The top LET players are headed to India for the 26th event of the calendar year. Teeing off on October 20, the 15th edition of the Hero Women’s Indian Open comes at the tail end of the season.

The players have gotten a taste of the competition with the Hero Skills Challenge. But before the main event commences, let’s dive deep into who the top contenders are in the $4,000,000 event.

Johanna Gustavsson

Gustavsson will hope to ride on the strong wind of her recent win at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France. Currently in the second position on the season-long standings chart, the Swedish golfer is a top contender for the top spot on the Race to Costa del Sol, and a win this week will certainly be something she’ll look to grab for it.
