SOLHEIM CUP & RYDER CUP BACK-TO-BACK IN 2023

For the first time in 2023, The Solheim Cup and The Ryder Cup, the two most important team events in professional golf, will be played back-to-back.
Usually scheduled in alternate years, global sports fans will now be treated to a two-week festival of match play golf between Europe and the United States as a result of the 2020 Ryder Cup postponement due to the  COVID-19 pandemic.

On Monday, the LET announced that The 2023 Solheim Cup, which is to be held at Finca Cortesin in the heart of Spain’s Costa del Sol, will take place from 22-24 September 2023.

The 2023 Ryder Cup will be played the following week, from 29 September to 1 October 2023, at Italy’s Marco Simone Golf & Country Club.

Ladies European Tour CEO, Alexandra Armas, said:

"We are extremely pleased to announce the dates for the upcoming 2023 Solheim Cup and we are excited to have the opportunity to be part of a two-week festival of golf. The Solheim Cup is truly one of the most dramatic and interesting golf events on the global sporting calendar and it has the ability to transcend golf to new audiences and, if the 2023 edition is anything like 2019, fans will be left wanting more and they will be lucky enough go straight onto The Ryder Cup in Italy where the men’s version of Team Europe and Team USA will go head-to-head."

The 2021 Solheim Cup will be played at the Inverness Golf Club in Toledo, Ohio, from 4-6 September. The Ryder Cup, originally scheduled for 2020, has been pushed back a year and will now be played at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wisconsin, from 24-26 September 2021.
