Solheim Cup 2023: When is it? Where is it? Who is playing? TV schedule, format

The 2023 Solheim Cup begins on 22 September, a week before the Ryder Cup. 

GolfMagic has decided to put everything you need to know about the 2023 Solheim Cup in one place. 

The 2023 contest will take place in Spain at Finca Cortesin in Canasares, a small town in Andalucia. 

It is widely regarded as one of the best courses in the country. 

The inaugural Solheim Cup took place in 1990 and since then there has been a close back-and-forth tussle between Team USA and Europe. 

Europe have won the past two contests but Team USA boast a 10-7 advantage in the competition. 

Current European captain Suzann Pettersen sank the winning putt at Gleneagles in 2019 in an enthralling contest which saw Catriona Matthew's side emerge with a 14.5-13.5 victory. 

Matthew was the captain once again and oversaw Europe's victory in Ohio in 2021. 

Pettersen is now the skipper of Team Europe and her counterpart is Stacy Lewis.
