Where All 24 Solheim Cup Players Sit In The World Rankings
Team USA enter the 2024 Solheim Cup as favorites thanks to home advantage and higher world rankings


The 19th Solheim Cup is upon us at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, where Stacy Lewis' Team USA will look to beat Suzann Pettersen's Europeans for the first time since 2017.
Lewis' side enter as the favorites to win back the famous Solheim Cup trophy this week, in part to home advantage as well as an advantage when it comes to the world rankings.
While Pettersen's highest-ranked player is World No.10 Celine Boutier, Lewis has three world-top-10 players at her disposal in No.1 Nelly Korda, No.2 Lilia Vu and No.9 Rose Zhang. Major winners Allisen Corpuz, Jennifer Kupcho and Lexi Thompson, likely playing in her final Solheim Cup, add more world class talent to the side.
USA has 11 of its 12 players inside the world's top 50, while Europe has nine of its 12.
The total US ranking adds up to 310 with Europe's total equalling 504.
Team USA are favorites to win the 2024 Solheim Cup, which would be their first win since 2017
Odds and world rankings ultimately make no difference to the final result, though, and USA goes into most Solheim Cups as favorites and with a heavy world ranking advantage - similar to the men's Ryder Cup.
Europe might be the underdogs but World No.10 Celine Boutier and No.12 Charley Hull headline a very strong European side that also includes Sweden's Maja Stark, Linn Grant, Madelene Sagstrom and player/vice-captain Anna Nordqvist.
