TOLEDO, Ohio – The 17th Solheim Cup begins on Saturday at the Inverness Club, an historic Donald Ross design that has played host to four U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships.

Home soil has been good to Team USA. The Americans have won seven of eight contests they’ve hosted. Of course, that one loss was a doozie: Europe won the 2013 contest at Colorado Golf Club by eight points, the biggest thrashing in Cup history.

Europe also won the last contest in 2019 at Gleneagles in dramatic fashion, with Suzann Pettersen draining the winning putt and then retiring on the spot. She’s back as a vice captain for Catriona Matthew, who will try to become the first European captain to win twice.
