Meet the 12 players representing Team USA at the 2024 Solheim Cup in Virginia, including captain’s pick Lexi Thompson and Nelly Korda
The picks are in and U.S. captain Stacy Lewis will lead a familiar team next month in Virginia with nine returning players from last year’s squad. For her three picks, Lewis selected two experienced players in Lexi Thompson and Jennifer Kupcho, along with a 30-year-old rookie in Sarah Schmelzel.
World No. 1 Nelly Korda and No. 2 Lilia Vu, fresh off contending at last week’s AIG Women’s British Open, headline the team of 12 vying to win for the first time since 2017. The 2024 Solheim Cup will be held Sept. 13-15 in Gainesville, Virginia, at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, host of three previous Presidents Cups.
