Hull and Maguire in Europe’s Solheim Cup team
England’s Charley Hull and Ireland’s Leona Maguire are among the eight automatic qualifiers for Europe’s Solheim Cup team to face the United States next month.
Hull and Maguire are joined by France’s Celine Boutier, Carlota Ciganda of Spain, Germany’s Esther Henseleit and Swedish trio Maja Stark, Linn Grant and Madelene Sagstrom.
Captain Suzann Pettersen will name her four wildcard picks to make up the 12-strong team on Monday, 26 August at 16:00 BST.
England’s Georgia Hall, who has competed in the past four Solheim Cups, is among those waiting to hear if she will make the team.
US captain Stacy Lewis is scheduled to announce her team on Tuesday.
Europe go into the 19th staging of the event as the holders, having retained the title with a 14-14 draw in Spain last year after winning the previous two editions.
The 2024 Solheim Cup will be held from 13-15 September at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. The US lead the series 10-7 with one draw.
We have so much experience on the team’
Hull, who made her debut in 2013, will make her seventh appearance after finishing top of the Ladies European Tour (LET) Solheim Cup points list. The 27-year-old, ranked 10th in the world, has won 13½ points from her 22 matches.
By contrast, Henseleit, who was second on the points list, will be making her debut in the biennial event.
The 25-year-old, who jumped into her qualifying spot by finishing runner-up at last week’s Scottish Open, said: “It’s been a dream of mine to play in the Solheim Cup since I was a little girl. I can’t wait to play in European colours.”
Captain Pettersen added: “We have so much experience on the team but it’s also great to have Esther making her Solheim Cup debut.”
The other six automatic qualifiers are in the team via their world golf ranking.
