The 2023 Solheim Cup follows Europe's triumphant victory in 2021 with a score of 15 points to 13. The 2021 event marked a detour from the traditional even-numbered years for the Solheim Cup, aligning it with the Ryder Cup schedule after the 2020 Solheim Cup competition was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Solheim Cup schedule will return to normalcy with the next tournament set to be held in 2024.
