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

With both rosters now set, it’s just about time for the 2023 Solheim Cup.

After European captain Suzann Pettersen announced her four captain’s picks last week, U.S. captain Stacy Lewis made her three selections on Monday to complete her 12-player team bound for Finca Cortesin in Andalucia, Spain, Sept. 22-24. Team USA is comprised of the top seven players in the U.S. Solheim Cup standings, the top two players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking (not already eligible) and three 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 Europeans at the 2023 Solheim Cup.
