Show Notes
The Solheim Cup is here, and Iona Stephen and Dan Walker are breaking down Team Europe and Team USA ahead of the action at Bernardus in the Netherlands.
In this special bonus episode of For the Love of Golf, Iona and Dan take a closer look at both teams, the key players who could make the difference and where the Solheim Cup could be won and lost.
They discuss two of the biggest stars in the women’s game - Europe’s Charley Hull and USA’s Nelly Korda - and what they could bring to their respective teams.
There’s also a look at the battle of the captains, with Anna Nordqvist leading Europe against Angela Stanford’s USA, plus plenty of discussion around the exciting young talent in the European team and whether a new generation can rise to the occasion.
Who has the stronger team? Who will thrive under the pressure? And, most importantly, who will be lifting the Solheim Cup in the Netherlands?
