About the Solheim Cup

The Solheim Cup combines the tradition and prestige of the game of golf
with passion for one’s country and continent. This biennial,
trans-Atlantic team match-play competition features the best European
players from the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the best U.S. players
from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour. The Solheim
Cup is named in honour of Karsten Solheim, the founder of Karsten
Manufacturing Corporation, which makes PING golf equipment. In 1990, the
Solheim family, in conjunction with the LET and the LPGA, developed the
concept and became the title sponsor for the Solheim Cup, professional
golf’s international match-play competition for women. Today, the global
partners of The Solheim Cup are PING, Scotland, The Home of Golf, and
Rolex. Held every two years, the event has grown into the most
prestigious international women’s professional golf team event. The
Solheim Cup is the most highly coveted trophy in women’s professional
golf team competition; some of the most memorable moments in the sport
have happened during past Solheim Cups and berths on the European and
U.S. teams are highly sought-after by players from both organisations.
The 2017 Solheim Cup took place on August 14-20, at Des Moines Country
Club in Iowa, United States. The U.S. Team retained the coveted
Waterford Crystal trophy by 16 ½ to 11 ½ points. For more information
