Suzann Pettersen named her four captain’s picks for the 2024 Solheim Cup on Sky Sports on Monday. Albane Valenzuela, Anna Nordqvist, Emily Kristine Pedersen and Georgia Hall will complete the 12-strong team. After the picks, it is also clear that the European team has only two changes compared to the 2023 Solheim Cup. Albane Valenzuela and Esther Henseleit are the two rookies in the team for the competition at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. Prior to the picks, eight players – including Charley Hull– had already qualified with their performances. Team Europe:

Playing vice-captain Anna Nordqvist and fifth consecutive appearance for Georgia Hall
Anna Nordqvist will take on the role of playing vice-captain, as she did in 2023. It will be Nordqvist’s ninth appearance – the most ever by a Swede. Emily Kristine Pedersen from Denmark will be playing a Solheim Cup for the fourth time overall, while it will be Georgia Hall’s fifth in a row.”I love being part of Team Europe, this will be my fifth Solheim Cup and it’s always great to be able to represent Europe,” said Hall.
Solheim Cup 2024
The Solheim Cup 2024 will take place from September 13 to 15, 2024 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, USA. The Europeans are aiming to claim the trophy for the fourth time in a row when they visit the States. The Europeans have won two of the last three editions and retained the Cup with a draw as defending champions in 2023.
The wait is over.
