Solheim Cup Betting Odds

Team Europe and Team USA clash in the international women's golf tournament that takes place during the month of September. This competition has been around for many years, and it represents some of the highest quality in women's golf.

The Solheim Cup will be played over three days as each team aims to win the most points per day. By the end of the competition, the team with the highest number of points will win. Points are achieved by golfers winning their individual matches.

Matches are played using foursomes and four-ball formats. Foursomes means that two players from team Europe will play against two players from team USA. Throughout the Solheim Cup, there will be a total of eight four-ball matches played. Each golfer plays using their own ball, hence the name "four-ball".

At Bet UK, you will find that our online sports betting markets provide the latest odds for a wide range of events and outcomes that could potentially occur during the competition.

2023 Solheim Cup Betting Odds

Taking place between September 22nd and September 24th, the 2023 Solheim Cup pits USA Vs Europe in Spain's Costa Del Sol. Stacy Lewis captains the USA team, while Suzann Pettersen captains team Europe. There are three non-playing assistant captains on both teams. History suggests that Nelly Korda, Jennifer Kupcho and Angel Yin are the three best players to back for the USA team as they have a win percentage of over 50%. However, on the European team, six players have a win percentage of over 56%. So, history implies that Europe should win comfortably but it will all come down to the rookies.

There are five rookies for USA but with Lilia Vu and Allisen Corpuz expected to shine at the competition as two of USA's top players. However, with Europe's Maja Stark and Linn Grant also expected to perform admirably, backing the rookies could be a fantastic way of finding the best betting odds for this leg of the Ladies European tour.

Who will win the 2023 Solheim Cup?

As it stands the USA are the favourites. However, the betting odds are extremely tight, the odds indicate the result could come down to just one point. However, if you think the tournament will be this close, you can take a look at the options for a tie. Odds for this pre-tournament sit at approximately 12/1. However, as the competition has never been drawn, this seems very unlikely. The United States have the edge historically if we go back to the first ever event as they have won 10/17 tournaments. However, in recent history Europe have won three out of the last four by a small margin. The two teams look evenly matched but the odds are pushed towards a marginal victory for team USA.

Solheim Cup History Winners

Since starting in 1990, the Solheim Cup has been contested closely by the teams of golfers from Europe and the USA. Of the two, the USA has been the most successful over the years, but it is certainly close, making it harder to predict who the likely winners will be in the future.

At Lake Lona Golf & Country Club, the first Solheim Cup was played. USA secured the title on their own turf, with Captain Kathy Whitworth leading them to victory. Mickey Walker was the Captain of Team Europe that year, but they would need to wait until Scotland in 1992 to level things up.

Based on the previous competitions, it's clear that Europe has struggled to perform across the pond, with few wins in the USA. This could give you an idea of how they will likely compete when they need to make their next trip to the states.
