Representing your country and continent in a prestigious international competition like the Solheim Cup, a biennial clash between the women's teams of Europe and the United States, is a top priority for any elite player. Immersing yourself in the atmosphere and spirit of this tournament is also a unique and unforgettable experience.

All of this will be available to participants in the Objective 2023 program, an initiative promoted by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, in coordination with the company Deporte & Business, which will offer its top-ranked players the chance to experience a magical week at the Solheim Cup, which will be held this year in Toledo, Ohio (USA).

The RFEG and Deporte & Business have launched this program to improve the performance of elite female golfers and encourage competition among younger female golfers with the option of qualifying for the European team of the PING Junior Solheim Cup 2023, which will be held on the Costa del Sol as a prelude to the Solheim Cup 2023 and which will take place at Finca Cortesín, Andalusia, for the first time in history in September 2023.

To this end, a ranking will be established throughout the 2021 season to achieve all the objectives set within the program, whose regulations and operating system will be based on the criteria used by the RFEG Youth Technical Committee for the 2021 National Youth Ranking included in RFEG Circular 65/2020 dated December 23, 2020.

The top two ranked players at the end of the last event will enjoy a trip sponsored by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation to the PING Junior Solheim Cup 2021, which will be held on September 1 and 2 in Ohio (USA). There, they will share time and experiences with the European team of the PING Junior Solheim Cup 2021 and, subsequently, experience the excitement of the most important women's competition in the world, the Solheim Cup, which will be held from September 4 to 6 at Inverness Club.

The 2021 Ranking calendar includes four scoring events: the Spanish Under 18 Women's Championship, which will take place from March 18 to 21 at Sherry Golf (Cádiz); the National Junior Women's Ranking Event, which will be played from April 9 to 11 at La Torre (Murcia); the Spanish Under 16 Women's Individual Championship, which will be held from April 30 to May 2 at Alicante Golf; and, as the closing event, the Spanish Absolute Women's Individual Championship, which will be held from May 31 to June 3 at RCG La Coruña.

The deadline registration For the first event, the 2021 Spanish Under 18 Women's Championship (a qualifying event for the Women's World Amateur Ranking (WWAGR), as well as for the 2021 Women's Under 18 and Under 16 National Amateur Rankings) is now open and ends on Thursday, March 4 at 23:59.

The 2023 Solheim Cup, an event of exceptional public interest whose official venue is Finca Cortesín, is sponsored by PING, Costa del Sol, and Rolex as global partners; and by Andalucía, Acosol, the Marbella City Council, and the Benahavís City Council as official partners. Solán de Cabras, Eversheds Sutherland, and the Casares City Council are official suppliers. Marca and Radio Marca are official media outlets. The LET, LPGA, RFEG, RFGA, and Deporte & Business are collaborating in its organization.
