2026 CPKC Women’s Open: Crucial final audition for Americans vying for Solheim Cup captain spots
Andrea Lee, Lindy Duncan, Jenny Bae and Rose Zhang are looking to compete for the Red, White and Blue during the Sept. 11-13 matches in The Netherlands.
The American team for the upcoming Solheim Cup is nearly finalized, with the exception of three captain's picks to be made during the CPKC Women's Open in Canada. The tournament is currently underway in The Netherlands, and serves as the final qualifying event to determine the U.S. team for the high-stakes matches. Lauren Coughlin has already secured one of the six automatic spots with her victory at The Standard Portland Classic last week, followed by Nelly Korda, Angel Yin, Jennifer Kupcho, Yealimi Noh and Auston Kim.
Only one captain's pick remains to be decided between Allisen Corpuz and Andrea Lee. However, the final two selections will be based on the women's world rankings, ensuring that both Lee (currently ranked No. 59) and Lee (No. 61), Jenny Bae (No. 65) and Rose Zhang (No. 66) have a chance to secure a position on the team. Angela Stanford, the captain, will reveal her final two picks after the tournament concludes on Sunday.
In contrast, Europe had already completed its roster on August 3. The LPGA tournament will take place at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club in The Netherlands, with a $2,750,000 purse up for grabs, marking the final event before the U.S. Solheim Cup team is officially set.
