Thanks for providing the brief summaries of your initial reaction, Tony. It helped me to quantify the way the ladies made their respective teams. Will you be going to the event in Des Moines @TonyJesselli ?

This is as about as disinterested in the SC as I can ever remember, but I will still watch...love, love, love the team events.

The LPGA commish needs to start pushing for a Presidents cup!

Been looking forward to this event. I love the Solheim Cup, Ryder Cup and even the Presidents Cup. Wish it were next week instead of two weeks away.

Ode, there should ONLY be a Presidents cup, but S Korea v ROW.

Coppertop although I can see the sentiment behind that, IMO it would not be as interesting....as the cheering for one nation/pride goes away. Have the Koreans ever played as a team against the likes of USA or the Euro's? It seems to me that individually they are all machines, but what about as a team. I could be way off on this, but I see more pressure being put on them in a team atmosphere vs. stroke play....where things could get interesting.....or we could just get rolled😁. I'd like to see it either way.

And I'm sure a few other countries would be represented, China for sure with Shanshan F., possibly Kari Webb, Brooke H., Assuming they do it like the International men's team.

Picking two LPGA players in their rookie season (Pedersen and Sagstrom) is quite a surprise. Veterans such as Sandra Gal, Azahara Munoz, and Catriona Matthew were left off team.
