There has been speculation that the 2020 Ryder Cup, due to be played from 25 to 27 September, could be pushed back to September 2021, if fans are not allowed to attend this year because of coronavirus restrictions.
LPGA commissioner, Mike Whan is, however, adamant that the 2021 Solheim Cup will not be moved.
"Nothing drowns out a Solheim Cup. We wouldn’t change our Solheim Cup if the Ryder Cup changed theirs"
"There are a lot of big events in men's golf that make us kind of side step, whether it's the Masters or the Players Championship, that has so many hours of TV, we try to not play during some of those weeks."
"But the Solheim Cup will be just fine no matter when it's played or where it's played. I've said many times it's the greatest spectacle showcase in women's golf and we'll be just fine in 2021."
Catriona Matthew, who led Europe to a sensational win by 14½ to 13½ at Gleneagles last year, has been reappointed as the European Solheim Cup Captain for 2021.
