Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, golf fans will get to watch the Solheim Cup in consecutive years.

The competition between women's teams from the U.S. and Europe traditionally happens every other year. But after the 2020 Ryder Cup was postponed a year because of the pandemic, moving the men's event to odd-numbered years, the Solheim Cup is being played in consecutive years to get on an even-year schedule.

That means the U.S. squad didn't have to wait as long to try to wrestle the Cup away from the Europeans, who retained the trophy with a 14-14 tie in Finca Cortesin, Spain, last year.
