Solheim Cup Teams Announce Final Picks

The US and European Solheim Cup teams are finalized, with notable inclusions and exclusions. Stacy Lewis, captain of the US team, selected Lexi Thompson, Jennifer Kupcho, and Sarah Schmelzel as her wildcards, joining top-ranked players Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu. Thompson, playing her seventh and final Solheim Cup, brings extensive experience, while Kupcho and Schmelzel provide a mix of experience and fresh talent. European captain Suzann Pettersen chose veterans Georgia Hall, Anna Nordqvist, and Emily Kristine Pedersen, along with rookie Albane Valenzuela, to bolster her team. The competition will take place at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club from September 13-15, with Europe aiming for a 'four-peat' after retaining the cup last year.
