Why it matters
The Solheim Cup brings teams of leading women professionals from the United States and Europe into a three-day match-play competition of foursomes, four-ball and singles.
It gives women’s professional golf a recurring transatlantic team record in which partnerships, captains and collective points replace the ordinary individual leaderboard.
Chapter 01
Origins and identity
The first match was played in 1990 at Lake Nona Country Club in Florida. Its early results established an alternating American and European geography that remains central to the competition.
Chapter 02
Place and competitive character
American and European hosts alternate, connecting the match to clubs on both sides of the Atlantic rather than to one permanent venue.
Chapter 03
Traditions, qualification and evolution
Each match awards one point for a win and a half point for a tie. Paired sessions build the score before twelve singles matches determine the final movement of the cup.
