Team Europe is finalised and captain Anna Nordqvist says the announcement marks a milestone for her Solheim Cup journey. After difficult phone calls to inform players they missed the team, she now prepares the 12‑strong squad for the event in the Netherlands. The captain’s picks include the three rookies Julia López Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud and a third rookie, who will add aggressive playing styles. Anna Nordqvist praised the mix of experience and fresh talent, noting the four rookies bring excitement and the pairing puzzle will be worked out in the coming weeks.

Team Europe’s automatic qualifiers are Charley Hull, Esther Henseleit, Lottie Woad, Maja Stark, Linn Grant, Céline Boutier, Carlota Ciganda and Nanna Koerstz Madsen, while Leona Maguire, Ramirez, Nadaud and Rhodes were captain’s selections. The 2026 tournament at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands (Sept 11‑13) will see Europe need 14.5 points to claim their first outright Solheim Cup win since 2021.

Sky Sports Golf will provide live coverage, starting at 6 am on Friday September 11. Team USA, captained by Angela Stanford, must reach 14 points to retain the trophy after their 2024 victory, while Europe aims to regain the cup. The schedule and pairings will be finalised in the weeks ahead, with support from vice‑captains, the backroom team, caddie captains and other helpers.
