The 2024 edition of the Solheim Cup is fully underway now, as Team USA and Team Europe meet for the second time in a single calendar year after the decision to revert the event to alternate years alongside the Ryder Cup.
Bringing together some of the best golfers from either side of the Atlantic, the stars of the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour will meet at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia, United States, to decide who will take home the coveted Waterford Crystal.
On their last visit to American soil three years ago, Victory set up a successful defense back home for Team Europe last September, though they were pushed all the way as both teams played out a 14-14 draw at Finca Cortesin in Casares, Spain.
Captains Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen will reprise their roles after 2023, and both will likely bring some of their biggest stars to play on the course over three days in the late summer, with the former indeed determined to end the hoodoo her team has endured over the past few tournaments.
Stars like Celine Boutier and Nelly Korda will likely be among those teeing off, too, with fans set to be treated to a positive feast of fairway action and putting-green drama in Old Dominion.
It’s all shaping up to be another terrific tournament, but when does it take place? Where will it unfold? How can you catch all the action? Below, GOAL brings you our guide to the 2024 Solheim Cup.
