Louisville’s Professional Golf Game Scores An Ace

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (August 13, 2024)— Fresh off the 106th PGA Championship held at Louisville’s Valhalla Golf Club, the LPGA announced the course will host the 21st Solheim Cup in 2028. The Solheim Cup is the biennial international match-play competition showcasing the best American players from the LPGA Tour against the top European players from the Ladies European Tour (LET).

With the 2028 Solheim Cup, Valhalla will join The Greenbrier, Muirfield Village and Gleneagles as the only venues to host both a Solheim Cup and a Ryder Cup. This will be the first major women’s competition held at Valhalla, which has hosted numerous major men’s individual and team events in its illustrious history. Dates for the 2028 Solheim Cup, which will be held in the late summer or early fall, will be announced later. The 2028 Solheim Cup marks the LPGA Tour’s return to the commonwealth of Kentucky for the first time in more than 50 years.

“Between the PGA Championship, the 150th Kentucky Derby, the upcoming U.S. Women’s National Team soccer match and much more, 2024 has been a memorable and record-breaking year for sports in Louisville and this announcement solidifies our reputation as one of America’s top cities for hosting major sporting events,” said Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg. “Thanks to Mollie, the LPGA and the team at Valhalla for bringing the Solheim Cup to Louisville. I’m thrilled for golf fans and women’s sports fans from around the world to visit our city for this incredible event in 2028.”
