Solheim Cup

The Solheim Cup is an international women’s golf tournament held every two years, alternating between European and North American courses. Unlike most professional golf tournaments, in which individual players compete to record the lowest score (usually a combined lowest score over four rounds in four days), the Solheim Cup is a ladies’ team event much like the men’s Ryder Cup, pitting Team USA against Team Europe across three exciting days of direct match play and fourball rounds. Many of the best female golfers in the world will be taking part, representing not only themselves but their nations (/continent) and having the rare opportunity in this most individual of sports to play as a part of a team. The 2024 Solheim Cup is set to be held in the USA, namely at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club par 72 golf course between September 13-15. With the 2023 edition of the tournament seeing Team Europe rack up a third consecutive win, Team USA will be looking to bring the Solheim Cup back to American soil to stay this year. Sound like fun?

How Can I Find Cheap Solheim Cup Tickets?

The Solheim Cup takes place across three rounds in 3 days (Friday-Sunday).

What Kind of Different Solheim Cup Tickets Are Available?

There are three different ticket types available for the 2024 Solheim Cup. Single-day practice round tickets are available for those who want to see great golfers practicing their craft (at a discounted price!). You can freely choose which day you want to attend. Single-day competition tickets allow fans to attend one day of competition on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday (their choice). Weekly general admission tickets allow unlimited access from Tuesday through Sunday. Tickets for juniors (17 and under) are substantially discounted ($1 for practice rounds!) but must be purchased together with an adult ticket (and juniors must be accompanied by an adult at the tournament).

Premium seating is also available at the Solheim Pavilion, which offers seats, private restrooms, food and beverage service, and spectacular views over four different holes. A weekly ticket can be purchased for access to the Solheim Pavilion (not required for children three and under).

The 2024 Solheim Cup

While the Solheim Cup has been traditionally held every other year, the 2024 Solheim Cup follows just one year on from the previous tournament in Spain (the 2023 Solheim Cup) as the event reconfigures itself to be held on even-numbered years from now on. The tournament pits Team USA against Team Europe in a three-day series of match play and fourball rounds, with the team amassing the most win points, taking home the coveted cut glass and mahogany Solheim Cup.

2024 Solheim Cup Standings - Scoring System

The 2024 Solheim Cup scoring system can seem a little bit complicated due to the tournament being contested over three days with different events on each day. It is also a match-play tournament (i.e., direct competition with opponents each hole), rather than the more common conventional stroke play tournaments (i.e., lowest overall score) that casual golf fans will be more familiar with. Solheim Cup scoring is very similar to the Europe-USA Ryder Cup standings system.

Here is a quick and easy rundown of the 2024 Solheim Cup scoring system and competition format over the tournament’s three days.

• Day 1 (September 13) - Four 2 v 2 alternate shot matches take place in the morning. An alternate shot is just what it sounds like: one teammate hits the first shot, the other teammate hits the second, and so on. In the afternoon, the format switches to fourball (again, in four 2 v 2 matches), where both teammates play their own ball, and the lowest score per hole is the one that counts. The pair that wins the most holes wins each match. One match win is worth one point for your team in the overall 2024 Solheim Cup Standings.

• Day 2 (September 14) - Same format as Day 1. Each match win adds one point for your team in the overall 2024 Solheim Cup Standings.

• Day 3 (September 15) - All 24 players from the two teams square off in 12 direct 1 v 1 matches. Each match win racks up one point for your team in the overall 2024 Solheim Cup Standings.

2024 Solheim Cup Standings - How Do You Win the Solheim Cup?

With 8 matches taking place on Day 1 and 8 more on Day 2, there are 16 points up for grabs on the Friday and Saturday of the tournament. Sunday (Day 3) has 12 points in contention for a total of 28 points in the overall 2024 Solheim Cup Standings. Last year, in 2023, the teams actually finished 14-14, which meant that Team Europe retained the trophy as 2021 winners (the previous champion wins in the event of a tie/draw).

2024 Solheim Cup Standings - Overall Victories

Since the tournament began in 1990, Team USA has won the Solheim Cup on 10 occasions up against 8 victories for Team Europe. However, Team Europe has won the trophy at the last three tournaments in a row. If Europe wins the Solheim Cup in 2024, they will be just one victory away from drawing level with their American counterparts.

Is Watching Live Golf Exciting? Is Watching Live Golf Fun?

Watching live golf is quite different from other live sports in that it is a sport that takes days rather than hours and involves individuals taking their time rather than teams racing around at a breakneck pace before the clock runs out. Many golf fans love the relaxed atmosphere around the sport, with many venues allowing fans to move freely around the edges of the course (within designated fan areas) to follow their favorite players through different stages of the course. Make no mistake though, there is no tension in the world like a golfer trying to sink a putt to win a four-day major tournament on the 18th hole in front of hundreds or even thousands of fans.
