THE PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP The PING Junior Solheim Cup will take place at Sylvania Country Club, Toledo, Ohio, United States, September 1-3, 2021. The venue is located 15 minutes from the Solheim Cup venue, Inverness Club. Annika Sörenstam is the Captain for Team EUROPE and Renee Powell is the Captain for Team USA. The teams will be selected in July 2021. Inaugurated in 2002, the PING Junior Solheim Cup is a version of The Solheim Cup for female amateurs aged 18 and under (born 2003 and later) and follows a similar format to the senior event, featuring the top 12 European junior amateurs versus their American counterparts. The aim of the competition is to give junior golfers from both sides of the Atlantic the opportunity to gain international match play experience as well as the chance to meet, learn and be inspired by the professional players in The Solheim Cup. “I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP LATER THIS YEAR. The Solheim Cup was a very important part of my career and I want to make sure the junior girls have an amazing experience throughout the week. I have already met most of the girls on this year’s European team through our Foundation events and I look forward to spending time with them in Toledo this year. The Midwest has always had fantastic golf fans, so my fingers are crossed that we’ll be able to have the enthusiastic atmosphere that makes the Solheim Cup so special.” ANNIKA SÖRENSTAM, EUROPEAN PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP CAPTAIN, SWEDEN The Solheim Cup 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007 Solheim Cup Captain 2017 • Solheim Cup Vice Captain 2013, 2015 Six-time Vare Trophy • Eight-time Rolex Player of the Year Turned Professional 1992 • First and only (to date) female to shoot 59 Still the all-time money winner despite retiring in 2008 94 Professional Wins • Playing against the men on the PGA Tour in 2003 World Golf Hall of Fame • Bob Jones Award • PGA First Lady of Golf President of the International Golf Federation • Presidential Medal of Freedom OVERALL RESULTS YEAR VENUE EUROPE USA 2019 Gleneagles, Scotland, EUROPE 11 13 2017 Des Moines G&CC, Iowa, USA 9.5 14.5 2015 St. Leon-Rot GC, Germany, EUROPE 11 13 2013 The Inverness Hotel GC, Colorado, USA 9.5 14.5 2011 Knightsbrook GC, Ireland, EUROPE 12 12* 2009 Aurora GC, Illinois, USA 8.5 15.5 2007 Båstad GK, Sweden, EUROPE 14 10 2005 Bridgewater Club, Indiana, USA 8 16 2003 Bokskogens GK, Sweden, EUROPE 13 11 2002 Oak Ridge GC, Minnesota, USA 7 17 OVERALL RESULTS 2.5 7.5 * USA retained the PING Junior Solheim Cup “The PING Junior Solheim Cup was an experience of a lifetime as a junior golfer.

I enjoyed making great friendships and I loved playing for a team. Golf is such an individual sport and playing for a team is a feeling that you don’t experience normally. It really motivated me playing for Europe, for the captain and your teammates. Also, when you look at the names that have played both the PING Junior Solheim Cup and The Solheim Cup it keeps you motivated. I remember in 2005 and 2007 it was a lot of fun to watch The Solheim Cup and I wanted to be one of those players.” CARLOTA CIGANDA, SPAIN PING Junior Solheim Cup 2005 and 2007 • The Solheim Cup 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 2011 PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP PARTICIPANTS 2009 PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP PARTICIPANTS TEAM EUROPE TEAM USA TEAM EUROPE TEAM USA Captain, Liselotte Neumann, Sweden Captain, Meg Mallon, Florida Captain, Carin Koch, Sweden Captain, Nancy Lopez, Florida Vice Captain, Ludivine Kreutz, France Vice Captain, Courtney Jones, Georgia Vice Captain, Karine Mathiot, France Vice Captain, Beth Dockter, Georgia Emilie Alonso, France Karen Chung, New Jersey Anna Arrese, Spain Sarah Brown, New Jersey Amy Boulden, Wales Jaye Marie Green, Florida Rosanna Crepiat, France Ani Gulugian, California Céline Boutier, France* Kyung Kim, Arizona Tonje Daffinrud, Norway Jennifer Johnson, California Manon Gidali, France Alison Lee, California* Ana Fernadez de Mesa, Spain Stephanie Kim, New York Charley Hull, England* Esther Lee, California Leona Maguire, Ireland Jessica Korda, Florida* Emma Nilsson, Sweden Ashlan Ramsey, Georgia Lisa Maguire, Ireland Alison Lee, California* Leona Maguire, Ireland Summar Roachell, Arkansas Sherlyn Popelka, Switzerland Tiffany Lua, California Lisa Maguire, Ireland Mariah Stackhouse, Georgia Sophia Popov, Germany Kristen Park, California Antonia Scherer, Germany McKenzie Talbert, South Carolina Klara Spilkova, Czech Republic Jane Rah, Calfornia Luna Sobrón, Spain Emma Talley, Kentucky Kelly Tidy, England Alexandra Stewart, Arizona Lauren Taylor, England Gabriella Then, California Johanna Tillström, Sweden Lexi Thompson, Florida* Margaux Vanmol, Belgium Lindsey Weaver, Arizona Sally Watson, Scotland Kristina Wong, Florida * Indicates players who also played in The Solheim Cup * Indicates players who also played in The Solheim Cup 2007 PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP PARTICIPANTS 2005 PING JUNIOR SOLHEIM CUP PARTICIPANTS TEAM EUROPE TEAM USA TEAM EUROPE TEAM USA Captain, Catrin Nilsmark, Sweden Captain, Donna Andrews, Florida Captain, Charlotta Sörenstam, Sweden Captain, Colleen
