Bronte Law aims to experience the Solheim Cup buzz this year in a different capacity, serving as vice-captain for the Junior Solheim Cup while embracing motherhood. The English golfer, part of Europe's 2019 victorious team, admits this season "looks a bit different" after welcoming her son in November. Despite not competing for playing spots, Law remains connected to Team Europe's environment, finding inspiration in supporting others during competitive moments.

The LET offers 40 million euros in prize money this season, with Law planning to compete in approximately 10 tournaments. Balancing family life with professional golf presents new challenges, as the 30-year-old golfer admits she's been "winging" it during the first months of motherhood. While her gym routine suffered initially, Law has resumed three weekly workouts, acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining fitness with limited sleep.

Law's perspective on golf has fundamentally shifted since becoming a mother. "I guess there's a lightness to that, in that I'll just go out and play for the enjoyment of it," she explains. With absolutely no idea how she'll perform having last played professionally in September, Law approaches this season with reduced pressure, viewing it as a learning experience for both herself and her family as they navigate their new normal.
