SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – Here’s a Solheim Cup stat that might surprise.
Players on the European team have won 18 events worldwide in the last two seasons. American Solheim Cup players have won 11.
Thirteen of those Euro victories are exclusively Ladies European Tour events.
In this current season, European Solheim Cup players have won eight times worldwide, American Solheim Cup players just three times.
American fans will argue the Ladies European Tour isn’t as strong as the LPGA. LET fans would like to prove differently this week.
