BRASELTON, Ga. – PING and the American Junior Golf Association named World Golf Hall of Famer Amy Alcott as the PING Junior Solheim Cup’s United States team captain for the 13th edition of the biennial competition.

“This is a wonderful honor. When I got the call from John Solheim, I was very flattered,” Amy Alcott said. “I have always believed that junior golf is the lifeblood of the game. I grew up chipping and putting into soup cans in my front yard in Southern California and competed in junior tournaments from the age of 9 to 17.”

The Old Course at La Zagaleta, located in southern Spain, is set to host the all-girls event, September 18 – 19, 2023.

Modeled after the Solheim Cup, the PING Junior Solheim Cup biennially features the 12 best female junior golfers (ages 12-18) from the United States against their counterparts from Europe. The team match play event includes foursomes, four-ball and singles matches played over two days and rotates between U.S. and European host sites coinciding with the Solheim Cup. The event includes both teams watching the final days of the Solheim Cup matches at Finca Cortesin, September 18-24, 2023.
