To add to that, the cloud cover is expected to be 99%, which will give the golfers a hard time seeing things clearly. The only relief is the low Max UV Index of 2, which is actually a plus as it means players won’t have to worry about harsh sun conditions. However, the wind blowing at 8 mph with gusts of up to 26 km/h could affect the ball’s speed.

Team Europe will face a hostile crowd at the 2024 Solheim Cup
Twelve top LPGA players will be representing Team USA at the showdown in North Carolina, so the fans can expect a whole lot of entertainment and cutthroat competition if nothing less. Golfers like Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, Megan Khang, and Rose Zhang are rolling up their sleeves to take home the trophy and seek redemption. The American squad lost brutally last year after accumulating 14 points. The crowd as well is ready to roar for their favorite golfers, as the former captain Mickey Walker suggests.
“The Americans will feel it is essential to win, and it’s going to be difficult for Europe because it can get quite hostile,” said Walker, per Yahoo Sports. Walker was the captain of Team Europe in the 1992 game when they first took home the Solheim Cup trophy. According to the former European captain, this is going to be a daunting challenge for Europeans, where 90% of the support will be backing the US team.

“The American crowds will be out there to win it. It will be very pro-American, and that will be really tough,” she continued. She believes that the players who have performed for Team Europe before will know what to expect. So what do you think? Who will take home the trophy this time?
