We're less than a day away from the pairings announcement (3:30 pm tomorrow) and Friday is the first day of the competition between the US and Europe.
Team members from both squads who met the press today were asked about potentially changing the format of the Solheim Cup because of the strength of the Asian players on the LPGA Tour.
I know where that line of questioning was coming from, but I think it's misguided.
I wrote about this very thing on Monday, and the way to incorporate the Asian players (as well as everyone not from the U.S. or Europe) is to revamp what used to be the Lexus Cup.
There is nothing wrong with the Solheim Cup - it should stay the way it is. The LPGA Tour just needs to get a bit more creative with adding another team event that can captivate audiences both here and abroad.
