Brittany Lang Named U.S. Assistant Captain for 2026 Solheim Cup in Netherlands

U.S. Solheim Cup Captain Angela Stanford has appointed major champion Brittany Lang as her third assistant captain for the 2026 Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. Lang, a two-time LPGA Tour winner including the 2016 U.S. Women’s Open, will join Stanford alongside assistants Kristy McPherson and Paula Creamer to lead the top 12 American female golfers against Europe. Lang has extensive Solheim Cup experience, having represented the U.S. five times and holding the most successful four-ball partnership in the event's history with Brittany Lincicome, going undefeated at 4-0-0. Stanford praised Lang’s confidence and composure, emphasizing her strong leadership qualities. The U.S. team reclaimed the Solheim Cup in 2024 to prevent Europe from securing a record fourth consecutive win, and will now aim for their first victory on European soil since 2015. Lang expressed excitement and honor at the opportunity to contribute as an assistant captain and to experience the event's atmosphere from a leadership role.
