The 2026 Solheim Cup gets under way in the Netherlands with a high-profile foursomes match pairing Europe’s Charley Hull and debutant Lottie Woad against USA world No 1 Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz. Multiple outlets highlight the matchup as a marquee feature of the first day’s schedule.
Europe is seeking to retain the trophy it won in 2024, with the USA aiming to regain it. The Guardian also notes recent form between Hull and Korda, including Korda’s narrow win over Hull at the US Women’s Open in June. Other outlets focus primarily on the star power and the fact that the Korda–Hull clash anchors Friday’s foursomes in the tournament’s opening stretch, with other pairings following in subsequent matches.
