Scotland has to chosen to host the Solheim Cup in 2019, when Gleneagles will become the third venue in the home of golf to stage the biennial event.
In what was a straight fight against Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Sweden, the host venue for he 2014 Ryder Cup came out on top.
Scotland first staged the event in 1992 at Dalmahoy, before it returned eight years later at Loch Lomond. Both stagings resulted in European wins.
Ping chairman John Solheim, whose family set up the matches, said:
“I am excited that the Solheim Cup will be returning to Scotland, home of Europe’s first win. Gleneagles is certainly one of the great venues in golf and will provide a wonderful experience for all. I’m sure that the members of the 2019 Solheim Cup teams will be up to meeting the challenges of this exceptional golf course.”
Eight-times Solheim Cup player Catriona Matthew, who will be 50 years old in 2019, is being tipped as a likely European captain.
