The 43rd Curtis Cup is here.
The Curtis Cup, an eight-woman competition between the best amateurs from the United States against their counterparts from Great Britain and Ireland, begins Friday at Sunningdale’s Old Course in England. This is the first Curtis Cup contested at Sunningdale and the 10th in England.
The Americans own a 31-8-3 lead in the biennial competition, however, this year’s team is one of the youngest ever, including 15-year-old Asterisk Talley, the runner-up at the U.S. Women’s Amateur and U.S. Girls’ Junior.
Here’s a look at the best photos from the 2024 Curtis Cup.
