Our resident golf travel expert & Solheim Cup helper Breanne Loucks looks forward to the Solheim Cup in 2026
As we look ahead to the 2026 Solheim Cup, excitement is building for what promises to be a landmark event in women's golf. It will be set against the stunning backdrop of Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. This edition marks the first time the prestigious tournament will be held in the country. A fitting stage for a competition that continues to elevate the game.

Anna Nordqvist: A Captain with Passion and Experience
Leading Team Europe will be Sweden's Anna Nordqvist, a three-time major champion and seasoned Solheim Cup veteran. Anna is a warrior, she digs deep and never gives up. She is well respected and with nine appearances as a player. And with her recent experience as a vice-captain, Nordqvist brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of team dynamics. Her appointment as captain is a testament to her leadership qualities and her enduring commitment to the sport.
