Spain becomes the sixth European nation to play host to the biannual matches between USA and Europe’s top women’s golfers, following renewals held in Wales, Sweden, Ireland, Germany and Scotland.
Finca Cortesin is a three-time host of the European Tour’s Volvo World Match Play Championship.Ladies European Tour CEO Alexandra Armas said: “We are delighted to announce Spain as the host nation for the 2023 Solheim Cup when it returns to European soil for the 18th edition of this major international team golf event. Spain is a passionate golfing nation with knowledgeable fans and a history of developing generations of talented golfers while Andalucía’s strong cultural heritage will make for a unique experience for players, guests and supporters alike. The tournament will not only enhance the country’s reputation as an elite golfing nation but the Costa del Sol as a must-visit destination, which will help to inspire the next generation of children to take up the game.”
The next Solheim Cup will be staged in Toledo, Ohio, from September 4-6, 2021, with USA aiming to reclaim the trophy from Europe, who won at Gleneagles in 2019.
