Gleneagles has been selected as the host venue for the 2019 Solheim Cup, beating Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Stockholm.
The event, which involves the best female golfers from the United States and Europe going head to head, will return to Scotland for the first time since 2000.
Ladies European Tour chief executive Ivan Khodabakhsh said in a statement: "I want to congratulate the Scotland bid team for their work. It was an extremely close decision and our heartfelt thanks go to our friends from Sweden for their hugely impressive bid.
"The Bro Hof Slott Golf Club is one of Europe's very finest courses and we look forward to working with them in the future. The competitive nature of the bidding process for the 2019 event is testimony to the growth in interest in women's professional golf and women's sport in general."
The USA currently hold the cup following their 14.5-13.5 victory over Europe in St Leon Rot in Germany last month.
