Valhalla in Louisville to stage 2028 Solheim Cup

Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky will host the 2028 Solheim Cup.

It will be the first major women’s competition held at Valhalla, which has staged four PGA Championships and the 2008 Ryder Cup.

World number two Xander Schauffele claimed his first major title in May on the course which was designed by golfing great Jack Nicklaus.

The dates for the Solheim Cup, a biennial tournament between the best female players from the United States and Europe, are yet to be finalised.

The 2024 edition of the tournament will be held between 13-15 September at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, while the 2026 competition will take place at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt in the Netherlands.

The United States lead Europe 10-7-1.
