As the U.S. Solheim Cup team prepares for the 2024 tournament at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, they were met with an unexpected and cringe-worthy request on Tuesday: to sign old, awkward photos of themselves.
While the U.S. squad is focused on avoiding a fourth consecutive loss to the Europeans, these photos offered a brief, humorous distraction. From Sarah Schmelzel’s dismay over a goofy shot to Alison Lee’s mechanical bull ride and Nelly Korda’s relieved comment about
avoiding a bikini photo, the players’ reactions were both relatable and endearing. With the embarrassing autographs behind them, the team hopes to channel their energy into the competition, looking for redemption on home soil.
