London, England: Two former Patsy Hankins Trophy representatives have been named among ‘10 Young Stars to Watch’ on the Ladies European Tour (LET) in 2026.
Singapore’s Shannon Tan and Indian Avani Prashanth were members of the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC) team that contested the Patsy Hankins Trophy against the European Golf Association in Spain in 2023.
Since then, they’ve turned pro and have already made impressive impressions. And more is expected of them in the coming months.
In its introduction to an article posted on its website, the Ladies European Tour said: “A new season is now just around the corner. As an abundance of young players look to make their mark in 2026, here are 10 members aged 22-and-under to watch out for on the LET this year.”
Top of the list was Singaporean Tan.
“We start with the biggest star of 2025 on the LET, Singapore’s Shannon Tan. The Olympian had a 2025 to remember, picking up victories at the Amundi German Masters and Hero Women’s Indian Open en route to claiming the Order of Merit. Incredibly, Tan is still only 21 years old, having joined the LET in 2024 when she won on her professional debut at the Magical Kenya Ladies Open. After missing out on an LPGA card at Q-Series, Tan will remain on the LET in 2026 where she will look to defend her Order of Merit crown on top of making an impact at the Majors.”
Prashanth, winner of the low individual honours at the 2023 Queen Sirikit Cup, is also being tipped for success this year.
“Teenage talent Avani Prashanth made history in 2023 when she became India’s first winner on the LET Access Series (LETAS) at the Ahlsell Final in Sweden. Still only 19-years-old, Prashanth enjoyed a solid rookie campaign in 2025, picking up two top-10 finishes to end the year 36th in the Order of Merit. With one season now under her belt, the aggressive-playing Prashanth is another young star to watch in 2026.”
Also included in the top-10 listing is Australian Justice Bosio, who finished seventh in the Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific in Thailand in 2024 before joining the ranks of the pros.
“Keep an eye on Justice Bosio in 2026 as she becomes the latest Aussie to make the jump from the WPGA Tour. The 21-year-old competed on the LET Access Series (LETAS) in 2025 before finishing tied ninth at Q-School to earn a full LET card. Prior to turning pro in 2024, Bosio impressed as an amateur on the circuit finishing tied sixth at the Australian Women’s Classic in 2022 and tied sixth at the Ford Women’s NSW Open in 2024.”
