Three-time major winner Anna Nordqvist from Sweden has been appointed as Team Europe's captain for the 2026 Solheim Cup, as announced by the Ladies European Tour on Monday. At 37, Nordqvist has previously served as a playing vice-captain in the last two editions of the biennial golf tournament, which sees Europe compete against the United States.

The upcoming 2026 Solheim Cup, marking her 10th appearance in the competition, will see Nordqvist leading the team, an honor she describes as significant to her career. Reflecting on her journey, Nordqvist stated: "The Solheim Cup has played such a huge part in my career ever since I made my debut in 2009 in Chicago."

The competition is scheduled to occur in September next year at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. With Team Europe under Nordqvist's leadership, the event will witness the U.S. team attempting to defend its current title.
