The teams are in and the talk will soon be over – so it’s time to meet the players.
Here’s how Team USA and Team Europe line-up for the 2023 Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin in Spain.
Both teams look super strong, with captains Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen recently announcing their wildcard picks to go with the automatic qualifiers.
Pettersen first went with Madelene Sagstrom, Gemma Dryburgh, Caroline Hedwall and Emily Pedersen to round out her Europeans, before Lewis completed her Team USA line-up with Andrea Lee, Angel Yin, Ally Ewing and Cheyenne Knight.
Europe have won the last two Solheim Cups at Scotland’s Gleneagles in 2019 and away in Ohio at Inverness Club last time out.
Check out the team who will be vying for the famous trophy later this month in Spain…
