Who is playing in the Solheim Cup 2024? Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, Suzann Pettersen & more

One year after Europe held onto the Solheim Cup following a pulsating tie in Spain, the United States will have the chance to exact revenge as the two teams meet again for the 2024 edition of the tournament.

Held in an abridged form of its two-year cycle to again realign the event into alternative years away from the Ryder Cup, the celebrated team event for players on either side of the Atlantic will take place at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville this September.

Having shared the spoils last time, team captains Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen will be determined to get one over their rivals as they take the course again.

But the players that make up the field look set to be a who’s who of the LPGA Tour and beyond, with some of the biggest names in golf set to tee off in search of the iconic Waterford Crystal prize.

So, who will take part in the Solheim Cup 2024? Read on for GOAL’s guide to all the stars who will line up in Virginia for the late summer showdown.

Who is playing in the Solheim Cup 2024?

  • Nelly KordaGetty Images

    Nelly Korda (Team USA)

    The two-time major winner is arguably the best player in golf right now after she secured the 2024 Chevron Championship. As one of the first names confirmed for the event, she will feel like she has a point to prove. However, Korda could only muster two points in Spain and lost her day three singles game to Carlota Ciganda.

    Charley Hull (Team Europe)

    The Englishwoman is one of the great almost-players when it comes to majors, but she will head to the Solheim Cup as the leader from the LET Solheim Cup standings as one of two automatic qualifiers. Hall will compete in her seventh edition of the tournament after scoring just one point last year with a fairly anonymous performance.

  • Lilia VuGetty Images

    Lilia Vu (Team USA)

    Another two-time major winner, Vu enjoyed a terrific 2023 when she claimed both the Women’s British Open and the Chevron Championship. Her 4 & 3 win over Madelene Sagstrom on day three last year was one of the highlights for Team USA, though she has only managed to claim the Meijer LPGA Classic in 2024.

  • Esther HenseleitGetty Images

    Esther Henseleit (Team Europe)

    Fresh from silver medal success at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the German will hope to drive Team Europe to success on her maiden appearance in the Solheim Cup. Rewarded alongside Hall for her top-two finish in the LET Solheim Cup standings, Henseleit will be one of the key players to watch as she looks to show she can handle the team pressure.

  • Ally EwingGetty Images

    Ally Ewing (Team USA)

    With three career-best finishes in majors this year, Ewing might not be the biggest name on the card, but looks to be finding form at exactly the right moment to impress for Team USA. It will be two years since her last LPGA Tour win when the Solheim Cup rolls around, which could either help or hinder her chances.

  • Celine BoutierGetty Images

    Celine Boutier (Team Europe)

    The French star picked up her first career major when she won the 2023 Evian Championship and is now competing in her fourth consecutive Solheim Cup. She hopes to dramatically improve upon her performance at last year's edition when she scored no points, a far cry from her debut in 2019, when she swept all her matches.

  • Carlota CigandaGetty Images

    Carlota Ciganda (Team Europe)

    The Spaniard has yet to taste major success but has proven herself as a reliable team player in the Solheim Cup over the years. She had a three-point haul on debut in 2013, and a crucial four-point success story in 2023 to help Team Europe cling to the cup. Ciganda did fail to make the cut at two majors this year, however, which suggests she will need to be at her best.

  • Maja StarkGetty Images

    Maja Stark (Team Europe)

    The Swede came thrillingly close to success at this year's Chevron Championship, finishing second behind Korda in a taut battle. Now, in her sophomore Solheim Cup appearance, she will get the chance to aim for a slice of revenge, too. Two and a half points on debut last year was a promising start, and she'll be keen to play a key role again this time around.

  • Linn GrantGetty Images

    Linn Grant (Team Europe)

    Another sophomore star for this year's tournament, Grant will hope she can match the three points she took on debut and be an integral part of Europe's bid to retain the trophy. Two top-ten finishes in this year's majors have helped burnish her stock, though just one tour win in the last year - the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed - means she's also going to need to dig deep.

  • Madelene SagstromGetty Images

    Madelene Sagstrom (Team Europe)

    The 2023 Women's British Open runner-up is another Solheim Cup veteran and will make her fourth appearance. However, she has not been the most vital cog on any occasion for Team Europe, mustering just three and a half points in three prior tournaments. Her form has earned her qualification elsewhere, but she will have to prove her worth this time around.

  • Leona MaguireGetty Images

    Leona Maguire (Team Europe)

    Two wins on the LPGA Tour has the Irish star in solo company for female golfers from her home country - and she'll be back for a third Solheim Cup appearance, where she has made a massive impact on both prior editions. With four and a half points in 2021, and three in 2023, Maguire looks set to be a cornerstone of the visitors once again.

  • Stacy LewisGetty Images

    Stacy Lewis (Team USA)

    The two-time major winner was Team USA’s non-playing captain in 2023, after four appearances as a player that left quite a bit to be desired. Lewis’ record without her club in hand proved far more successful in Spain, however, and she is confident she can go all the way with her squad this time around.

  • Suzann PettersenGetty Images

    Suzann Pettersen (Team Europe)

    One of the most formidable Solheim Cup players in history, Pettersen played in nine Solheim Cups over the years and was a four-time winner. However, her team perhaps were not up to their best on home turf last year, and she will want to underline that their retention of the trophy was no fluke when they head to America.
