The Inverness Club in Ohio will host the 2021 edition of the Solheim Cup, the LPGA has confirmed.
The Donald Ross-designed course in Toledo has hosted the US Open on four occasions, two editions of the PGA Championship and, more recently, the 2003 and 2011 US Senior Open.

Two more Solheim Cups will be played before then, with the 2017 tournament taking place at Des Moines Country Club in Iowa and the 2019 edition at Gleneagles in Scotland.
The host United States team will defend their title next year after coming back from a deficit in the singles to win 14.5-13.5 at St Leon-Rot in Germany in 2015.
"We're thrilled to have Inverness host the 2021 Solheim Cup," said LPGA commissioner Mike Whan.
"Inverness is one of the premier venues in golf and will serve as a great test for a match-play competition.
"Additionally, Toledo has been part of the LPGA family for over 30 years and we can't wait to see the excitement, enthusiasm and hospitality that this great community will undoubtedly bring for the Solheim Cup."
US Solheim Cup star Stacy Lewis added: "I think Inverness is going to be an unbelievable venue for us with all of the history with the guys playing there and just the history of the golf course itself.
"It's such a cool course to play with a bunch of holes really close and I think it's going to help make for a very loud Solheim Cup."
