Following the conclusion of the 2024 Solheim Cup matches in Virginia, attention now turns to the host venue for the 2026 matches, Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, which will be staging the 20th renewal of the event from September 7-13.
Located an hour from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Central train station, Bernardus Golf’s championship golf course was designed by Kyle Phillips and has a proven tournament pedigree, having hosted three editions of the KLM Dutch Open on the DP World Tour from 2021-2023.
As one of the premier events in women’s sports, spectators can look forward to an exceptional experience where sports, entertainment, and hospitality blend seamlessly at the highest level.
Robert van der Wallen, the owner of Bernardus commented: “With the date set, we are full speed ahead with our preparations to welcome this great event to Bernardus for the 20th edition in 2026. We have enjoyed experiencing our first US-based Solheim Cup this week at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club and our team will take all the experience garnered there, as well as from our visit to Finca Cortesin in 2023, to ensure we deliver what we aim to be the best European edition to date.”
The 20th edition of the matches will be the first edition run in partnership with IMG, who were appointed by the LET as the delivery partner of the European Solheim Cup for an initial commitment from 2026 through to the end of 2038.
The appointment of IMG came on the back of delivering the successful 2019 Solheim Cup in partnership with Visit Scotland seeing over 90,000 spectators attend the match at Gleneagles and millions watching the broadcast around the world.
Together, the NGF, Bernardus, the LET and IMG aim to deliver a world-class Solheim Cup in 2026 that creates a benchmark in women’s sports events, leaving a long-term positive legacy for Bernardus, Dutch golf, the Netherlands and local community.
