U.S. vs. Europe in the 2024 Solheim Cup: How to watch, format, schedule, teams
The 2024 Solheim Cup is back, just a year after the most recent competition. Normally a biennial event, the Solheim Cup went back-to-back years in order to return to an even-year schedule.
The U.S. leads the overall standings 10-7-1, with the first tie coming in 2023, but Europe retained the Cup having won it in 2021, as well.
The 2023 captains, Catriona Matthew for Europe and Stacy Lewis for the U.S., return to their roles in 2024 with the shorter-than-normal turnaround.
The 12-player U.S. team and the 12-member Euro squad are all set. It's time for action.
