Suzann Pettersen is at the helm and will have four Vice-Captains alongside her with Caroline Martens, Dame Laura Davies, Anna Nordqvist and Mel Reid all confirmed to be part of the European backroom staff.
Team Europe will be comprised of the top two players from the LET Solheim Cup standings, six players from the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings and four captain’s picks.
