Curtis CupThe Curtis Cup is the best known team tournament for women amateur golfers. It began in 1932 and is contested by teams representing the United States and "Great Britain and Ireland". These were also the original teams in the Ryder Cup, but unlike that competition, the Curtis Cup has not widened the Great Britain and Ireland team to include all Europeans. Many women who have gone on to become stars of women's professional golf have played in the Curtis Cup. The Curtis Cup is played every two years in even numbered years. It alternates between the two sides of the Atlantic. The teams consist of eight golfers. The United States won the 2004 event, extending its overall lead to 24 wins to 6, with 3 ties. Then fourteen year old Michelle Wie played for the U.S. becoming the youngest player in Curtis Cup history. She won both of her singles matches.
