The European teams shined at both the Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup in 2023. The men's team won the Ryder Cup earlier this year by an astounding five points while the women's team successfully defended their Solheim Cup championship.
'Europe! Europe!', a special new documentary, will chronicle the triumph of the European teams in both major competitions. The documentary will be broadcast on Sky Sports Golf at 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 21. The documentary will be televised again on Friday, December 22, at 7:30 p.m.
Earlier in September, the European team astonished the golf world with an incredible performance at the Solheim Cup. After losing all of its foursome matches on the opening day of the competition, the women's team eventually found success and held the US team to a 14-14 draw on the final day.
As the reigning champions, the European squad retained the 2023 Solheim Cup. Suzann Pettersen led the European squad as captain.
Meanwhile, the men's team traveled to Rome towards the end of September to compete in the Ryder Cup. The European team led by Luke Donald dominated the course throughout the biennial tournament and registered an impressive 16.5-11.5 victory over Team USA.
