Scotland Among 10 Countries Bidding To Host 2019 Solheim Cup

Scotland has "thrown its hat in the ring to stage the Solheim Cup for a third time," according to Martin Dempster of the SCOTSMAN. The "Home of Golf" is among 10 countries to express an interest in hosting the '19 clash between Europe and the U.S. The chance to "stage it has led to the Ladies European Tour receiving record interest" for the biennial event. Up against Scotland are Denmark, England, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Wales. After weighing up the options, the LET intends to announce the 2019 host later this year following the 14th edition of the matches in Germany (SCOTSMAN, 3/3).

SKY SPORTS reported the South African Rugby Union announced it will bid to host the 2023 World Cup, "having previously made three unsuccessful attempts." SARU must now receive approval from the country's national Olympic Committee and government, "but this is expected to be a formality with the bid process due to open in May" (SKY SPORTS, 3/4).
