Team Europe aims to regain the Solheim Cup on home soil at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, live on Sky Sports, after a 15.5-12.5 loss in Virginia two years ago. Captain Anna Nordqvist leads a side seeking to reverse their first defeat since 2017. Recent European-hosted editions have been remarkably tight: the last three produced the closest finishes in history, including a 14-14 tie in 2023 and Suzann Pettersen's dramatic 18th-hole putt securing victory at Gleneagles in 2019. The last four contests in Europe have a combined winning margin of just six points.

Team USA holds depth in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings with nine players inside the top 50, while Europe boasts five in the top 35, including Charley Hull in her eighth appearance and rookie Lottie Woad, a two-time LPGA Tour winner. Nordqvist also has Esther Henseleit, Maja Stark, and Celine Boutier. However, five Europeans, including all four captain's picks, sit outside the top 50. Nordqvist believes the contest will come down to home advantage, with both sides closely matched in form, ranking, and experience.
