- The Solheim Cup's 20th edition runs September 11-13 at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, with Team Europe hosting defending champions Team USA and 28 points up for grabs across five sessions.
- Team USA, captained by Angela Stanford, are chasing their first away win since 2015, two years after their 15.5-12.5 victory in Virginia, and need 14 points to retain the trophy.
- Anna Nordqvist captains Team Europe in a bid to regain the cup, with each of the last three Solheim Cups held on European soil decided by a point or less.
- Team Europe's lineup includes automatic qualifiers Charley Hull, Esther Henseleit, Lottie Woad, Maja Stark, Celine Boutier, Carlota Ciganda, Linn Grant, and Nanna Koerstz Madsen, plus captain's picks Leona Maguire, Julia Lopez Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud, and Mimi Rhodes.
- Team USA's roster features Nelly Korda, Angel Yin, Jennifer Kupcho, Yealimi Noh, Auston Kim, Lauren Coughlin, Allisen Corpuz, Alison Lee, Andrea Lee, Lindy Duncan, Megan Khang, and Rose Zhang.
- Sky Sports Golf will deliver at least 12 hours of live coverage daily from Friday through Sunday, with the Thursday opening ceremony at 4:30pm revealing the first-day pairings.
Why it matters: Each of the last three Solheim Cups on European soil came down to a point or less, and Team USA have not won abroad since 2015 — so the 20th edition at Bernardus Golf is shaped by genuine competitive parity rather than form, with first-day pairings revealed only at Thursday's opening ceremony.
