Anna Nordqvist Named Team Europe Captain for 2026 Solheim Cup

The Swedish major winner and Solheim Cup veteran will lead the team in the Netherlands as they aim to reclaim the trophy from the United States.

Anna Nordqvist, a three-time major champion, has been appointed captain of Team Europe for the 2026 Solheim Cup, set to take place at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands from September 11-13, 2026.
Nordqvist brings extensive experience to the role, having competed in nine Solheim Cups since 2009 and serving as a playing vice-captain in both 2023 and 2024.
The 37-year-old Swede has been part of five winning European teams and holds a record of 17 wins, 15 losses, and 3 ties in her Solheim Cup career.
Nordqvist succeeds Suzann Pettersen, whose 2024 captaincy faced criticism after Europe lost to the United States 15.5-12.5, marking the Americans' first victory since 2017.
Fans and players alike have expressed strong support for Nordqvist's appointment, with many confident in her leadership and ability to guide Europe to success in 2026.
