Dame Laura Davies urges Charley Hull to "step up and lead" Team Europe at the upcoming Solheim Cup 2026 in the Netherlands, praising her experience and recent form. European skipper Anna Nordqvist named four captain's picks, completing a 12‑player squad. Hull and Spain's Carlota Ciganda will both play in their eighth Solheim Cup, while Leona Maguire—the only veteran among the picks—earned a spot after a strong rookie performance in 2021 and solid LPGA results. Davies highlighted the blend of seasoned players and eager newcomers, noting the loss of Georgia Hall and Madelene Sagstrom due to maternity.

She praised Maguire's "absolute lock" status, citing her 8.5 points from 12 matches. Nordqvist echoed expectations, saying she will "let Charley be Charley" and anticipates her playing some of the best golf of her career. The event runs September 11‑13 in the Netherlands, marking the end of Anna Nordqvist's nine consecutive appearances.

Sky Sports will broadcast all three days live, offering coverage of the bid to regain the trophy.
