Royal St George’s
Gemma Dryburgh made it back-to-back wins thanks to a 1-under-par 69 at Royal St George’s.
It was a frantic finish at next year’s Open venue. Dryburgh dropped a shot at the 15th and watched playing partner Charley Hull go one clear with birdie at the par-3 16th. The third player in the group, Georgia Hall, had a bogey four to fall back to even par.
Hull finished bogey-bogey to hand Dryburgh, who parred her way home, her second Rose Ladies Series title.
Event 4: JCB Club
The final three holes at JCB Country Club proved to be decisive in the fourth Rose Ladies Series event.
In the end, Gab Cowley’s five birdies through 12 were enough to sneak a one-shot victory over a five-strong group tied for 2nd that included Charley Hull and Georgia Hall.
Indeed, on a day that yielded plenty of birdies, the six players that finished under par played the final three holes in a combined 9-over-par.
Event 5: Bearwood Lakes
After a couple of runner-up spots Georgia Hall is finally off the mark in the Rose Ladies Series.
It was a rollercoaster round at Bearwood Lakes for the former Women’s British Open champion, who holed four birdies and three bogeys in the opening 13, before parring her way home for a 1-under 71 that proved to be enough.
Meghan MacLaren, who won the second event at Moor Park, was in a six-strong group tied-2nd at level par.
Event 6: The Shire
Georgia Hall showed her class at the Shire to win her second straight Rose Ladies Series event.
Hall rolled in seven birdies and two bogeys for a 5-under 67 and a three-shot win over Liz Young and Kylie Henry.
Her record prior to the Grand Final read 2nd-2nd-2nd-1st-1st.
Grand Final: Wentworth
Charley Hull won the Rose Ladies Series Order of Merit after the three-day Grand Final was cancelled midway through the final round as wildfires raged near Wentworth.
Play was suspended when fires on nearby Chobham Common crept over the railway line that runs alongside the West course’s 9th hole and near the 10th tee.
The 10th tee is the furthest point from the clubhouse on the huge Wentworth estate and players were brought in while the emergency services worked on controlling the fire. NCG spoke to a player involved who said everyone was in and safe.
Organisers announced soon after that play was suspended for the day and will resume on Saturday, but the Major Incident Command Centre ruled that the course would need to be closed indefinitely and the decision was made to end the Series after the second round of the Grand Final.
A statement read that they “worked through the night to find a suitable alternative date for both the venue and players” but “with the imminent recommencement of a packed LET and LPGA schedule it proved impossible to do”.
Alice Hewson, who led the at the 36-hole stage as well as the time of suspension, was handed the £10,000 first prize, while Hull wins £20,000 for topping the Order of Merit.
Matt Coles
Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
