2005 SOLHEIM CUP GOES TO INDIANA

CARMEL, Indiana, August 30 2002

Crooked Stick Golf Club, the famed Pete Dye-designed course and host of several memorable golf championships, has been selected as the site for the September 2005 Solheim Cup.
Said Ty Votaw, LPGA Tour Commissioner: "The Crooked Stick Golf Club name carries with it a prestige and cache that is recognised and respected throughout the golfing community and with enthusiasts from around the world.
"Crooked Stick has proven itself time and time again as a course worthy of the world-class competition an event like The Solheim Cup will bring.
Players who earn the right to represent their country on either the US or European Solheim Cup teams in 2005 will have the added honour of competing at one of the top courses in the country, as well as in one of the most seasoned and sports-savvy cities in America."
The 2005 Solheim Cup will be the ninth staging of the event, which was started by Karsten and Louise Solheim, founders of Karsten Manufacturing Corporation; Karsten Manufacturing has sponsored The Solheim Cup since its inception in 1990.
"Crooked Stick will be a wonderful site for the 2005 Solheim Cup," said John A. Solheim, chairman and CEO of Karsten Manufacturing.
"It offers a great and challenging course that has a long history of major events. For PING it is really special, as the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1993 U.S. Women's Open were won here by PING professionals.
"For the Solheim and PING families, knowing The Solheim Cup will be played on another top-100 American course, the third in a row, is what we dreamed of when we started the event 12 years ago. It shows how special The Solheim Cup has grown to be in a very short time, we couldn't be happier."
Crooked Stick Golf Club, located in Carmel, Indiana, just outside Indianapolis, was home to the memorable 1991 PGA Championship won by John Daly and the 1993 US Women's Open Championship title captured by Lauri Merten.
Opened in 1964, Crooked Stick is considered the representative club of Dye's design. A Scottish-style links course, it is one of Indianapolis' premiere courses and has been ranked the number-one golf course in Indiana by Golf Digest; 26th on Golfweek's list of America's Best Modern Courses; 65th on GOLF Magazine's list of the U.S. Greatest Courses; and 76th on Golf Digest's list of America's Greatest Courses.
The Solheim Cup is a biennial, trans-Atlantic team match-play competition featuring the best U.S.-born players from the LPGA Tour and the best European-born players from the Evian Ladies European Tour (LET). The US Team leads the competition, 4-2, and has never lost on home soil. The 2002 Solheim Cup will be staged at Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minnesota.
Due to the event's continued growth and popularity, The Solheim Cup was moved to odd-numbered years, beginning in 2003, and away from Olympic and World Cup football cycles. It will be contested at Barsebäck Golf and Country Club near Malmö in Sweden from September 12-14 2003, then move to Crooked Stick GC in 2005.
Beginning in 2003 and for all subsequent events, The Solheim Cup will be contested in odd-numbered years.
