Standplaats solheim cup 3: mannetje van de radio
Deze week beleeft de Solheim Cup op Bernardus Golf zijn hoogtepunt. Hoofdredacteur Martijn Paehlig verschaft ons een kijkje achter de schermen.
Context en achtergrond
The Solheim Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments in women's golf, has a rich history that dates back to 1990. This biennial event, contested between Team Europe and Team United States, is named after the Norwegian company Solheim, led by the legendary golf course architect Karsten Solheim. Over the years, the competition has gained immense popularity, attracting more than 90,000 visitors to Inverness Club in Ohio in 2021. The rise of the Solheim Cup has led to greater visibility for women in the sport, inspiring a new generation of golfers.
For instance, during the 2021 edition, the average age of participants in the European team was just 26 years, indicating how the sport has become rejuvenated. In recent years, there have also been continuous records set, both in scoring and participation, benefiting the growth of women's golf.
