We were excited to enjoy our first US Solheim Cup. this week at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club and our team will take all the experience we have gained there, as well as our visit to Finca Cortesin in 2023, to ensure that we deliver what we aim to be the best European program to date. “
The 20th edition of the games will be the first edition run in collaboration with IMG, which has been appointed by the LET as a delivery partner for the European Solheim Cup for the first commitment from 2026 until the end of 2038.
