Matthew will try and defend Solheim Cup as Euro captain in 2021

Catriona Matthew will captain the European Solheim Cup team again in 2021.

The Ladies European Tour made it official in an announcement Thursday at Gleneagles in Matthew’s native Scotland, where she led the Euros to victory against the Americans in September in one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the biennial international team event.

Matthew, 50, will captain the Euros in a road game this time, with the United States hosting the Solheim Cup at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.

Matthew added to her already impressive Solheim Cup history as the architect of the European victory in her homeland in September.
