Source-derived summary

The Dutch Ladies Open is a women's professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour that is played in the Netherlands. It was first played in 1986, and annually from 2004 to 2015. It resumed play in 2021.

History

Home player Liz Weima won the 1994 event, held at Rijk van Nijmegen in hail, rain and cold winds, to become the first Dutch golfer, male or female, to win at the European level.

In 2025, for its 26th installment, the tournament was moved from Hilversumsche to Goyer Golf & Country Club in the province of Utrecht. The 54-hole stroke play competition featured a 132-player field, representing 33 different nationalities.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dutch Ladies Open” as golf tournament. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1986, 2004, 2015, 2021—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1986. The account is most persuasive where Dutch, Ladies and golf can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as golf tournament. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2565086. Authority coordinates are 52.317, 5.550. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2004, 2015 and 2021.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
