Captain Angela Stanford has completed her Team USA line-up for the 2026 Solheim Cup by picking Megan Khang, Rose Zhang and Lindy Duncan as her three wildcards.
Stanford made her three picks live on Golf Channel to add to her nine qualifiers to complete the 12-player team heading to Europe next month.
There was no surprise to see Khang picked to appear in her fifth straight Solheim Cup, with Zhang appearing in her third in a row after leading Team USA with a brilliant four points from four matches last time out in 2024.
Duncan will be making her Solheim Cup debut at age 35, with the World No.63 next in line in the world rankings behind Monday's final two qualifiers.
Andrea Lee and Alison Lee grabbed those last two qualifying spots after the weekend's CPKC Women’s Open thanks to their positions in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
The other seven qualifiers to come from the US Solheim Cup standings are Nelly Korda, Angel Yin, Jennifer Kupcho, Yealimi Noh, Auston Kim, Lauren Coughlin and Allisen Corpuz.
"I’m so proud and excited for this group," said Stanford. "Now, we are ready to get to the Netherlands and represent the Red, White & Blue."
Team USA will take on Anna Nordqvist's Team Europe at Bernardus Golf Club in the Netherlands on between September 11-13.

Team Europe already named
Nordqvist had four wildcards to pick for her European team looking to win back the Solheim Cup on home soil - with the Swede naming them after the AIG Women's Open.
Leona Maguire, Julia Lopez Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud and Mimi Rhodes got the nod as captain's picks to join a strong European side led by Charley Hull.
Lottie Woad and AIG Women's Open runner-up Esther Henseleit also qualified alongside Maja Stark, Celine Boutier, Carlota Ciganda, Linn Grant and Nanna Koerstz Madsen.
Europe retained the Solheim Cup in 2023 after a thrilling 14-14 tie at Finca Cortesin in Spain, before the USA gained swift revenge a year later with a 15.2-12.2 success at Robert Trent Jones GC.
