Dec. 16, 2004 – The biennial Solheim Cup will return to Sweden in 2007, where the event will be played in Halmstad. The coastal city is 309 miles southwest of the capital, Stockholm.

Founded in 1990 by Karsten Manufacturing Corp., the Solheim Cup matches pit the top European-born golfers from the Ladies European Tour and the top American players from the LPGA in a competition that is similar in format to the Ryder Cup.

The cup is made up of 28 matches, including eight foursomes, eight four-ball matches and 12 singles played on the final day of the three-day event.

The next Solheim Cup will be played in September 2005 at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind.

Annika Sorenstam led Europe to a seven-point victory over the United States at Barseback Golf and Country Club in Sweden during 2003 in the biggest rout in Solheim Cup history.
