History of The Solheim Cup
The Solheim Cup is named in honour of Karsten Solheim, founder of the Karsten Manufacturing Corperation, parent company for PING golf equipment. In 1990 the Solheim family in conjunction with the US and European ladies golf tours developed the concept which became The Solheim Cup. The event quickly established itself as the premier match play competition in women's professional golf. Today, just like The Ryder Cup for men, being picked for your respective Solheim Cup team is the aspiration for every female professional golfer.
