|Europe The 2007 Solheim Cup was the tenth Solheim Cup, held 14–16 September at Halmstad GK in Halmstad, Sweden. It was a three-day contest for professional female golfers, pitting the 12 best players born in the United States against the 12 best players born in Europe. The U.S. team won the competition, 16 to 12, to retain the Solheim Cup.

Format

The Solheim Cup is a match play event, as opposed to the more common stroke play format. A total of 28 points are available, divided among four periods of team play, followed by one period of singles play. The first period, on Friday morning, consists of four rounds of foursomes. This is followed in the afternoon by four rounds of four-ball. This schedule is repeated on Saturday morning and afternoon. The four periods on Friday and Saturday account for 16 points. During these team periods, the players play in teams of two. The captain of each team can play a player as many or as few times as she desires. The final 12 points are decided in a round of singles match play, in which all 24 players (12 from each team) take part.

Teams

The European and United States teams were selected by different methods.

The European Team was selected by taking the top five players from the LET Solheim Cup standings, followed by the top four European LET members on the Rolex Women's World Rankings at the agreed cut off date who were not already qualified via The Solheim Cup standings, and three captain's selections. Qualifying points for the European Team are awarded weekly to the top-10 finishers at official LET events.

The U.S. Team qualified by earning points for wins and for top-20 finishes on the LPGA Tour over a two-year period. Points were earned beginning with the 2005 State Farm Classic and concluding with the 2007 Safeway Classic. The ten players with the highest points were automatically selected for the Team. Two additional players were selected by captain Betsy King after the Safeway Classic on August 26, 2007.
