Captains open 20th Solheim Cup with ceremony at Bernardus Golf

The 20th Solheim Cup officially opened Thursday with a ceremony at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. U.S. captain Angela Stanford and European captain Anna Nordqvist addressed their respective teams before the competitive matches begin on Friday. The event highlights the growth of women's golf since the inaugural tournament in 1990. While the U.S. looks for its first victory on European soil since 2015, both captains emphasized camaraderie and team unity. The recent history of the event has featured narrow margins, including a tie in 2023 and a three-point U.S. win in 2024. The matches will proceed throughout the coming days as the teams compete for the trophy.
