Europe captain Anna Nordqvist has named Caroline Hedwall and Mel Reid as vice-captains for next year’s Solheim Cup in the Netherlands.
Hedwall has represented Europe as a player on five occasions, winning or retaining the Cup on all but one occasion.
“I was so thrilled when Anna invited me to be one of her Vice Captains in 2026 as the Solheim Cup has definitely provided many of the most important moments of my career,” Hedwall said.
“Anna and I have shared so many experiences, both on Tour and on European teams together, that I feel like we are very aligned in our thinking on how to help ensure the European team is able to perform at its best.
“I think, together with Mel, we really understand each other and are all very feisty competitors so I am sure we are going to work very well together for the good of our team.”
Take a look back at some of Anna Nordqvist’s best shots from her previous Solheim Cup appearances.
Meanwhile, Reid is a seven-time winner on the LET and LPGA, has represented Europe in the Solheim Cup on course four times (2011, 2015, 2017 and 2021) and as a Vice Captain twice in 2019 and 2024.
“If the Solheim Cup is happening, I want to be there for Europe in whatever way I can contribute,” Reid said.
“Some of my fondest core memories have been during a Solheim Cup week and in that European team room. I am honoured that Anna asked me to be one of her vice-captains.”
For Team USA, Angela Stanford has been named as Stacy Lewis’ successor and will captain Team USA for their Solheim Cup title defence in the Netherlands.
Angela Stanford has been named as the USA Captain for next year’s Solheim Cup. She takes over from Stacey Lewis and will be tasked with retaining the trophy against Europe in The Netherlands next September.
Stanford featured six times for Team USA and was part of three winning teams, with her last appearance seeing her contribute to a comeback victory on European soil in 2015.
The 47-year-old has announced Kirsty McPherson as her first vice-captain.
The former major champion has been an assistant captain for the last three editions of the biennial contest, including to Lewis for each of the previous two contests. Her backroom staff are as yet to be announced.
Europe will bid to regain the Solheim Cup from the United States at Bernardus Golf from September 11-13, 2026.
Team USA withstood a final-day fightback from Team Europe to claim a 15.5-12.5 victory and win the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017.
Highlights of the final day from the Solheim Cup as Team USA secured a 15.5-12.5 victory over Europe in Virginia.
Lewis’ side took a 10-6 advantage into the Sunday singles at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, leaving them requiring just 4.5 points for victory, with Megan Khang, Allisen Corpuz and Rose Zhang all posting big wins to move them closer to their target.
World number two Lilia Vu birdied the 18th hole to claim a half-point that secured Team USA the Solheim Cup in Virginia.
Charley Hull led from the front to thrash world No 1 Nelly Korda and Georgia Hall also claimed a big win to raise hopes of a historic European comeback, with seven matches left on the course either tied or in favour of Pettersen’s side at that stage.
Celine Boutier and Leona Maguire won their matches to move Europe closer to the 14 points required to win for the fourth time in a row, only for Lilia Vu to secure the half-point needed for victory when she won her final two holes to tie against rookie Albane Valenzuela.

Maple Leafs roster updates vs. Senators: Likely lines and big questions for Game 5
TORONTO — The Maple Leafs have returned home for Game 5 against the Senators with a chance to close the series out — something that’s been so difficult for this core to do.The Leafs are up 3-1 in the series and deserve credit for being in that place. But not putting the Senators to bed for good in Game 4 meant this stat reared its ugly head: The Leafs have now won just one elimination game in 12 opportunities, dating back to 2019. And so while the talk of demons around this team might still be premature in this series, it’s not as if we haven’t seen a version of this script before.AdvertisementCan the Leafs respond with a sense of urgency not just to start, but through every period in Game 5?

2026 NFL Draft: Which teams have most picks heading into loaded class? Patriots, Browns, Eagles lead way
Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft has finally completed, with a flurry of action between the 32 teams that put a majority in position for draft capital for what is expected to be a stacked 2026 class. This year's draft class was deeper in the later rounds, but with players getting paid more in college through NIL and the last of the six-year seniors through the COVID era, 2025 didn't feature the top-end talent as a typical draft year would have. That will all change in 2026, with the six-year seniors essentially coming to an end and the first wave of NIL players going through four years of college, the draft class is expected to be loaded with top-end talent and as deep as it's ever been. Plenty of teams stocked the cupboard with draft picks for this scenario, and this isn't counting […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Bears choose Colston Loveland over Tyler Warren, you should too
USATSI I am not going to do the bit about tight end finally being deep. I definitely won't promise we're going to have 12 good starting tight ends any time soon. But after the 2025 NFL Draft, the position is certainly deeper, particularly in Dynasty. Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren were both first-round picks and are both top-five tight ends in the rankings below. There was some debate before the draft between Warren and Loveland, but the majority of analysts favored Warren due to his productive 2024. There is still some debate between the two after the draft, but now a majority, including me, favor Loveland. Jacob Gibbs was on Loveland over Warren before the Draft and joined me on the Rookie Tight End Preview last week to explain why:If you are on the fence, I think it makes sense to […]
