The 2024 Solheim Cup will take place from September 10 to September 15, 2024 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, USA. This marks the first time the club, known for hosting four Presidents Cups, will host the Solheim Cup.
The Solheim Cup is one of the most important events in women’s golf. The competition, which alternates between venues in the U.S. and Europe, was first held in 1990 and has grown in popularity ever since. The 2024 edition promises to be no exception, with both teams aiming to win the trophy.
Who is the favorite to win the 2024 Solheim Cup?
Team USA will be looking to bounce back after Europe’s victory in 2023 at Finca Cortesin in Spain. The Americans, led by Stacy Lewis, hope to make the most of the home field in terms of golf, course advantage, and local fans support. Meanwhile, Europe, led by captain Suzann Pettersen, will aim to continue their strong form and secure a third consecutive victory.
Unlike most other tournaments, where players compete for a share of a monetary purse, players frequently receive gifts in lieu of prize money, and the tournament covers their expenses, including travel and accommodations.
The event will highlight the skill and competitiveness of the world’s top female golfers but also serve as a celebration of the sport, with fans from around the globe converging on Virginia to witness this thrilling competition.
