History
Lisa Hed won her 8th and final Swedish Golf Tour (SGT) title at the 2006 tournament. In 2007, Caroline Hedwall won the fourth of her six SGT titles she captured as an amateur at Falköping Golf Club.
Borås Golf Club hosted its first LET/LETAS tournament in 2015, after the 2014 event was held in Vänersborg. Borås was slated to host the Borås European Masters on the 1987 Ladies European Tour but the event got stricken from the schedule.[3]
In 2015, Olivia Cowan won her second title of the season at Borås Golf Club, on her way to top the LETAS Order of Merit. In 2016, Josephine Janson recorded a wire-to-wire win for her first professional title.[4]
