Captain of Europe Anna Nordqvist appointed Caroline Hedwall and Mel Reid as vice-captains of the Solheim Cup next year in the Netherlands.
Hedwall represented Europe as a five -time player, winning or keeping the Cup on all occasions except one.
“I was so delighted when Anna invited me to be one of her vice capitaine in 2026, because the Solheim Cup certainly provided many of the most important moments in my career,” said Hedwall.
“Anna and I have shared so many experiences, both on tour and in European teams together, that I have the impression that we are very aligned in our reflection on how to help ensure that the European team is able to perform at its best.
“I think that, with Mel, we really understand each other and are all very fiery competitors, so I’m sure we are going to work very well for the good of our team.”
Meanwhile, Reid is a winner of seven times on the Let and LPGA, represented Europe at the Solheim Cup four times (2011, 2015, 2017 and 2021) and as vice-captain twice in 2019 and 2024.
“If the Solheim Cup occurs, I want to be there for Europe in a way I can contribute,” said Reid.
“Some of my most beautiful basic memories were for a week of the Solheim Cup and in this European team room. I am honored that Anna asked me to be one of her vice-Captains.”
