The Solheim Cup is just a week away. And the women’s Team USA will compete against Team Europe at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, from September 4 to 6. Moreover, it is one of the most prestigious events in women’s golf, similar to the Ryder Cup in the men’s competition. And recently, both sides have announced their 12 members’ team. 

Meanwhile, top golfers from the USA and Europe will lock horns against each other for three days. Furthermore, both the teams have a captain who takes all the important decisions. This year, Pat Hurst is the captain of the team U.S., while Catriona Matthew is the skipper for team Europe.
