History

Historical Context

The inaugural Solheim Cup was held Nov 16-18 1990 at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, where the United States defeated Europe 11-4. The biennial event, created by Norwegian-American club maker Karsten Solheim, has grown into a premier transatlantic rivalry, with the U.S. leading the series 11-7-1 through 2024. That early dominance frames today’s 8-8 tie, underscoring the competition’s evolving balance.
