Jennifer Kupcho, Sarah Schmelzel, Lexi Thompson complete 2024 U.S. Solheim Cup team | LPGA

GAINESVILLE, Va. (August 27, 2024) – U.S. Solheim Cup Team Captain Stacy Lewis has selected Jennifer Kupcho, Sarah Schmelzel and Lexi Thompson as captains for the 2024 Solheim Cup, which will be held September 13-15 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.

Kupcho, Schmelzel and Thompson join nine automatic qualifiers for Team USA who were named following the AIG Women's Open competition. Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, Lauren Coughlin, Ally Ewing, Allisen Corpuz, Megan Khang and Andrea Lee qualified through the U.S. Solheim Cup Team Rankings, while Rose Zhang and Alison Lee qualified through the Rolex Women's World Rankings.

Thompson will represent the United States for the seventh consecutive time, joining 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023. She is tied for third for the most times she has competed for the United States, joining Paula Creamer, Rosie Jones and Morgan Pressel, behind only Cristie Kerr and Juli Inkster with nine appearances and Beth Daniel and Meg Mallon with eight.

“Lexi was probably the easiest choice out of those three, with her experience. I know what Lexi can do in a Solheim Cup and that certainly helped her get a pick,” Lewis said. “She’s someone who’s going to help the team a lot, both on and off the golf course. With her experience, everyone on the team is going to be watching what she does and trying to learn from her. I’m really happy to have Lexi back.”

“It means a lot to me. To be able to represent my country is the greatest honor you can have,” Thompson said of being selected to the U.S. Solheim Cup team. “To be here again this year, especially in the United States, is a dream come true. To be able to play alongside my teammates and under the guidance of my captains and assistant captains, it’s all I could ask for.”

Kupcho will wear the red, white and blue for the third time, while Schmelzel will join Lauren Coughlin as a rookie on the U.S. Solheim Cup team.

“I think Jennifer is probably the perfect fit for this golf course. I love the height and the straightness with which she hits the ball. You can see that in the amount of strokes she gains off the tee and it’s always her ball striking that gets her going,” Lewis said. “Sarah is just super solid and doesn’t get discouraged. She’s a player that can play both formats with a lot of different people. She’s someone we’ve been following for a long time so we’re excited for her to play her first Solheim Cup and to play in Virginia.”

“I’m really happy to be back with Team USA, to be back in the team spirit,” Kupcho said. “I’m really happy to be back on American soil and just representing the United States in my country is really special to me. I’m really, really happy to be doing this for the third time and playing under Stacy, who’s a great captain.”

“It’s obviously something I’ve been thinking about since I started getting invited to the Solheim meetings last year,” Schmelzel said. “It’s something that kind of stays in the back of your mind, and it’s always there, in the back of your mind. It’s always something you’re working toward, so to finally get to that moment and realize that it had come to fruition, it was really surreal.”

Players began earning points toward the U.S. Solheim Cup standings at the 2023 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. Points were awarded to the top 40 finishers at each ranking event, with double points awarded at all five major championships. During the Solheim Cup year, all point values ​​increased by 50 percent. The full point breakdown is available at www.solheimcupusa.com/usa-points-standings/how-to-qualify.

The Solheim Cup, held every two years, is the most prestigious international team event in women's professional golf. In 2022, Team Europe retained the cup after a 14-14 tie with Team USA at Finca Cortesin in Spain. Team USA leads Team Europe, 10-7-1, all-time in Solheim Cup competition.
