Maguire gets Solheim Cup wildcard pick
Leona Maguire will compete in her fourth Solheim Cup after Team Europe captain Anna Nordqvist named the Cavan golfer as one of her four wildcard picks for the event at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands from 11-13 September.
European Solheim Cup captain Anna Nordqvist has selected Leona Maguire for her fourth appearance at the prestigious event, set to take place at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands from September 11-13. Maguire, a Cavan golfer, made her Solheim Cup debut in 2021 and has since amassed impressive statistics, winning eight matches, halving one, and losing only three across her 12 appearances in the competition.
Despite struggling with form this season and missing the cut at the Women's AIG Open, Nordqvist likely considered Maguire's track record when making her wildcard picks. The European team comprises the top two players on the LET Solheim Cup points list, along with six players chosen based on their rankings in the Rolex Women's World Golf rankings.
Other European representatives include Charlie Hull, Esther Henseleit, Lottie Woad, Maja Stark, Celine Boutier, Carlota Ciganda, Linn Grant, and Nanna Koerstz Madsen. Nordqvist's remaining wildcard selections are Julia Lopez Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud, and Mimi Rhodes.
