Solheim Cup 2021

This event is different than your typical professional golf tournament. It’s not about the traditional golf clap and there are no Marshals holding Quiet Please signs. We need you to GET LOUD, dance to the music on the first tee, paint your face, dress up in red, white and blue, and support TEAM USA.

Event tickets can be purchased at solheimcupusa.com.
