Solheim Cup 2024: Europe and US to announce opening pairings on Thursday


The pairings for Friday’s opening Solheim Cup matches will be announced around 22:10 BST on Thursday.

Europe and the United States will play a mix of foursome, fourball and singles matches over three days in Virginia, with 28 points up for grabs.

As holders, Europe need 14 points to retain the trophy for a record fourth time, while the US need 14½ to regain the title they last won in 2017.

The 19th edition of the Solheim Cup is being held at the 6,741-yard Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, on the shores of Lake Manassas, about an hour west of Washington DC.

It opened for play in 1991 and, given its proximity to the American capital, has played host to many US presidents, with Barack Obama still a member of the club.
