Solheim Cup 2024: Schedule, tee times, teams and how to watch on TV
Europe are the holders and are gunning for a record fourth consecutive Solheim Cup after retaining the trophy last year with a 14-14 draw.
But USA are clear favourites to end their miserable drought and win the competition for the first time since 2017, boasting the two best players in the world in Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu and another in the top 10 in Rose Zhang.
Europe’s leading lights are France’s Celine Boutier, ranked ninth in the world, and England’s Charley Hull, who is ranked 11th.
Both captains are back, with Suzann Pettersen leading Europe and USA skippered by Stacy Lewis.

Solheim Cup formats explained
The fourball format consists of a pair of players from each side playing in one group, each player playing their own ball.
At the end of each hole the best score from each pair is counted towards whether the hole goes to Europe, the USA or is halved.
How does it differ from foursomes?
In foursomes there are the same number of golfers but instead of playing their own ball the pairs take alternate shots with the same ball.
Complications can arise here as to whose ball is used, as each playing will be accustom to the particular ball they use on Tour.
