US captain Angela Stanford locked in her 12-player US squad for next month's Solheim Cup 2026 on Sunday. The roster blends nine automatic qualifiers with three captain's picks ahead of the LPGA schedule's match-play showdown at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands.
LPGA Schedule's Last Stop Decides US Solheim Cup 2026 Team
Nelly Korda leads the seven players who earned spots through US Solheim Cup points. Angel Yin, Jennifer Kupcho, Yealimi Noh, Auston Kim, Lauren Coughlin, and Allisen Corpuz fill out that group. Andrea Lee and Alison Lee then clinched the final two automatic bids through the women's world golf rankings after the CPKC Women's Open. The tournament was the last qualifying event on the LPGA schedule.
Stanford also tapped Megan Khang, Rose Zhang, and Lindy Duncan as her wildcard selections, completing the US team lineup. Khang returns for a fifth straight Solheim Cup, while Zhang posted a perfect 4-0 record in 2024. Duncan, 35, is the only debutante on the roster.
Alison Lee's return adds another layer to this year's tournament. She will become the first mom to compete for Team USA since Cristie Kerr in 2017. Lee welcomed her son Levi in April 2025, posting three Top 5 finishes this season alone.
The US carries an 11-7-1 all-time series lead into the September event.
