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.
Each event has been held in the general vicinity of that year's Solheim Cup.[1] The United States has won 7 of the 11 contests, with Europe winning 3, while the 2011 match ended in a tie.
Many Junior Solheim Cup players go on to play in the Solheim Cup. Of the victorious 12-woman European side at Gleneagles in 2019, 10 members had previously played in the Junior Solheim Cup.[2][3][4]
^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.
^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.
