Suzann Pettersen names four European Solheim Cup wildcards

We already knew the first eight players that would represent Europe at the Solheim Cup.

Six secured their place in next month’s dust-up via the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings with Celine Boutier leading the way.

Maja Stark, Linn Grant, Leona Maguire, Carlota Ciganda and Madelene Sagström joined the Frenchwoman.

Meanwhile, Charley Hull and debutant Esther Henseleit qualified from the LET Solheim Cup Points List.

But captain Suzann Pettersen has now confirmed her 12-person squad for the trip to Virginia after naming four wildcards.

• 8 players secure European Solheim Cup spots

• 9 players secure US Solheim Cup spots

Georgia Hall, Anna Nordqvist, Emily Kristine Pedersen and Albane Valenzuela have been awarded places in the European side.

Hall is set to make her fifth appearance in the event, although a first as a wildcard pick. The 28-year-old has competed in the last four consecutive editions.

Nordqvist, meanwhile, has contested the last eight Solheim Cups but will make her ninth start as a playing vice-captain.

Pedersen, who made only the second hole-in-one in Solheim Cup history last year, will also wear blue and gold. The Dane was absent in 2019 but teed it up in 2017 and 2019.

Finally, Valenzuela will join Henseleit as one of two rookies in the side.

The 2024 Solheim Cup will take place at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club from September 13-15.
