THE MODERATOR: Thank you we are joined by Ross Hallett, SVP and Head of Golf, EMEA at IMG; Sabine Riezebos, General Manager, Bernardus; Caroline Huyskes, President of the NGF and president-elect of the EGA, very warm welcome as well. And next, Alexandra Armas, Chief Executive of the Ladies European Tour. Please give them a hand.
Thank you so much for being here. It's a pleasure. Besides that we are also very delighted to have great Solheim Cup players today: Catriona Matthew, Christel Boeljon, and Junior Solheim Cup star, Dewi Claire Schreefel.
And finally joining us virtually from the CME Group Tour Championship in Florida, we also have Mollie Marcoux Samaan, welcome, LPGA Commissioner, thanks for being there.
And here as well and sitting next to her, Anna Nordqvist, Solheim Cup star and current champion of the Netherlands Big Green Egg Open.
Without further ado I would like to hand over to Ross Hallett to let us know why we are gathered here today.
ROSS HALLETT: Good afternoon, welcome to everyone here at Bernardus, and those joining us around the world virtually.
A year ago, IMG and the LET announced our partnership, which was the IMG managing the European editions of the Solheim Cup starting in 2026 until at least 2038.
For IMG, this is an extension of our already significant support of women's golf across media, player management, tournaments, including our role in the 2019 Solheim Cup, which was so successfully captained by Catriona Matthew who joins us today.
I am delighted to announce that the news that you've probably worked out from the trophy, the logos, but following a selection process, the 2026 Solheim Cup will take place Bernardus the Netherlands where we are talking to you today.
I'm delighted that the owner of Bernardus, Robert van der Wallen is here with us today, and in Robert van der Wallen, Sabine and the whole Bernardus team, together with Caroline and the Netherlands Golf Federation Team, we meet with profound people that share our vision, our passion, our values, and together this partnership will deliver a spectacular Solheim Cup.
I'm also grateful that Sutherland Solheim, the next generation of Solheim family has joined us.
Every now and then, you find something that's unique and special, and Bernardus is just that: A world-class facility, suited to match play with a course routing that will lend itself to delivering an exceptional experience for the stakeholders, players, fans and media.
But Bernardus is more than just a fabulous venue, not afraid to push the boundaries, to think differently, it's a complete experience from the moment that you arrive.
The 2026 Solheim Cup is supported by the very forward-thinking Royal Dutch Golf Federation. You match the vision of, Bernardus, and believe the power of the Solheim Cup can support their own objectives, including strengthening the health of the sport by growing participation amongst women and families. Together this is a formidable and exciting partnership that will deliver an incredible event.
I'd like to thank everybody at Bernardus and the Royal Dutch Golf Federation but in particular Robert van der Wallen, whose personal support and vision has really been so instrumental in us being here today. Robert, thank you, we are excited about what we can collectively deliver.
Together with the LET and the LPGA, the shared ambition for everyone is to deliver a world-class Solheim Cup to create a benchmark for women's sport and to leave a long-term positive legacy for Bernardus, for Dutch golf, the Netherlands and the local community.
Today is just the start of our journey. I look forward to everyone here being part of that leading into 2026.
With that, I'm delighted to hand over to Sabine, general manager here at Bernardus and our host for today.
SABINE RIEZEBOS: Thank you, Ross, we are very, very excited to host this big global women's sport event in 2026 in the Netherlands. And we all do it for the same reason, because like everybody here, it's foremost a passion for the sport and making it accessible and exciting for a larger audience.
As we all know there is still much to gain in bringing more ladies into the course. And we are here at Bernardus as Ross already introduced us, we both know. And the name Bernardus comes from our winery in Carmel, California, and this is the brand that was founded by Bernardus Marinas Pon in the late '80s, and he was a true sports fanatic. So basically we are an American brand created by a European guy. There we have the link to the Solheim Cup again.
And if you look outside, in 2016, this was just a corn field, and we managed to create in two years' time, the Bernardus experience as we see it today. The course is designed by Kyle Phillips, who is really a world-famous golf course architect, but of course it was built with a great team of greenkeepers, pros and experts in hospitality.
We already have hosted the Dutch Open, a great European Tour event, in 2021 and in 2022 and we will host it again in May next year.
And at Bernardus, we combine great golf with unique hospitality and culinary experience with our MICHELIN Star restaurant, Noble Kitchen. The whole team makes a great effort every day to make everyone feel welcome here on the course and our special day membership concept which we have at Bernardus is a concept that makes it accessible for everybody to have a unique experience and a unique day of golf in the course. And this mission will be the same when we host the 2026 Solheim Cup.
This great opportunity is very much due to our partnership with the Royal Dutch Golf Federation, so I want to introduce you to Caroline Huyskes.
CAROLINE HUYSKES: With more than 420,000 golfers, golf is the fourth-most popular sport in the Netherlands and while this number is still growing, we believe that hosting this important global women's event will be a real catalyst for growth. We are so proud to have played a part in delivering the Solheim Cup coming to the Netherlands for the first time, and are really looking forward to work together with IMG and Bernardus in the coming years to make the Solheim Cup 2026 an unforgettable event.
Further more, this event contributes extremely well to the NGF strategy aimed at attracting women, younger people and giving sports a boost in our country as well as improving our image of the game.
And what could be more inspiring to young golfers than seeing the world's best American and European women competing in one of the most exciting formats of golf.
The fact that we have been able to bring both of the largest women's sports tournaments to the Netherlands is a reflection of the NFT's ambition to drive and will help further to grow the participation of women's golf.
Our goal is to increase the participation of women's golf from 32 percent now to 40 percent in 2030. Finally, in the coming years, we strive to grow our LET event to attract better players and to increase the prize funds.
With this, I would like then to pass to our partner Alexandra Armas, Chief Executive of the Ladies European Tour.
ALEXANDRA ARMAS: Thank you. Firstly I'd like to start by welcoming and thanking Sutherland Solheim for joining us today. The legacy and support of Solheim family has been incredible over the years.
The event has been found in 1990 by Karsten and Louise Solheim, and from then it has gone from strength to strength, attracting 130,000 fans in the 2021 edition.
The Solheim Cup is a unique event, and it's probably one of the hardest questions that I get when people ask me, "Can you explain the Solheim Cup?"
I've been lucky enough to go to nine events, and it has never disappointed. It's incredible. It's a face-to-face match between the best players in the US and Europe, full of passion and an absolute national pride. It's incredible how the competition takes place. All I can say is that you have to live it to really, really understand it.
In 2026 at Bernardus, it will be the 20th edition of the event and it will be a special one, and the first one in the Netherlands which we are very excited. I have no doubt that the event will be a great success.
All the key elements are in place with Robert and the Bernardus team and an amazing venue. I think that ultimately is the key ingredient for a successful Solheim Cup and the venue is ready to go, so it won't need very much. But that is the stage and that will where the show will take place.
And absolutely we are delighted that you have come forward and want to host this wonderful event.
And IMG and Ross and the team, the expertise competent experience in running some of the best and biggest global golf tournaments, we are in great hands there.
And the NGF, I was just laughing with Gerome that we were sitting about a year ago and hearing about the ambitions of the Dutch federation and what they wanted to achieve with growing the game and the country, and I guess the vision that would get us to a Solheim Cup, and back then it was obviously a little bit maybe of a pie-in-the-sky moment.
But to be honest, I'm sure that we are here today partly in their determination and we look forward to working together with all our partners in bringing this event to the Netherlands and making it the best and biggest event that the Solheim Cup has ever seen, and in the process growing the game along the way.
THE MODERATOR: Great news, an event to look forward to, isn't it. It's really, really big. Thank you so much.
As I said on the line we also have LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, thank you for being here with us.
Mollie, can you please add your thoughts on this big announcement today?
MOLLIE MARCOUX SAMAAN: Yeah, I think Alex said it perfectly as she always does. The Solheim Cup is one of the most exciting events in women's sports but I think in all of sports. I had the great pleasure, I think within the first couple weeks of being the Commissioner of the LPGA to attend the 2021 event at Inverness and walking out onto that first tee was like nothing I've ever experienced.
I've been to a lot of sporting events at the highest level, and the energy and the commitment of the fans and the intensity of the players was really just something to remember.
And I just remember standing there saying, wow, this is an amazing elevation of our game and of women's sports.
So really excited about today's announcement. I think as Alex said, partnership is really what drives the whole organization and it sound like we have got some amazing partners in the Netherlands, and we will continue to work together with the LET and with Bernardus and the NGF and the Federation to make sure that this event doesn't disappoint as Alex has said.
And as Alex said, we are always extremely grateful to the Solheim family for their commitment to women's golf and their commitment to the LPGA and the LET. This event drives so much attention around the world and really elevates and highlights the talent of our amazing players, and so we couldn't be more excited.
I have not been to Bernardus myself but I can't wait to be there. I've seen the pictures. It looks truly remarkable. I think the way that we are planning on staging the event will just create the energy that we are all looking for.
So I think as I said, Alex said it all beautifully, we can't wait to get this partnership going. IMG has been a phenomenal partner and I know they will carry this event into the future as well.
THE MODERATOR: You said it already a little bit there; there's arguably nothing more exciting than Solheim Cup. How important is it for you, an event like this for the LPGA?
MOLLIE MARCOUX SAMAAN: Yeah, it's extremely important. One of our big goals is to let the world see the talent of our players, both from the LET and the LPGA and to see how far women's golf has grown. This is one of those opportunities where the whole world is watching, and so yeah, it is critical.
As Alex said, it's really important to have the right venue and to have the right partner supporting it. Yeah, this is extremely important for us.
THE MODERATOR: You said you haven't been here at Bernardus yet. What are your thoughts about Bernardus?
MOLLIE MARCOUX SAMAAN: Yeah, I haven't been there yet but I've seen some of the videos and as I said, the way that the course is set up and the beauty of it is remarkable, and I know they are extremely committed to growing the event and to growing women's golf.
But as I said I haven't been there yet but I can't wait to make my first trip.
THE MODERATOR: We are looking forward to it as you do. Thank you so much, Mollie, and good luck this week.
Sitting beside Mollie, of course, is Anna Nordqvist. Anna, the same question: What are your thoughts about this news?
ANNA NORDQVIST: Congratulations, Netherlands, very excited that you guys get to host a Solheim Cup. Having played in a couple, I would say there's just nothing that beats the Solheim Cup as far as an atmosphere and as far as an experience probably as a spectator and also as a player.
A lot of people always ask me what it's like to step on that first tee, and I always say that there's just no words in the world that beats that feeling. I think that's what keeps pushing me to keep wanting to play. It's the event that all players wants to play.
I'm very excited for the Netherlands because I know how hard the Dutch federation is working, how much they do for women's golf and really how much ambition there is to grow the women's golf.
I was there playing the Big Green Egg Open this year, and it was really cool to see the efforts that are being put in from the federation and from all the partners and sponsors and team there to put on events for the women's golf, to keep growing the game, not only in Netherlands but in Europe.
To have the Solheim Cup in Netherlands in such a central location in Europe, I think is going to create a good atmosphere that's going to be accessible for a lot of people, and I expect there to be a lot of people there and I can't wait to see it.
THE MODERATOR: You just said you played the Big Green Egg Open but you won that one. You have obviously a Victorian egg in your garden. How was your first meal?
ANNA NORDQVIST: I actually haven't been home enough to use it but I spent about an hour and a half putting this thing together. I'm very excited.
I had an incredible experience. I had not been back to the Netherlands since my amateur days when we played The European Team championship, but good friends with Amandan, and it's nice to see Christel and Dewi there on site.
But I think this is a big day for Dutch golf and for Europe in general. I'm just very excited to be part of this and I hope to be there in some way.
So I'm very excited and again, congratulations.
THE MODERATOR: Before we open up to questions, I have some questions for the Solheim Cup players with us today.
We will start with Catriona, you are actually Mrs. Solheim Cup, no doubt about that; she is. You have played in nine matches and you've captained the last two, both times leading Europe to the victory so keep going I would say.
Why do you love the Solheim Cup so much?
CATRIONA MATTHEW: It's just that team element. Golf is such an individual sport, to have that opportunity every two years to play and be part of a team, you're representing your country, your continent, and I think it's just playing with your peers. You want to play well in front of them and as an in a said the atmosphere when you walk on to that first tee is like nothing else.
You know, I played my first one in 1998 and I've seen the event just grow and grow. You know, I've been fortunate enough to play here at Bernardus and it's just an amazing venue and it's going to be a very successful Solheim Cup here in 2026. I can't wait.
THE MODERATOR: I believe you came to visit Bernardus during the selection period process. What is it that you say Bernardus is "perfect"? What is it?
CATRIONA MATTHEW: Well, the food's certainly very good. (Laughter).
THE MODERATOR: The wine.
CATRIONA MATTHEW: I played the golf course, it was actually just before they were hosting the Dutch Open.
So you know, it was in amazing shape. It kind of reminded me a little bit of a links course just with the run-offs and how firm it was, and then even a little bit of like a Sunningdale and a heathland; it had the heather. When it's played in September, that will be blooming and I think the course will look spectacular.
Christel and myself played a few holes today, and there's going to be a lot of risk/reward the last few holes. The par 5 you can go for; the par 3 with water surrounding it. It's going to be exciting, and that's what the fans want to come and see.
THE MODERATOR: How important is it in your opinion to take the tournament to next and new destinations?
CATRIONA MATTHEW: Yeah, I think it's fantastic.
Obviously the Netherlands have had Christel and Anne both play in the event, both on winning teams. So we need another Dutch player in 2026. It's great to see it go around Europe and go to different countries and hopefully grow the game.
And obviously the Federation here have got great hopes that to grow the game for women and young girls and boys and get more participation, which is what every country is striving for.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you Catriona.
Up to you, Dewi Claire. What does it mean to you that the Netherlands has been awarded the Solheim Cup actually.
DEWI CLAIRE SCHREEFEL: It's a great honor, even for me just as a person, as a golfer. A true honor. It's the biggest event I think in women's golf, if not one of the biggest events in sports like everybody has already mentioned.
It will just bring so much positive attention to the game to women's golf. It's very exciting.
THE MODERATOR: And we just heard, actually, earlier today the ambition of the Dutch Golf Federation or focusing on specifically the women's sector. How do you think the Solheim Cup will impact this actually?
DEWI CLAIRE SCHREEFEL: I think it will be huge. I think it will be truly inspirational to everybody involved in golf, and even more so for women's golf and girls' golf.
I think throughout the world but especially in the Netherlands, we can use a boost there, and this event will be a great factor in that. And you know, girls can come and watch their idols, and if they don't have an idol yet, they can find one here at the Solheim Cup.
It's the best players playing at the highest level in an amazing event. So it will be a great tool to use to grow the game and have inspiration.
THE MODERATOR: You played on the junior Solheim Cup, what was it like, and what will it mean to junior players here in the Netherlands?
DEWI CLAIRE SCHREEFEL: Again, "inspiration" is the key word.
To me, it showcases what's possible and playing the junior Solheim Cup was the best event that I played in my career. Even having played as a pro, playing the junior Solheim Cup was so amazing. You play with your peers with the same goal as a team against the other best players. It was truly why I kept going and why my goal was to play on the real Solheim Cup.
Unfortunately it didn't happen but it's why I kept going and I think it's amazing that junior players get that opportunity to look forward to.
THE MODERATOR: Up to you, Christel. You played on the victorious European Team in 2011, we all remember. Can you share a little of your experience of actually being part of the match and how was it in your career? Big moment I guess.
CHRISTEL BOELJON: Yeah, it's probably one of the biggest highlights of my career having played in the 2011 Solheim Cup but it's an experience that not a lot of people get to have. You make memories for a lifetime. I don't think Beanie would ever forget every single one of them.
I think it's making memories. It's creating an experience for everybody else. You get to play for your country. You get to play for the European continent. I mean, there's so much that goes into it and so much pride when you play.
And yeah, it's just an event that is one of the best in the world.
THE MODERATOR: And you studied a long period and you spent a lot of time competing ing in the U.S. What do you think the U.S. fans and players think about the Netherlands and coming to Bernardus?
CHRISTEL BOELJON: I think they are in for a treat. I think everybody can see that the course already right now in impeccable shape, and it still has a few more years to grow and it will only get better and better.
I think the fans, now that Holland is hosting for the first time, the fans get to go to Holland and get to experience everything Holland has to offer.
Yeah, I think all in all, it's an experience that everybody will love, and we have everything to show. And people can go to Amsterdam, they get to see this beautiful course. I think they will love it.
THE MODERATOR: Very positive, of course. Any thoughts on trying to qualify?
CHRISTEL BOELJON: I think that ship has sailed. No, no, no, that's done. I'm in a new phase of my life and I will be a fan.
THE MODERATOR: I think it's time for some questions if there are. I'd like to open the floor to both the panel and questions.
Q. For Caroline, since women in general we want to encourage them to start to play golf or play it more often. Since we have four years to go, are there also plans to have special memberships combined with golf clubs? Or are there things to encourage women to come and play so that it might be easier for them because they keep on saying, it's a lot of time and everything. So maybe special things for women to get them here, or maybe not particularly here but on a golf course?
CAROLINE HUYSKES: Maybe I can answer it in the road to the Solheim Cup. Of course we will do a lot together in all the Europe.
But if you look in the Netherlands we have introduced a program, Women in Golf, were will we will put a lot of attention in and through the NGF we will go to all our clubs and we will make sure that everybody club will be very open to nice programs for ladies and women's golf.
Q. Will there be broadcasting? Will there be television? Will it be on public television or Ziggo?
ROSS HALLETT: So yes, the Solheim Cup is broadcast globally.
The LET and the LPGA have global broadcast partners. Obviously it's a long way off so some of those may get renewed.
Thinking back to the last couple of Solheim Cups, potential audience of hundreds of millions, our ambition with this is to promote, to push, to educate so that this isn't just a local event. It's a global event.
Q. Catriona, as you know, Gemma Dryburgh won her first LPGA Tour title last week. I wonder how you assess her chances of securing a spot in next year's Solheim Cup team?
CATRIONA MATTHEW: Yeah, it was great to see Gemma winning in Japan. She's been playing well this year, pretty steadily. I played a practice round with her at the British and was impressed with how she's come on. I think she's really settled into the LPGA after a few years.
Yeah, I think she's got a good chance. I think if she can keep up playing well, obviously that win gives her a lot of confidence.
And I mean, I think that the team next year, obviously a lot is going to be on how you play in these next six months at the start of next year.
I am sure Suzann has her eye on her, and if she can keep up this form, she's got a chance of making the team.
Q. So talking about the Solheim Cup in general and the choice of sites in Europe, do you think that the fact that the strengths of Continental European players in golf for women makes you choose more sites in Continental Europe and that's going to be a trendy thing going into the future?
ROSS HALLETT: Thanks for the question.
I think there's a number of factors that we are now looking for when we select venues. Obviously as we've already talked about, the quality of the golf course, the partnership, the quality of the partners.
When it comes specifically to the Netherlands, the fact that it's such a big golf market. I think Caroline talked about 420,000 registered golfers, it's clearly attractive. The fact that Bernardus itself is so accessible, not just to the whole of the Netherlands but to the whole of the Benelux region, and also the U.K., makes it attractive.
To be honest, the players thinking that far ahead and the strength of the players doesn't necessarily come into it. We would obviously hope that there's a Dutch player on the team. There's four years for that to happen.
But really, it's about selecting the venue that best serves the vision, the goals and the mission and the purpose of the Solheim Cup, and our ambition collectively is to grow that into something spectacular.
Q. The camera cut off on Catriona when I asked the previous question, if I can stretch it out a bit more if you don't mind. What do you make of where Gemma's game is at at the moment?
CATRIONA MATTHEW: Obviously in a very good place. Any time you win, you know you are obviously playing well. She's confident. I think this is the first time she's played.
In the CME this week. So she'll be looking forward to that. I think she'll be looking forward to a good finish this week, and then hopefully building on that and coming out strong for the start of next year.
Q. And what would your words of advice be to her; she talks about a place on next year's Solheim Cup team.
CATRIONA MATTHEW: It would really just to keep doing what she's doing. You have to let your golf clubs do the talking.
Obviously she'll be wanting to try and move up the World Ranking and perhaps try to force her way into the team that way, or if she doesn't quite do it like that, obviously LET points or catching Suzann's eye by keep playing how she's playing and looking for a pick.
So there are obviously different ways to get on the team, but at the end of the day it all comes down to your golf and how you're playing. It's just trying to relax next year and let her clubs do the talking.
Q. But you're confident she can make it?
CATRIONA MATTHEW: I think you need to ask Suzann these questions (laughter).
Yeah, if she keeps playing well, she has as good a chance as anyone. It would be great to see. She's a lovely person.
Q. For Caroline, and also to some of the other Dutch players or maybe even Anna, what has been the feedback you've received from the Dutch male players toward this news, and certainly to the fellow Dutch female players?
CAROLINE HUYSKES: Everybody is extremely excited, even the men players because they also think it's very important also for the future of golf in the Netherlands that we put more focus on women's golf, because if we have more women's golf, we have more juniors and we get better jurors, we get better players and that's all good for golf in the Netherlands. If it's male or female, men or ladies, everybody is extremely excited for this.
But maybe Dewie, because you are now our national coach for the girls and for the ladies in the Netherlands, maybe you want to add to this.
DEWI CLAIRE SCHREEFEL: To answer the question about how the guys' response, I haven't heard any negatives yet.
I would imagine that like Caroline said, everybody is very excited. Maybe caught a bit off-guard because I think this is quite big news in the Netherlands.
But yeah, it's positive for everybody. Having a big event, being able to showcase the Netherlands, being able to showcase the Federation and what we stand for is good for everybody.
So yeah, I hope that answers your question and I think for my teams as in girls golf, the national teams, it's huge. They get to look forward to these events and hopefully in some shape or form, they can be part of it and it may be to help out or maybe to play the junior Solheim Cup. It's really remarkable.
Q. How important is it to have the positive feedback and the positive connections with your male counterparts out there, both them supporting the Solheim Cup, and us supporting Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup and International Crown and everything, for everyone to work together in support of the game?
ANNA NORDQVIST: I know from the guys that I know, I don't know many Dutch players but I think the guys really root for us. They root for the women's tour. They root for the Solheim Cup. I know a lot of the guys always cheer for us.
I think it's awesome that we are going to the Netherlands for the first time, and it's going to different venues.
Obviously me being a vice captain for Finca for Spain next year, it's really cool to see the process of everything that goes into it and how much passion and support it really takes behind the scenes to put on an event like this.
I know everyone will be rooting for the Netherlands to put on an amazing show, and just as much as we love watching The Ryder Cup, I know the guys might not always admit it but I think they watch more than you think.
So yeah, it's going to be amazing, and I think together hopefully we can continue to grow the game in the Netherlands and in Europe as a whole. I couldn't think of a better place to put it.
CHRISTINA LANCE: I will close with one question. We are here at the CME Group championship, closing our record-breaking season, getting ready to announce exciting news for next year later this week, and this is just an exciting next step in women's golf.
What is the state of the LPGA, the LET, the Solheim Cup and the future of the women's golf?
ALEXANDRA ARMAS: Yeah, we always zoom out and look at the big metrics, and all of them are trending in the absolute right direction.
As I said before, events like this just give us a platform to tell our story and to inspire girls and women around the world with the enormous talent. Golf is a really hard game, and to see the women performing under this intense pressure, and the competition and the desire to win and perform, particularly at the Solheim Cup is amazing.
But we are here at the CME Group championship. We have the best players in the world, the Top 60 players from the LPGA competing for $7 million in total prize money, $2 million goes to the winner, which is the highest prize, the largest prize in women's golf. And I think just overall that women's golf is growing and all the tours, the LET, the LPGA, the metrics are really strong. The talent of the players is amazing.
I know Anna talked about the men and the women, and we are just so impressed by the level of play of the women these days. We look at some of the metrics, like the proximity to the hole from various distances; we look at driving distance; we look at putting accuracy, and the talent is enormous.
So when we have platforms like this this week and we have platforms like the Solheim Cup to show that talent, I think that's where we get excited.
Overall I would say the state of women's golf is extremely strong, we are extremely bullish on the future and we are really grateful for all of our partnerships around the world who support our initiatives.
CHRISTINA LANCE: That's it from the zoom here.
I will say selfishly I was in Netherlands ten days ago for the first time ever on vacation, and now thank you very much to everyone there, very excited to get back in 2026.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you to our panel today, to the great players, obviously the organization and of course to all of you, big number and great that you're all here and thank you for joining us today.
To end this announcement, we will play an amazing video and will be put on the website as well so you can watch it afterwards again and again and again.
