Less than 100 days before the Solheim Cup in the Netherlands, Anna Nordqvist pulls back the curtain on the European side’s grind. She notes that selection will finish in two months and that the team is tightening its circle. A week at the US Women’s Open saw her swap ideas with former captain Suzann Pettersen, sharpening strategy.

The race for automatic spots heats up as Helen Briem snatched a win at the Jabra Ladies Open de France, moving within a point of Chiara Tamburlini on the European points list. Across the pond, Celine Boutier captured the ShopRite LPGA, while Maja Stark and Charley Hull posted stellar rounds at the US Women’s Open. These performances tighten the field for September.

Nordqvist plans a mid‑July practice round at Bernardus Golf, the venue that will host the 2026 event, with her vice‑captain Anne van Dam bringing insights from Los Angeles. The pair will lock in team details while the LPGA’s Dow Championship in Michigan teams up European stars like Linn Grant and Julia Lopez Ramirez, testing chemistry ahead of the majors.

With three majors—KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Evian Championship, and AIG Women’s Open—still to come, Nordqvist eyes the final qualification stretch. She says the goal is to bring every hopeful onto the same page before September, ensuring Europe’s lineup is locked in and ready to counter the United States when the match arrives.
