Post-Solheim Cup [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/solheim-cup/], Nelly Korda [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nelly-korda/] has been off the grid for a while now. Although the tournament started off hugely in the American team’s favor, the result leaned towards the European side. The LPGA poster girl has been away from public attention ever since. Recently, she has broken the barren run and has appeared online again. Not only did she come online, but she also dragged Justin Thomas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-thomas/] into a cute interaction. She got his dog involved too, leading to an adorable exchange. NELLY KORDA IS BACK ONLINE, AND SHE COMES BEARING GIFTS Nelly Korda recently shared a story of Justin Thomas, who mentioned her and the new flavor of the Liv Pur stick she is launching. Don’t let the name confuse you. This has nothing to do with the breakaway golf tour. Justin Thomas apparently tried out the new watermelon-flavored Liv Pur drink, and Frank, his dog, has become a fan of the flavor, apparently. Just to be clear, the drink is not exclusive to canines. They are good for humans, too. JT mentioned Korda and wrote, “Frank is very intrigued by your new watermelon energy flavor.” He also added a disclaimer that Frank was on his off day and didn’t get to drink that day. Nelly Korda shared the cute story, but she didn’t add any comments. She also shared a video of her trying out the drink for the first time. Nelly Korda has been taking some time out after the Solheim Cup. She skipped the two LPGA tour events that happened post-Solheim: the Walmart Arkansas event and the Ascendant Championship. Now finally, she has resurfaced and her fans couldn’t be happier. Read more: ‘Too Cute’: Nelly Korda’s Brief Hiatus Finds a Brief ’Hump Day‘ Solace as Fans Finally See Their Favorite LPGA Girl Happy!

NELLY KORDA AND JT JOIN HANDS FOR LIV PUR Last year, in April, Nelly Korda announced her association with the brand on her Instagram. She wrote she was happy to partner up with the brand that keeps her energy on and off the course. And the new watermelon flavor is apparently associated with the 25-year-old. Similarly, JT is also a partner of the brand. In fact, he has more of an involvement with Liv Pur compared to Korda, having invested in the brand [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-what-is-justin-thomas-net-worth-in-2022/] since 2021. Liv Pur aside, fans are happy to Nelly Korda stepping back into the golf world after weeks. Do you think she will play in the BMW Ladies Championship coming up next week? Share your thoughts below.

<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Jordan Alexander Spieth is an American professional golfer. His first love was baseball, but at the age of 13, he made the decision to focus on golf. He started playing golf on the family's lawn and had to convince his parents to become members of a club where he could hone his skills.

Spieth was a star at the Amateur level and also reached the #1 ranking. He enrolled at the University of Texas in his hometown. He helped the Longhorns win the Midway through his sophomore year, turned professional, and never completed his studies.

Spieth's caddie is Michael Greller. Before he teamed up with Spieth to be his caddie, Grellar worked as a math teacher for nearly a decade. Grellar joined Team Spieth before the 2011 U.S. Junior Amateur.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth Family</strong></h2>
Jordan was born to Chris and Shawn Spieth. His mother is a computer engineer who played college basketball, while his father is the founder of MVPindex, a media analytics company.

Spieth has two siblings. His brother, Steven, is a professional basketball player who last played in Spain. His sister, Ellie, is a <span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">special needs human, </span></span>and was the inspiration behind Spieth?s charity foundation.

He married his childhood sweetheart, Annie Verret, in 2018. The couple met in high school and have been together ever since. She currently works as the event coordinator for The First Tee of Greater Dallas, an organization that looks to inspire underprivileged children through golf. The couple had a baby boy together, whom they welcomed in 2021. They named their little one Sammy Spieth.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth Records</strong></h2>
Spieth won the 2009 and 2011 US Junior Amateur tournaments, becoming only the second player after <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/">Tiger Woods</a> to achieve this feat. In 2010, 16-year-old Spieth became the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event.

[caption id="attachment_920885" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-920885 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-02-06T182719Z_621772647_MT1USATODAY17629445_RTRMADP_3_PGA-AT-T-PEBBLE-BEACH-PRO-AM-FINAL-ROUND.jpg" alt="Jordan Spieth" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 6, 2022; Pebble Beach, California, USA; Jordan Spieth plays his shot from the first tee during the final round of the AT&amp;T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He became the youngest player to win the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923 after winning at just 21 years old in 2015. In the same year, Spieth won his maiden Major at the Masters and also tied Tiger Woods? 270 total from 1997. After the win, he became the second-youngest man in PGA Tour history to win a Green Jacket after Tiger Woods.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: 2023 Net Worth</strong></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Spieth is worth around $120 million. The American has earned around $55 million from prize winnings from tournaments, placing him in the top 20 highest-earning PGA golfers of all time.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: Endorsements</strong></h2>
Ever since his debut in 2013, the golfer has been actively engaged in high-paying endorsements that have helped him rake in his bank balance. He is the face of Under Armour at the young age of 19. His meteoric rise prompted them to hand Spieth a 10-year deal in 2015. He also appeared in multiple commercials for them.

AT&amp;T is another brand that roped him in early. They brought Spieth on board in 2014, just a year after he won the Rookie of the Year. He is also associated with other top-tier brands like Rolex, Titleist, Coca-Cola, Superstroke, Wheaties, and NetJets.
<h2><strong>Jordan Spieth: Foundation and Charity</strong></h2>
Inspired by his sister Ellie, who is a specially-abled human being, Spieth established the <a href="http://www.jordanspiethgolf.com/article/about-the-jordan-spieth-family-foundation">Jordan Spieth Family Foundation</a> in 2014. The foundation supports four main causes: Special needs children, Military families, Junior golf, and Pediatric cancer.

The founding stone of the golfer?s charity has been very thoughtful and cause-oriented. He supports special needs children because his sister inspired him to do so, junior gold because it helped Spieth's transition into a professional golfer on the Tour, and pediatric cancer because Spieth lost a friend to the disease.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Justin Thomas?</b></h2>
Justin Louis Thomas is an American professional golfer. He says that watching Tiger Woods win at Valhalla at age seven motivated him to become a pro. Thomas went to college at the University of Alabama, where he helped the Crimson Tide win an NCAA championship. His success also brought him the Haskins Award as a freshman. He turned pro after his sophomore season.

Thomas was once ranked #1 on the OWGR leaderboard. His current caddie is Jim Mackay. Who stepped in after his 6-year partnership ended with Jimmy Johnson. Mackay is one of the most experienced caddies in the golf fraternity and has worked for over 25 years with Phil <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/phil-mickelson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mickelson</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Early Life </b></h2>
Justin Thomas was born on April 29th, 1993, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Mike Thomas and Jani Thomas. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Thomas was born into a golfing family. His grandfather, Paul Thomas, was a pro who participated in the 1962 US Open. His father, Mike, was also a pro at Harmony Landing near Louisville.

[caption id="attachment_1055374" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1055374 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-05-23T000538Z_653107076_MT1USATODAY18330886_RTRMADP_3_PGA-PGA-CHAMPIONSHIP-FINAL-ROUND.jpg" alt="Justin Thomas" width="1920" height="1280" /> Justin Thomas overcomes his seasonal allergies by sleeping well before the PGA Championship | Courtesy: Reuters Images[/caption]

Justin was introduced to the sport at a very young age, as he started visiting his father at the golf courses during his practice sessions along with his mother. The toddler soon started showing interest in golf and according to his father, he wanted to try to make some swings when he was merely 18 months old. As young Justin turned two, he started spending more time on the golf courses and started hitting balls and playing a few holes.

During his teenage years, Justin started playing competitive golf and also showcased immense promise, as a then-16-year-old Thomas secured the third position at the Wyndham Championship, which made him the third youngest golfer to make the cut in PGA Tour history.

&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Justin Thomas married a fellow Kentuckian, Jillian Wisniewski. The couple dated for five years before the one-time major winner announced his engagement in November 2021 during an interview on the podcast <em>No Laying Up</em>. The happy <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-years-of-togetherness-and-counting-everything-to-know-about-justin-thomas-wife-jillian-wisniewski/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">couple walked down the aisle on November 2022</a>, in Franklin, Tennessee. Wisniewski graduated from the University of Kentucky with a BA in journalism. During her university days, she also worked at the Student Center and the school's TV department.

[caption id="attachment_1758319" align="aligncenter" width="1344"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1758319" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Justin-Thomas-and-Wife-Jillian-collage.png" alt="Justin Thomas and Wife Jillian" width="1344" height="891" /> Image Courtesy: IMAGO[/caption]

Currently, she works at McGarryBowen, an advertising agency based in Chicago. Thomas has always credited his wife with being one of the most crucial support systems in his life. She helped him get through the tough times and has also been vocal about the sacrifices she made for his golf career. The couple does not have any kids yet, but Thomas is surely a favorite uncle of his fellow golfers' toddlers.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Net Worth 2024 (Update)</b></h2>
According to Marca, Thomas will have an estimated net worth of<strong> $60 million</strong>. With official career earnings on the PGA Tour totaling up to $55,759,904, Thomas ranks among the top earners in all-time money earned among golfers on the PGA Tour. Back in 2018, he found himself a spot on Forbes World's Highest-Paid Athlete, and the following year, he made it on the 30 Under 30 Sports as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Career Stats</b></h2>
The American became a pro in 2013 and joined the PGA Tour in 2015. He has played in 222 PGA Tour events and secured 15 wins on the American circuit. Out of the 222 events in which Thomas participated, he made the cut for 181 of the events. The former World No. 1 has also been the runner-up six times and has 13 third-place finishes. Looking at his top 5 finishes, the number comes up to 51 and JT has 77 top 10 finishes to date.

The 30-year-old has also been crowned the FedEx Champion in 2017, and he also went on to win the 2020 PNC Championship alongside his father, Mike Thomas.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
The former world’s number-two golfer has a strong endorsement portfolio. It includes Titleist, Footjoy, Citigroup, WHOOP, NetJets, Woodford Reserve, and Beats Electronics. The golfer is also associated with the legendary watchmaker Omega. Thomas is also signed with the sports apparel brand Greyson Clothier, through which he reportedly earns $20 million annually.

Fans can buy Thomas’ signature clubs, tour bags, and hats from Titleist. Thomas has appeared in multiple commercials for Titleist and Footjoy. In September 2020, he collaborated with Scotty Cameron on a putter called the ‘Scotty Cameron Inspired by Justin Thomas Phantom X5.5.’His endorsements also play a significant role in boosting his paycheck and net worth.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Records</b></h2>
Thomas’ first win came in 2013 at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia. He beat Adam Scott by one stroke while also setting a course record. 2017 was the golden year of his life’s career. In August 2017, Thomas claimed his first Major at the 2017 PGA Championship.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1757081" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1025758049h.jpg" alt="Justin Thomas" />

He reached five wins in that season, becoming only the fourth golfer behind Jack <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jack-nicklaus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicklaus</a>, Tiger <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woods</a>, and Jordan <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jordan-spieth/">Spieth</a> to reach five wins before his 25th birthday. He also won the FedEx Cup that year and was rewarded with the World No. 1 ranking in 2018.

At the 2020 US Open, Thomas hit 65 in the second round, which is the lowest score ever at Winged Foot. However, the golfer struggled in the 2023 US Open and finished at 12 over, which was the most dissatisfactory finish of his career.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomas’s Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
In 2019, Thomas launched the Justin Thomas Foundation with a goal to not just promote junior golf but also humanitarian goals like helping children in need and military families. He was inspired to do it after being a beneficiary of a fund as a child that helped his golf career to spring. Some organizations they have worked with are The First Tee, the Boys &amp; Girls Club of Kentuckiana, and USA Cares.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1398465" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1020508161h.jpg" alt="Justin Thomas" />

Aside from the foundation, Thomas has also played in other charity events to raise funds for various causes. He played a charity event back in <a href="https://golf.com/news/tiger-woods-jt-rory-rose-charity-match/">August 2020</a>, where he played alongside Tiger Woods and Rory <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rory-mcilroy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McIlroy</a>.

The golfer has been a philanthropist and an advocate for the betterment of everyone. In 2022, he funded an entire year of weekend meals for an elementary school in his hometown. In 2023, the American Junior Golf Association awarded the golfer’s foundation with the Junior-Am Fundraising Award, Charitable Giving Award, and Social Media Award for their remarkable work in 2022.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Nelly Korda?</b></h2>
When talking about women in the game of golf, Nelly Korda's name definitely comes to people's minds. A young golfer who has already made a mark in the world of golf through her impressive golfing skills on the course. Coming from a houseful of renowned athletes, it looks like the apple did not fall far from the tree, as the young golfer has further solidified the Korda name in the gentleman's game after following her sister's footsteps into the game of golf.

[caption id="attachment_1499928" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1499928" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1299132060.jpg" alt="Nelly Korda" width="1920" height="1280" /> LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLORIDA – JANUARY 24: Nelly Korda looks on during the final round of the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions at Tranquilo Golf Course at the Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club on January 24, 2021 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Nelly Korda has collected many accolades throughout her career, including an Olympic medal. Korda has also raked in a lot of success and fortune off the course, through various deals, endorsements, and partnerships with sports giants like Nike, all thanks to her on-course magic.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s early life and family </b></h2>
Nelly Korda was born on July 28, 1998, in Bradenton, Florida, to Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtova. While competing in professional golf, the LPGA's cover girl represents her family's rich background in the world of sports. Her father, Petr Korda, a former Czechoslovakian tennis player, won the 1996 Australian Open. Petr married his fellow countrywoman and tennis player, Regina Rajchrtova.

While Nelly Korda is the middle child of her family, she has two siblings. Her elder sister, Jessica Korda, also happens to be a professional golfer on the LPGA. In fact, it was the<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-golf-is-a-little-boring-for-sebastian-korda-nelly-korda-spills-the-beans-on-her-family-amid-recounting-her-journey-jessica-korda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> influence of Jessica that led Nelly to become a golfer. </a>

[caption id="attachment_1499903" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1499903" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1173620899.jpg" alt="Jessica Korda and Nelly Korda" width="1920" height="1336" /> AUCHTERARDER, SCOTLAND – SEPTEMBER 10: United States team players Jessica Korda and her sister Nelly Korda during the official photocall for the 2019 Solheim Cup to be held on the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles on September 10, 2019 in Auchterarder, Scotland.

Just like any other younger sibling, Nelly Korda followed her elder sister around. Jessica Korda started taking golf lessons at the age of seven and that's when Nelly Korda also got her first taste of the sport around the tender age of two and started to swing her little plastic clubs alongside her sister. Not long after, at the age of 6, Korda took up golf more seriously and started taking lessons three to four times a week. Nonetheless, their younger brother, Sebastian Korda, followed the path of their parents.

The 22-year-old Sebastian is a tennis player who won the Junior Boys 2018 Australian Open. While the sisters represent the Korda surname in the 18-hole sport, their younger brother takes care of their reputation on the tennis court.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s boyfriend</b></h2>
The family is further expanding to other sports too, thanks to Nelly's boyfriend. Andreas Athanasiou, who currently plays for the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL, has been dating Nelly Korda since 2019. While Korda represents the United States flag, her beau plays for the Canadian team internationally.

Athanasiou was drafted 110th overall in the 2012 NHL draft by the Detroit Red Wings. After playing for the Wings for five seasons, Andreas also played for the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings before finally being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2022–23 season.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s net worth 2024 </b></h2>
Since her debut on the LPGA Tour, Nelly Korda has not only amassed many accolades but has also seen an exponential rise in her net worth with each passing year. She was placed in the 22nd position as 2022's highest-paid female athlete. And was also listed on the 30-under-30 list by Forbes.

The nine-time LPGA Tour winner once again made it to Forbes 2023 highest-paid female athlete list and took the 11th spot along with U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe on the list with a net worth of 8.2 million, with $1.7 million earned on-field and $6.5 million off-field. Meanwhile, Korda's career earnings on the LPGA stand at an exorbitant $9,223,989. With her name gaining more popularity, it is quite evident that Korda's earnings will also experience immense growth.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s career timeline</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Korda started playing golf at a young age and competed in her first LPGA Tour event as a 14-year-old amateur. During her amateur days, Korda was a member of the 2015 Junior Solheim Cup team. The rising golf talent made the cut at the 2013 US Women's Open, just a week before her 15th birthday.</p>

She was a 2015 AJGA Rolex Junior All-American and also won the 2015 PING Invitational and Harter Hall Invitational as an amateur. Nelly turned professional in 2016 and played on the developmental Symetra Tour, where she won once and finished ninth on the money list to earn her LPGA Tour card for the 2017 season.

Since then, Korda has won multiple LPGA Tour events, including the 2021 Women's PGA Championship, and has risen to become one of the top players in the world. Aside from nine LPGA Tour victories, including one major win, Nelly Korda also etched her name in the history of golf as an <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/olympic-golf-hasnt-sunk-in-yet-nelly-korda-wins-usas-first-olympic-gold-in-womens-golf-since-1900-tokyo-olympics-2020-kasumigaseki-country-club/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olympic gold medalist after winning at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Being one of the most prominent names in the LPGA, it isn’t a challenge for Nelly Korda to find some big checks. As she looks to further increase her earnings, she has brand deals with Cisco, Franklin Resources, Hanwha, Richard Mille, Titleist, and Whoop. For many years, Nelly sported J. Lindeberg apparel for her performance outfits.

Nonetheless, at the start of 2023, Korda announced her signing with Nike, making it the brand's biggest women's golf partnership. Prior to her deal with American Sportswear, Forbes announced Nelly Korda's endorsement earnings to be $6.5 million in 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s career stats</b></h2>
Currently, the 25-year-old is holding the number two spot on the Rolex Women's World Golf rankings. In the seven years of her golfing career, Korda has found herself with 56 career Top 10 finishes. In 2023, the Bradenton resident made 16 cuts among the 18 events she played and also had nine top-10 finishes, despite that Korda <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-despite-a-winless-season-how-much-did-nelly-korda-earn-on-lpga-tour-in-twenty-twenty-three/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to have a single win during her 2023 campaign.</a>

Korda also has nine LPGA tour victories to her name, the latest coming at the 2024 addition of the Drive-On Championship, where the LPGA cover girl defeated Lydia <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lydia-ko/">Ko</a>. The win put an end to her long winless streak, as her last LPGA win came at the 2022 Pelican Women's Championship. And with a scintillating start to the season, the LPGA pro has also acquired 552.00 Race to CME Points.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nelly Korda’s records</b></h2>
After turning pro in 2016, it took Nelly another year to finally earn the LPGA card. In 2018, Korda won her maiden LPGA event after claiming the LPGA Taiwan Championship. She successfully defended her title a year later in Taiwan and also won the 2019 ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open and the Ladies Lacoste Open de France.

While she claimed three wins in 2019, it was barely even close to Nelly Korda's best season two years later. Nelly started the 2021 season with a win at the Gainbridge LPGA, which marked her first triumph in the American Soil. She continued her hot form later at the Meijer LPGA Classic in June with a stunning -25 total score. A week after her sixth professional win, Korda secured her maiden major at the Women's PGA Championship.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)[/caption]

Nelly had to outclass fellow American Lizette Salas with three fewer strokes to earn her first major victory, taking her to the number one position in the ladies' golf rankings. The rising LPGA star further embraced her name amongst the greats of the sport by winning the gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, held in 2021.

She ended her 2021 season with a win at the Pelican Women's Championship. A year later, Korda returned to the same event to retain her title. Further in November 2022 at the Ladies European Tour's Aramco Team Series in Sotogrande. Korda's latest win came on her home turf at the Bradenton Country Club. Where <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-lpga-tour-nelly-korda-ends-fourteen-month-drought-to-win-lpga-drive-on-championship-shatters-lydia-ko-s-hopes-in-playoffs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she took the trophy for the 2024 Drive-On Championship</a> after defeating Lydia Ko in a nail-biting playoff.

Nelly Korda 2024: Net Worth, Salary, Endorsements, and More

<h2><strong>Solheim Cup 2023 - History, Format, and Composition</strong></h2>
The Solheim Cup is the Ryder Cup?s sister tournament and follows the same format and structure. The International Cup is played among female golfers, and it is returning in 2023 with its 12th edition. The three-day event will begin on September 22 and conclude on September 24. The contest is being held at Finca Cortesin in Casares, Andalusia, Spain.
<h2><strong>Introduction to the Solheim Cup</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Origin and Naming</strong></li>
</ul>
The Solheim Cup is a biennial golf tournament for professional women golfers contested by teams representing Europe and the United States. The tournament is named after the Norwegian-American Karsten Solheim, who is known for founding the golf club manufacturing company PING and was also a driving force behind the Cup?s establishment.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Inaugural Year and Schedule Changes</strong></li>
</ul>
The inaugural Cup was held in 1990 at Lake Nona, Florida. Until 2002, the event was only played in even years. After the September 11 attacks in Europe and schedule alterations in 2001, the Solheim Cup was switched to odd-numbered years beginning in 2003.

[caption id="attachment_760222" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-760222 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-06T231208Z_1491951973_MT1USATODAY16698384_RTRMADP_3_LPGA-SOLHEIM-CUP-FINAL-DAY-SINGLES-MATCHES.jpg" alt="Matilda Castren" width="1920" height="1281" /> Sep 6, 2021; Toledo, Ohio, USA; Matilda Castren of Team Europe holds the Solheim Cup after defeating Team USA during competition rounds of the Solheim Cup golf tournament at Inverness Club.

2001 was not the only year when the schedule was shuffled. Things got riled up again in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Solheim Cup will return in 2023.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>???Historical Winners</strong></li>
</ul>
The United States teams have won the Solheim Cup 10 times, and Europe has won the Cup 7 times. In 2021, Europe won in Ohio and is the current defending champion for the 2023 edition.
<h2><b>Format of the Solheim Cup</b></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Tournament Duration</strong></li>
</ul>
The Solheim Cup is a three-day tournament. Since 2002, there have been 28 matches?eight foursomes and eight four-balls played on days 1 and 2, and 12 singles on the final day.

Every match is worth a single point, and for every tied hole, the team gets half a point. After all matches are complete, the team with the most points wins the Cup. In cases of tied scores, the deafening team retains the cup.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Match Types and Scoring</strong></li>
</ul>
The format of the Solheim Cup is as follows:
<ol>
 	<li><strong>Day 1</strong> (Friday): Four foursomes matches in a morning session and four fourball matches in an afternoon session. A total of eight players from each team participated in each session, and not all the players competed on the first day.</li>
 	<li><strong>Day 2</strong> (Saturday): Four foursomes matches in a morning session and four fourball matches in an afternoon session. A total of eight players from each team participated in each session, just like the first day.</li>
 	<li><strong>Day 3</strong> (Sunday): 12 singles matches where all 12 players from each team participate.</li>
</ol>
[caption id="attachment_760218" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-760218 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-09-06T232205Z_183246143_MT1USATODAY16698401_RTRMADP_3_LPGA-SOLHEIM-CUP-FINAL-DAY-SINGLES-MATCHES-1.jpg" alt="Leona Maguire" width="1920" height="1281" /> Sep 6, 2021; Toledo, Ohio, USA; Leona Maguire of Team Europe, drinks from the Solheim Cup after defeating Team USA during competition rounds of the Solheim Cup golf tournament at Inverness Club. Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports| Reuters[/caption]
<ul>
 	<li><strong>???Tie-Breaking Rules</strong></li>
</ul>
After the completion of three days, in order to win, a team has to have the majority of the 28 points. In case there is a tie and, after three days, both teams put 14 each on the leaderboard, the team that won the previous year retains the cup.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>???Team Composition</strong></li>
</ul>
Other than the 12 playing players, there are four other golfers on the team who are not playing. Out of four non-playing members, one is a captain, and three are vice-captains.

The team captains are selected on the basis of their Solheim Cup experience and their ability to lead a team. Captains and vice captains are usually recently retired professional golfers.
<h2><strong>Team Qualification and Selection</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><strong>U.S. Team Selection</strong></li>
</ul>
<ol>
 	<li><strong> Points System</strong></li>
</ol>
Team USA selects the top seven players from the LPGA Solheim Cup points rankings, and then the next two players in the team are the top two players in the Women's World Golf Rankings. The remaining three are chosen by the team captain. LPGA Solheim Cup points are earned for top-20 finishes on the LPGA Tour over a two-year period.
<ol start="2">
 	<li><strong> Eligibility Criteria</strong></li>
</ol>
Members of the United States team must be current members of the LPGA Tour and meet one of these three citizenship criteria:
<ol>
 	<li>U.S. citizens by birth, regardless of their birthplace</li>
 	<li>Those who were naturalized as U.S. citizens before age 18</li>
 	<li>Those who became U.S. citizens by adoption before age 13</li>
</ol>

<ul>
 	<li><strong>European Team Selection</strong></li>
</ul>
<ol>
 	<li><strong> Points System (Pre-2005)</strong></li>
</ol>
For the European team, seven players were selected on a points system based on the results of the Ladies European Tour. This criteria allowed top European players who competed mainly on the LPGA Tour to be selected to ensure that the European team was competitive.
<ol start="2">
 	<li><strong> Points System (since 2007)</strong></li>

Solheim Cup

Solheim Cup 2023 &#8211; History, Format, and Composition The Solheim Cup is the Ryder Cup?s sister tournament and follows the same format and structure. The International Cup is played among female golfers, and it is returning in 2023 with its 12th edition. The three-day event will begin on September 22 and conclude on September 24. The contest is being held at Finca Cortesin in Casares, Andalusia, Spain. Introduction to the Solheim Cup Origin and Naming The Solheim Cup is a biennial golf tournament for professional women golfers contested by teams representing Europe and the United States. The tournament is named after the Norwegian-American Karsten Solheim, who is known for founding the golf club manufacturing company PING and was also a driving force behind the Cup?s establishment. Inaugural Year and Schedule Changes The inaugural Cup was held in 1990 at Lake Nona, Florida. Until 2002, the event was only played in even years. After the September 11 attacks in Europe and schedule alterations in 2001, the Solheim Cup was switched to odd-numbered years beginning in 2003.

Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports 2001 was not the only year when the schedule was shuffled. Things got riled up again in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Solheim Cup will return in 2023. ???Historical Winners The United States teams have won the Solheim Cup 10 times, and Europe has won the Cup 7 times. In 2021, Europe won in Ohio and is the current defending champion for the 2023 edition. Format of the Solheim Cup Tournament Duration The Solheim Cup is a three-day tournament. Since 2002, there have been 28 matches?eight foursomes and eight four-balls played on days 1 and 2, and 12 singles on the final day. Every match is worth a single point, and for every tied hole, the team gets half a point. After all matches are complete, the team with the most points wins the Cup. In cases of tied scores, the deafening team retains the cup. Match Types and Scoring The format of the Solheim Cup is as follows: Day 1 (Friday): Four foursomes matches in a morning session and four fourball matches in an afternoon session. A total of eight players from each team participated in each session, and not all the players competed on the first day. Day 2 (Saturday): Four foursomes matches in a morning session and four fourball matches in an afternoon session. A total of eight players from each team participated in each session, just like the first day. Day 3 (Sunday): 12 singles matches where all 12 players from each team participate.

In case there is a tie and, after three days, both teams put 14 each on the leaderboard, the team that won the previous year retains the cup. ???Team Composition Other than the 12 playing players, there are four other golfers on the team who are not playing. Out of four non-playing members, one is a captain, and three are vice-captains. The team captains are selected on the basis of their Solheim Cup experience and their ability to lead a team. Captains and vice captains are usually recently retired professional golfers. Team Qualification and Selection U.S. Team Selection  Points System Team USA selects the top seven players from the LPGA Solheim Cup points rankings, and then the next two players in the team are the top two players in the Women&#8217;s World Golf Rankings. The remaining three are chosen by the team captain. LPGA Solheim Cup points are earned for top-20 finishes on the LPGA Tour over a two-year period.  Eligibility Criteria Members of the United States team must be current members of the LPGA Tour and meet one of these three citizenship criteria: U.S. citizens by birth, regardless of their birthplace Those who were naturalized as U.S. citizens before age 18 Those who became U.S. citizens by adoption before age 13 Sep 4, 2021; Toledo, Ohio, USA; Ally Ewing of Team USA in a listens in a huddle near the eighteenth green after winning her match during afternoon fourball in the 2021 Solheim Cup at Inverness Club. Mandatory Credit: Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports European Team Selection  Points System (Pre-2005) For the European team, seven players were selected on a points system based on the results of the Ladies European Tour. This criteria allowed top European players who competed mainly on the LPGA Tour to be selected to ensure that the European team was competitive.  Points System (since 2007) Since 2007, only the top five players from the LET qualify, and another four are selected on the basis of the Women&#8217;s World Golf Rankings.
