Solheim Cup Team Europe 2026: Anna Norqvist Names Wildcard Picks To Complete Line-Up

Anna Nordqvist's 2026 European Solheim Cup team is now complete after the Swede named Leona Maguire, Julia Lopez Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud and Mimi Rhodes as her captain's picks.

They will join a strong and experienced line-up at The Netherlands' Bernardus Golf headlined by the likes of Charley Hull, Lottie Woad and AIG Women's Open runner-up Esther Henseleit.

Hull and Henseleit qualified from the LET Solheim Cup Points list, with Woad, Maja Stark, Celine Boutier, Carlota Ciganda, Linn Grant and Nanna Koerstz Madsen clinching their spots via the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

In total, Nordqvist's side features four rookies, with Woad, Lopez Ramirez, Nadaud and Rhodes all set to make their debuts next month.

Anna Nordqvist's Solheim Cup captain's picks:

Leona Maguire

Maguire will play in her fourth consecutive Solheim Cup and has become a stalwart for Europe after going unbeaten in her 2021 debut at Inverness Club.

Julia Lopez Ramirez

The former World No.1 amateur will make her Solheim Cup debut, as she becomes the second Spaniard on the team for Bernardus Golf. Lopez Ramirez adds length to the Europeans, as she currently ranks 2nd in Driving Distance on the LPGA Tour.

Nastasia Nadaud

The LPGA rookie joins Celine Boutier as the second Frenchwoman on Nordqvist's side. Nadaud, at just 21, adds youth to the team as another European rookie.

Mimi Rhodes

The Englishwoman makes her Solheim Cup debut after a blistering start to her professional career with three Ladies European Tour victories in 2025. Rhodes has good team form, having secured the crucial half point for GB&I at Sunningdale in the 2024 Curtis Cup.
