Lexi Thompson will join the U.S. team for the 2024 Solheim Cup, set to take place from September 13 to 15 in Virginia. Thompson, who will retire from the LPGA Tour at the end of this season, was selected by team captain Stacy Lewis for this prestigious event.

Thompson made her Solheim Cup debut at 18 in 2013. This year’s tournament will be her seventh consecutive appearance and mark the conclusion of her competitive playing career. Stacy Lewis highlighted Thompson’s extensive experience and skill, expressing confidence in her ability to significantly impact the team.

The U.S. team, led by Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu, features 12 players. They are eager to bounce back from their previous performance, where they fell short against the European team. The current Solheim Cup record for the U.S. stands at 10 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses, with recent tournaments ending in losses or ties against Europe.

Under the leadership of Captain Suzann Pettersen, the European team has assembled a formidable lineup, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive event against the U.S. team.
