Team Europe aim to reclaim the Solheim Cup on home soil when they host Team USA in the Netherlands this week, exclusively live in the UK and Ireland on Sky Sports.
Three-time major champion Anna Nordqvist captains a strong European team at Bernardus Golf, with England’s Charley Hull making her eighth consecutive Solheim Cup appearance and Lottie Woad among the rookies in action.
The hosts are looking to earn their first outright victory since their famous 15-13 away success in 2021, having scrambled a dramatic 14-14 tie to retain in Spain in 2023 before Team USA secured a 15.5-12.5 victory the following year.
