2024 Solheim Cup: Winner, Scores, Player Records

The 2024 Solheim Cup was the 19th time this three-day, United States-vs.-Europe team competition was played. Following Team USA's victory over Team Europe, the all-time standings were 11 wins for Team USA, seven wins for Team Europe, plus one tie.

Final score: United States 15.5, Europe 12.5

Dates: September 13-15, 2024

Location: Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia

Team captains: Suzann Pettersen for Team Europe and Stacy Lewis for Team USA

Team rosters:

  • Europe — Charley Hull, Esther Henseleit, Celine Boutier, Maja Stark, Linn Grant, Leona Maguire, Carlota Ciganda, Madelene Sagstrom, Georgia Hall, Anna Nordqvist, Albane Valenzuela, Emily Kristine Pedersen
  • United States — Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, Lauren Coughlin, Ally Ewing, Allisen Corpuz, Andrea Lee, Rose Zhang, Alison Lee, Megan Khang, Jennifer Kupcho, Sarah Schmelzel, Lexi Thompson
Notes: Team USA jumped to a big lead on Day 1, then made it stick over the next two days to beat Team Europe by three points. It was the first American win in the competition since the 2017 Solheim Cup.

The Americans won the opening foursomes session by three points to one, and won the Day 1 afternoon fourball session by the same score. At the end of Day 1, Team USA led, 6-2. Day 2 was a wash, with both sides winning four matches. For a time during the latter half of the Day 3 singles session, it appeared Team Europe might pull off the improbable comeback to tie the competition and retain the cup. But Lilia Vu's comeback against Albane Valenzuela, forging a tie, earned the half-point the American side needed to clinch the victory.

Rose Zhang led Team USA with a 4-0-0 record, Lauren Coughlin earned 3.5 points (3-0-1) and Megan Khang went 3-0-0. Charley Hull lead Team Europe with a 3-2-0 record, including beating world No. 1 Nelly Korda, 6 and 4, in the opening singles match.
