The countdown is underway to Finca Cortesin hosting the biggest team competition in women’s golf, with all roads pointing to Spain for the 2023 Solheim Cup. The most talented players from Europe and the United States will gather in Andalusia in two years’ time for the biennial contest, with Europe defending the title that they won 15-13 after three days of intense competition at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, this week.
Finca Cortesin will become the first venue in Spain to stage the Solheim Cup when it takes place from September 18-24, 2023, and Vicente Rubio, president of Finca Cortesin Golf Club and managing director of Finca Cortesin, is relishing the prospect of hosting such a prestigious event and showcasing the club to a global audience. “The spirit in which the Solheim Cup matches are played is unmatched in world sport,” said Rubio.
“We all take great pride in having been chosen to host the 2023 Solheim Cup and we cannot wait to welcome everyone to the Costa del Sol in two years’ time. With the layout that Cabell Robinson has designed, the course lends itself perfectly to the match play format and I’m sure that we’re set for another three days of high drama amidst the picture-postcard setting of the Andalusian hills.”
Spain has staged 75 events on the Ladies European Tour and its development tour, while the region of Andalusia had the honour of hosting the 1997 Ryder Cup at Valderrama.
