The LPGA Tour announced on Tuesday that Valhalla Golf Club, which has hosted four PGA Championships and a Ryder Cup, will be the site of the Solheim Cup in 2028. The Louisville, Ky., course is the fourth venue to have a Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup, alongside Gleneagles, Muirfield Village and The Greenbrier.
The 2028 Solheim will be the first time the LPGA plays in Kentucky in more than 50 years. The last event in the commonwealth was the Bluegrass Invitational, held at Hunting Creek Country Club in Prospect, Ky., which ran from 1965 to 1974. The Cup will be the first major women’s event held at Valhalla, which has held the four PGA Championships, two Senior PGA Championships, and the 2008 Ryder Cup, won by the U.S. 16½-11½.
This year’s Solheim will be played Sept. 13-15 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va. The Netherlands will host for the first time at Bernardus Golf in 2026. The 2028 Cup will be held in late summer or early fall.
“We are thrilled to be selected to host the 2028 Solheim Cup,” Valhalla owner Jimmy Kirchdorfer said in a release. “Valhalla has a history of providing compelling finishes and we are excited to add this event to our championship lore. We look forward to welcoming golf fans from around the globe back to our Kentucky home for what promises to be an unforgettable week of competition and camaraderie.”
