Solheim Cup 2023 Begins in Virginia

The Solheim Cup, set to begin this Friday at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia, will see the U.S. team aiming to reclaim the trophy from Europe, who have held it since 2019. U.S. captain Stacy Lewis emphasized the team's determination to win back the cup, despite last year's tie in Spain being regarded as a moral defeat for the Americans. Europe, returning 10 of 12 players from their previous winning team, has the chance to secure their fourth consecutive title, a feat never achieved in the event's history. The Americans, last victorious in 2017, have a historical advantage (10-8) in the series, yet face pressure to perform. The tournament will feature TV coverage across Golf Channel and NBC, showcasing elite match-play golf on a course known for its challenging design. Both teams will bring a mix of experienced players and newcomers, adding to the event's competitive intrigue.
