Team Europe is set to try and reclaim the Solheim Cup on their home turf this week, as they welcome Team USA to the Bernardus Golf Course in the Netherlands. British and Irish audiences can enjoy every moment of the showdown on Sky Sports, which will broadcast the event live throughout the tournament. The European squad is led by three‑time major champion Anna Nordqvist, who has been appointed captain for this edition. She will be backed by seasoned players such as England's Charley Hull, who is making her eighth straight Solheim Cup appearance, and a group of newcomers that includes the promising Lottie Woad.
The team is eager to secure its first outright victory since the memorable 15‑13 win on foreign soil in 2021. After a dramatic 14‑14 tie that allowed Europe to retain the cup in Spain in 2023, the United States turned the tables with a 15.5‑12.5 triumph the following year.
Fans are advised to use the Chrome browser for the most reliable video‑player experience. The United States will be spearheaded by world‑number‑one Nelly Korda, a two‑time major winner this season, under the guidance of captain Angela Stanford.
Stanford hopes to guide the Americans to their first away win in the biennial competition since 2015, making the upcoming matches a true test of skill and nerve. Both camps are confident they can lift the trophy, and a passionate Dutch crowd is expected to provide a vibrant backdrop for what promises to be a tightly contested series.
