The tournament was played annually 1985–1995.[1] It was known as the Godiva Ladies European Masters 1988–1989 and the BMW European Masters 1990–1994. The tournament was slated to return to the LET schedule in 2020 but was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Starting in 2014 Belgium has also hosted the Belgian LETAS Trophy on the LET's development tour.
