Solheim Cup 2024: Everything to know about USA vs. Europe golf tournament
View Date:2024-12-24 07:51:01
The 19th edition of the Solheim Cup will be played this weekend between the best women's golfers from the United States and Europe.
The event is usually every two odd-numbered years between golf courses in the United States and Europe, but organizers decided to move the cup to even-numbered years to keep it separate from the Ryder Cup.
The 2023 Solheim Cup was played in Andalusia, Spain, and ended in a 14-14 tie after the Americans blew a two-point lead with four singles matches remaining, allowing Europe to retain the cup by virtue of its 2021 victory.
Since the inaugural Solheim Cup in 1990, the United States has won the competition 10 times, and Europe has hoisted the trophy eight times.

When: Sept. 13–15, 2024

Solheim Cup format
The Solheim Cup consists of four-ball, foursomes, and singles play, and each match equals one point. Ties are scored 0.5 for each team, and the first team to garner 14.5 points wins the Solheim Cup. If the score is tied at 14 at the end of 28 matches, the defending champion keeps the trophy.
Europe currently has the Solheim Cup as a result of the aforementioned 14-14 tie in 2023 and their 15-13 victory in 2021.
Four-ball: This format has two-player squads from each country playing each other. Each golfer plays their own ball, with the lowest score counting. The other scores are discarded.
Foursomes: Two women teams from each country alternate, hitting the same ball until it is holed.
Singles: 12 one-on-one matches
