The Solheim Cup, a biennial competition between the United States and Europe, demonstrates the series' high level of competitiveness. In the 2026 edition, the scores were 8-8 after the first day, and 15-13 in favor of Europe after Sunday's singles, clinching the cup for the first time since the Americans won two years prior. This statistic is a testament to how closely contested the tournament truly is.
Through 20 events, the U.S. leads overall with a record of 11-8-1, while Europe follows with 8-11-1. Europe's advantage is more pronounced in foursomes matches, where they lead 69-63-17, and four-ball matches, with a score of 61-60-26. The U.S. maintains a slight edge in singles matches, with 111-88-33.
The 2026 Solheim Cup saw a turnaround in the final singles session, where Europe won 7-5, marking their fourth win or retention of the Cup in the last five editions. This has helped narrow the gap in the all-time series score. The next Solheim Cup is scheduled for Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2028.
