The Ladies European Tour have announced their global 2023 schedule, which will see players compete for a record-breaking total prize fund.
There will be a prize fund of €35m (£30.8m) for the 30 events next season, taking the tour to 21 different countries.
The season will start in Kenya in the first week of February while the Aramco Saudi Ladies International features an elevated prize fund of $5m (£4.2m).
Four co-sanctioned tournaments with the LPGA will be staged in July and August; the Amundi Evian Championship, Trust Golf Women's Scottish Open, AIG Women's Open and ISPS Handa World Invitational.
Hertfordshire's Centurion Club, meanwhile, will host the Aramcio Tour Series event in July.
"Thanks to our partners, promoters, host venues and fans, 2023 is going to be an incredibly exciting year for the LET," said CEO Alexandra Armas.
"This year's Race to Costa del Sol showcased the outstanding skill of our players and there will be even higher profile opportunities for our role models to shine next year, with more total prize money than at any time in our history.
"The LET now presents a platform for women to build a successful career and achieve their dreams in professional golf. We will continue to work hard to elevate the sport in Europe and around the world."
2023 also features the Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin in Spain, with Europe aiming for a record-breaking third straight win against the United States.
