The United States, led by world No. 1 Nelly Korda, begins its attempt to win the Solheim Cup on European soil for the first time since 2015, with matches starting Friday in the Netherlands. Korda, a multiple major champion and Olympic gold medalist, is positioned as the leading player for the U.S. team as it seeks to capture the biennial team event outside its home market.
The outlook focuses on how the Americans handle the unique pressures of playing on the road in front of a European crowd. Across coverage, Korda is described as central to the team’s chances, while attention also turns to the U.S. captain and the approach needed to succeed in match-play format against Europe.
With the early sessions underway, different outlets emphasize varying storylines—Korda’s individual stature and experience alongside the broader team dynamics and leadership required for a successful campaign in the Netherlands.
