Belgium: 40 golf clubs raise over €61,000 for women in Pink Ribbon Ladies Golf Cup

Belgium's Pink Ribbon National Ladies Golf Cup ended its second season with more than €61,000 raised for its breast-cancer support mission. The 2026 series involved 40 golf clubs nationwide, compared with 28 in its inaugural year. Regional golf publication Golflimburg reported on the outcome on 22 October 2026. At the time of checking, Pink Ribbon's own campaign page displayed €61,373 in donations; a live fundraising total can change as new contributions arrive.

Forty local qualifiers and a national final

Every participating club held its own qualifying event and fundraising activities. Under the 2026 format, two winners from each club qualified to represent their club in the grand final on 12 October 2026 at Royal Waterloo Golf Club in Walloon Brabant, Belgium. This was a Belgian national club initiative—not an LPGA Tour stop or the official national amateur championship.

The organizer is Pink Ribbon, the Belgian non-profit working on breast-cancer awareness and support. The format links the club golf season to a single gathering for the qualifiers. The reporting reviewed does not provide a complete, independently verifiable final leaderboard, so no individual champion is named here.

A wider club network—and higher donations

Pink Ribbon's published figures for 2025 were €53,495 raised across 28 clubs. By 2026, participation had grown to 40 clubs and the reported campaign total passed €61,000. The 22 October report from Golflimburg stated €61,363, whereas the fundraiser counter subsequently displayed €61,373 when checked. Rather than portraying either moving figure as permanently final, the reliable conclusion is that the second campaign exceeded €61,000.

The campaign also publishes contributions from individual clubs: Royal Bercuit Golf Club €7,541, Château Golf de la Tournette €3,946, and Royal Golf Club Oudenaarde €2,020, as displayed in the organizer's updates and fundraising pages. These are donation amounts, not tournament scores or prize money.

What the money is intended to support

Pink Ribbon says one priority for the 2026 campaign is helping people affected by hair loss during breast-cancer treatment. The programme aims to offer financial help for items such as wigs, headscarves and other head coverings. Money raised should not be confused with funding already distributed to recipients: the public fundraising counter does not establish that every euro has been paid out.

For Belgium's golf community, the headline is broader than a trophy. Forty local clubs coordinated women's competitions and practical fundraising around a nationwide cause, with Royal Waterloo providing the common finishing point.
