Stacy Lewis once again captains the USA, with Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu being the only two players to have assured their spots on the team. At present, they will be joined by Ally Ewing, Megan Khang, Andrea Lee, and Rose Zhang.
Recent Solheim Cup Results
The Solheim Cup was staged for the first time in 1990, with the event held in even years up until 2002 to avoid clashing with the Ryder Cup. However, the rescheduling of events saw the competition moved to odd years in 2003. But, it returned to an even-year schedule following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The United States have been crowned champions on ten occasions, while the European team has secured success on eight occasions. You can find the most recent results for the Solheim Cup below.
