Europe defeats United States to claim the 2026 Solheim Cup

Team Europe secured the 2026 Solheim Cup with a 15-13 victory over the United States at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. Carlota Ciganda clinched the deciding point by winning her match against Jennifer Kupcho 4 and 2. The event entered the final day tied at 8-8, but Europe secured six of the first eight singles matches to pull ahead. Alison Lee provided a notable performance for the United States, erasing a four-hole deficit to defeat Esther Henseleit 1 up. This win marks a continuation of European dominance on home soil, while the United States must wait until 2030 for their next attempt to win a Solheim Cup in Europe. The next iteration of the tournament is scheduled for September 4-10, 2028, at Valhalla Golf Club.
