The 2024 Solheim Cup is set to take off on September 13 at Greensboro, North Carolina. One would the event is expected to go smoothly, but will that happen? We don’t think so, courtesy of weather gods. Every fan’s biggest nightmare is knocking on the door of the 2024 Solheim Cup as well. The tournament hasn’t even started and is already under threat due to the inclement weather forecast, and we all know how that ends; delays, suspensions, and frustration. This sure has Team USA captain Stacy Lewis and Co. in quite a knot.

On Friday, September 13, Greensboro is expected to be cloudy with an incoming thunderstorm, as per Accuweather. The temperatures are expected to go as high as 24 °C and as low as 19 °C. There’s a 40% chance of precipitation and a 24% chance of thunderstorms. So, the players can expect a light show in the sky while they are ready to tee off.

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.

Speaking of atmosphere, Team USA is ready to take the rival team by storm, as the latter has already been warned to expect a hostile crowd!

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?
