Team Europe made it back-to-back wins at the PING Junior Solheim Cup 2023 and defended their crown for the first time in history after defeating USA 15-9 at the Old Course of La Zagaleta, Spain.
The aim of the PING Junior Solheim Cup is to give junior golfers from both sides of the Atlantic the opportunity to gain international match play experience as well as the chance to meet, learn and be inspired by the professional players playing in The Solheim Cup.
Karsten and Louise Solheim were the visionaries behind the introduction of The Solheim Cup in 1990. The idea of staging a prestigious transatlantic competition for girls, similar to The Solheim Cup, was first proposed by John Solheim, PING’s current Chairman and CEO, who was determined to provide talented young girl golfers with a platform on which they could forward their careers by competing at the highest level against their peers from the other side of the Atlantic.
Ten of the 12 professional golfers playing in The European Solheim Cup team and six from the U.S. Team have all played in the PING Junior Solheim Cup. They were promising youngsters at the time, who have now become great stars of world golf, and now write the history of the Solheim Cup, becoming an essential focus of attention. Thanks to all of them, this biennial event occupies a well-deserved place among the best junior sports competitions in the world.
