“Complete disaster”: Journalists lash out at Solheim Cup fiasco despite Lexi Thompson’s attempts at easing the blow
The 2024 Solheim Cup is underway at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, but the tournament has begun with some controversy. The opening matches witnessed empty stands because transportation at the event prevented fans from entering the golf course.
On social media platform X (fka Twitter), Beth Ann Nichols, a senior golf writer who has been covering the tour for 20 years, spoke about the importance of the Solheim Cup for the LPGA. In her tweet, Nichols also bashed the 2024 edition of the tournament.
She wrote:
“The Solheim is the LPGA’s time to shine. The crown jewel of the tour. Complete disaster. One of the worst I’ve seen in 20 years covering the tour.”
“Lexi Thompson is on the tee to rev up the fans that did make it in the gates! Eventually this place will be rocking. But how many fans will say never again? People waited hours for a shuttle yesterday after opening ceremonies.”
