The 2024 Solheim Cup will be held at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia from September 13 to September 15.
This is the second time in two years that Team USA and Team Europe will face off, following their exciting 14-14 draw in Spain. The Ryder Cup also took place a week later at Marco Simone.
Due to the pandemic, both competitions were held back-to-back in Europe last year. Now, the Solheim Cup returns to its usual even-numbered year schedule for the first time since 2002.
Who Are Solheim Cup Captains 2024?
Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen are leading their teams again. Pettersen keeps her trusted vice-captains: Dame Laura Davies, Caroline Martens, Mel Reid, and possibly Anna Nordqvist if she isn’t picked as a player due to her ranking. Lewis has Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome returning as vice-captains with Morgan Pressel and Angela Stanford stepping up too.
Team USA already knows three players: Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, and Ally Ewing have secured spots through points standings. Four more players will qualify based on LPGA Tour earnings along with two top-ranked players not yet qualified. Three final spots will be captain’s picks.
Fans might find this lineup intriguing given recent performances!
For Team Europe, the top two from their points list automatically qualify along with six top-ranked golfers not already exempt. Pettersen gets four captain’s picks to complete her team.
When Does Solheim Cup Qualification End?
The last qualifying event is the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews from August 22-25. After that, captains make their final picks before locking in both teams for the big event.
Currently on Team USA’s points list are Allisen Corpuz (4th), Megan Khang (5th), Lauren Coughlin (6th), Andrea Lee (7th). Rose Zhang (9th) and Angel Yin (32nd) are next highest in Rolex Rankings.
Lexi Thompson might get a captain’s pick due to her recent form despite planning retirement soon; Jennifer Kupcho could also be considered.
On Europe’s side: Charley Hull and Linn Grant lead LET points while Celine Boutier, Maja Stark, Leona Maguire join via world rankings along with Carlota Ciganda, Madelene Sagstrom & Georgia Hall. Esther Henseleit (54th), Nordqvist (66th), Albane Valenzuela (70th) & Alexandra Forsterling (72nd) may benefit from captain’s picks too.
