The Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands features a large number of spectators arriving by bicycle, with thousands of riders seen around the course. Coverage highlights that the tournament, played between teams from the United States and Europe, is encouraging fans to travel by “two wheels” rather than by car or public transport.
Reports describe the venue’s rural setting in North Brabant as a factor, with fans using pedal power to reach the grounds. One example quoted is Janet Metcalfe, a 58-year-old retiree from Cheshire, England, who rides about 30 minutes from her hotel in nearby Vught to Bernardus Golf. Other accounts focus on the overall scale of bicycle attendance among spectators lining the fairways.
While the outlets largely converge on the bicycle-focused fan trend, they differ slightly in emphasis: some frame it as a distinctly Dutch way to attend a major golf event, while others underscore the practical logistics of getting to the course in the local area.
