While the 2028 Solheim Cup may still be a few years away, preparations are underway to select the perfect venue for this prestigious event. The LPGA has been working hard, narrowing its options to three renowned venues.

Oak Hill Country Club, located just outside Rochester, New York, is one of the top contenders to host the 2028 Solheim Cup. This iconic venue is no stranger to hosting major golf tournaments.

Valhalla Golf Club, nestled in Louisville, Kentucky, is another strong contender vying for the honor of hosting the tournament. Designed by none other than Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1986, this club has hosted multiple high-profile events.

Lastly, Whistling Straits, located in Wisconsin, is the third venue under consideration. This stunning course gained recent fame as the host of the 2021 Ryder Cup. Whistling Straits, designed by the legendary Pete Dye, boasts a unique setting along the shores of Lake Michigan.
