This year's Solheim Cup at Gleneagles has become the UK's best attended women's golf event - more than a week before players tee off.

80,000 tickets have already been sold for the event in Perthshire - which sees Europe take on the USA.

The three day competition begins on Friday 13 September.

A Solheim Cup spokesperson said: "Demand for tickets has been extremely high and we are almost at 80,000 confirmed attendances for the week, which already makes the 2019 Solheim Cup the highest attended women’s golf event ever held in the UK.

“There are still tickets available but we would encourage anyone still looking to attend to buy in advance via the website to avoid disappointment."
