CASERAS, Spain – Who are the favorites for the 2023 Solheim Cup in Spain?
Gambling experts in Las Vegas have currently rated the Europeans at -115. However, it is a close race with the Americans (+100). A tie is currently worth +950.
The Rolex World Ranking gives the U.S. a slight edge as all twelve Americans are ranked within the top 50. Nine Euros are ranked in the top 50 and two are outside the top 120.
Stacy Lewis will tell you that Suzann and her European teammates are the favorites. Team Europe won the last two Cups, and they will play on their home turf.
It’s not that I doubt my team. I think Europe is very, very strong. “They have all the momentum right now in this event,” Lewis said last month, when she announced her captain’s choices for the biennial tournament that starts on Friday at Finca Cortesin along Spain’s south coast. “We are going overseas and don’t have momentum on our side. That’s our biggest concern.” We are going to try to turn it around.”
Lewis added, “We have many new faces who are not familiar with the past two years.” “They don’t know how it was, and I believe that will be to our benefit as well.”
Ignorance can be blissful, but it also means that you lack the experience of a unique event. This could be a problem for the U.S. team, which has a 12-player roster this week with five rookies.
Team Europe is not only two-time champions but nine of the 24 competitors have won the event and six are European.
