Solheim Cup scheduled for Ohio

The 2021 Solheim Cup is heading to the Inverness Club, herbal Toledo, Ohio, for the 17th edition of the competition, announced the LPGA.

The biennial competition is alternated between being hosted in the USA and Europe.

“We’re thrilled to have Inverness host the 2021 Solheim Cup,” said LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan. “Inverness is one of the premier venues in golf and will serve as a great test for a match-play competition. Additionally, Toledo has been part of the LPGA family for over 30 years and we can’t wait to see the excitement, enthusiasm and hospitality that this great community will undoubtedly bring for the Solheim Cup.”

“Inverness Club and its members are thrilled to have been selected to host the 2021 Solheim Cup,” said Inverness club president Steve Mitchell. “Our historic Donald Ross-designed course has been host to six major championships and five national championships and I’m especially proud that this tradition will now be elevated to include the biggest event in women’s golf.”

“We’re proud to support the 2021 Solheim Cup here in northwest Ohio where our corporate roots are firmly planted,” said Tom Kelley, Marathon Petroleum’s senior vice president of marketing. “Along with our sponsorship of Stacy Lewis and title sponsorship of the Marathon Classic, being a global partner for this world-renowned competition is a tremendous opportunity to extend our positive experience with the LPGA.”
