LET’S GO TEAM USA
Solheim Cup, Sept. 13-15, 2024
If someone told you to make some noise, cheer, and get loud on the golf course, you
know it’s Solheim cup time! It’s the best and most energizing team competition in
women’s golf. Team USA competes against Team Europe over three days and the
winning team gets to take the trophy and earns the bragging rights. No matter who wins,
it’s a big win for women’s golf.
This year, the competition is at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, VA, and
marks the 19 th playing of the Solheim Cup. The U.S. Team currently holds a 10-8
advantage over Europe in Solheim Cup competition, and we will support Europe to be
the second best at this competition. USA! USA! USA!
I will be cheering from my hometown of Houston, with the US flag in one hand, and an
AP US History book in the other. Got to keep the grades high for the history test and
pray for low scores for Team USA. Learning about the US Constitution where women in
18 th century were advocating for respect and representation through the role models of
Abigail Adams and Mary Wollstonecraft. Today, in the 21 st century, we have many
women role models, especially in women’s golf LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Ambassador
and Team USA captain Stacy Lewis and LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan
who are always advocating for equal rights, equal funding, and sponsorship for
women’s sports. While our roles have evolved, changed and we have achieved equality
in many areas, there is still more work to be done. Here’s to #onemillionmoregirls and
inspiring the next generation of them at The Solheim Cup
Let’s use the platform of social media and other channels to support women’ golf,
women’s sports. To quote, world’s greatest athletes: Alex Morgan, Chloe Kim, Simone
Manuel, and Sue Bird, “Everyone Watches Women’s Sports.”
Go Team USA!
