Gleneagles will host the Solheim Cup in 2019, the Ladies European Tour has announced.
The PGA Centenary Course hosted the Ryder Cup in 2014 as Europe beat the United States for the sixth time in seven events and now the women's teams will face the same test.
Europe surrendered the Solheim Cup last month as the United States completed a remarkable comeback to win 14 1/2 - 13 1/2 in controversial circumstances in Germany.
Suzann Pettersen came in for intense criticism at Golf Club St Leon-Rot after denying she and team-mate Charley Hull had conceded a two-foot putt on the 17th hole of their fourball match after America's Alison Lee had picked up her ball.
Europe were awarded the hole and went on to win the match two up, but it was the indignant Americans who eventually claimed the trophy by recovering from 10-6 down in the singles.
Pettersen issued an apology in the aftermath of the American victory and tempers appear to have now cooled ahead of the event heading to Des Moines Golf and Country Club in 2017.
Gleneagles beat The Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Sweden to earn the right to host the event two years later and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is delighted to see the event coming to Scotland.
"This is tremendous news, not only for golf tourism and events in Scotland but for Scotland as a whole," she said.
"As a nation we take a huge amount of pride in welcoming major events to our country and in women's golf they don't come any bigger than the Solheim Cup.
"The outstanding success of 2014 still looms large in the memory and I am delighted that Gleneagles and Scotland will once again play host to a major international team golf event.
"It will help cement Scotland's reputation as the home of golf and the perfect stage for major golf events and help inspire a new generation of children to take up the game invented in their home country."
Scotland has played host to the Solheim Cup twice before at Dalmahoy Country Club in 1992 and Loch Lomond in 2000.
