Nelly Korda arrived at the 2024 Solheim Cup opening ceremony in a stunning black dress. Team USA is gearing up to compete against Team Europe on their home soil for the biennial tournament.
Although the Solheim Cup takes place every two years, it is returning for another consecutive edition in 2024. This year's event will take place at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club starting on September 13.
Ahead of the event, Team USA attended the opening ceremony of the tournament and they dazzled in matching black outfits. The team wore black dresses and heels as they attended the opening ceremony.

Nelly Korda, along with members of her team, also attended the Solheim Cup Gala earlier this week. The World No. 1 arrived on the red carpet in a beautiful black dress with open hair and a purse to complete her look. She donned a bracelet on one hand and a watch on the other.
NUCLR Golf shared her picture from the Solheim Cup Gala's red carpet, writing:

This year's Team USA consists of Ally Ewing, Megan Khang, Jennifer Kupcho, Alison Lee, Andrea Lee Allisen Corpuz, Lauren Coughlin, Sarah Schmelzel, Lexi Thompson, Lilia Vu, and Rose Zhang along with Korda.
When will Nelly Korda tee off for the 2024 Solheim Cup?
The Solheim Cup is a three-day tournament, which will start on Friday, September 13. On Day 1, there will be two events: the morning Foursome and the afternoon Fourball match.
The morning Foursome match will start at 7:05 a.m. ET. Eight teams, consisting of two players from each team, will compete in the Foursome match. In this format, both players from a team take alternate shots, and the team that completes the set of holes in fewer strokes wins the match.
This year again, Nelly Korda will team up with Allisen Corpuz to tee off for the Friday Foursome at the Solheim Cup. She will start her game at 7:05 a.m. ET to play against Esther Henseleit and Charley Hull from the European Team.
Notably, in 2023 too, Korda was paired with Corpuz for the first day's Foursome matches at the team event, and they played against Leona Maguire and Anna Nordqvist, helping their team secure an early lead. They won the match by 1 up.
Meanwhile, here are the tee times and pairings for the Solheim Cup Friday Foursome (all times in ET):
- 7:05 a.m. – Esther Henseleit & Charley Hull (EUR) vs. Nelly Korda & Allisen Corpuz (USA)
- 7:17 a.m. – Celine Boutier & Albane Valenzuela (EUR) vs. Rose Zhang & Lauren Coughlin (USA)
- 7:29 a.m. – Emily Pedersen & Maja Stark (EUR) vs. Ally Ewing/Jennifer Kupcho (USA)
- 7:41 a.m. – Linn Grant & Carlota Ciganda (EUR) vs. Lilia Vu & Sarah Schmelzel (USA)
Korda has auto-qualified for the 2024 Solheim Cup. This year, she will be making her third consecutive appearance at the team event. She previously played in 2019, 2021, and 2023, and has a record of 7-4-1.
