Solheim Cup Tournament Format
The tournament is played over three days.
Since 2002, there have been 28 matches consisting of eight foursomes and eight four-balls matches played on days 1 and 2, and 12 singles on the final day.
Before 1996, and also in 2000, the Solheim Cup used a similar, but abbreviated format.
Solheim Cup Points Scoring System
One point is awarded to the team that wins each match; in the event of a tie, both teams score half a point.
After all matches are complete, the team with most points wins or retains the Cup.
Any ties are awarded in favour of the defending team, which means a team only needs 14 points to retain the cup and 14.5+ to win the Solheim Cup
