Curtis Cup rescheduled once again

The 41st Curtis Cup, due to be played at Conwy in north Wales, has been rescheduled for a second time following its postponement earlier this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, writes Martin Dempster.

It was initially announced that the new date for the event, which is played between the top women amateurs in Great Britain and & Ireland and their US counterparts, would be 3-5 September next year.

However, that drew criticism due to the fact it would have meant a clash with the Solheim Cup, which is taking place on the same dates at Inverness Golf Club in Toledo, Ohio.

As a result of that, the Curtis Cup has now been rescheduled for 26-28 August, avoiding any overlap with the Solheim Cup week.

“We have listened to the feedback we received about the rescheduled dates for the Curtis Cup in 2021 and looked again at the schedule,” said Duncan Weir, the R&A’S executive director of Golf Development and Amateur Championships.
