Junior Solheim Cup

The Junior Solheim Cup is a version of the Solheim Cup for girls aged 12 to 18. It was inaugurated in 2002. It is currently officially called the PING Junior Solheim Cup. The Junior Solheim Cup follows a similar format to The Solheim Cup and features the top 12 U.S. amateur girls—defined as girls participating in American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) events—versus their European counterparts. College/university golfers are ineligible to participate in the event, even if they meet the age cutoff. The event is held over two days, with six fourball and six foursomes matches on the first day, and twelve singles matches on the second day.

The home team has won seven of the 10 contests, while the 2011 match ended in a tie. The only wins by the visiting team, as well as the only tie, all took place in Europe, with the U.S. winning in 2015 and 2019.

Notes
  1. Neither the Solheim Cup nor the Junior Solheim Cup used the club's two courses (North and South) in the configurations played by members. The Solheim Cup used a composite course made up of nine holes from each circuit. The Junior Solheim Cup used the remaining holes for its composite course.
  2. The matches ended in a 12–12 tie. The rules state that in the event of a tie, the cup is retained by the team that held it before the contest.
