Meet the 12 players representing Team Europe at the 2023 Solheim Cup in Spain

In just a month’s time the U.S. and Europe will square off at the 2023 Solheim Cup, and one of the two squads has been set.

European captain Suzann Pettersen announced her four captain’s picks on Tuesday, completing the 12-player team bound for Finca Cortesin in Andalucia, Spain, Sept. 22-24. Team Europe is comprised of the top-two players in the Europe Solheim Cup standings, the top-six players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking (not already eligible) and four captain’s picks.

The Americans have been victorious 10 times, most recently in 2017 at Des Moines Golf and Country Club in Iowa, while the Europeans are looking for a third consecutive win and their eighth overall.

Meet the 12 players who will take on the U.S. at the 2023 Solheim Cup.
