European Solheim Cup Team 2019 Finalised

Europe look to regain the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles this year after losing the last two editions.

The eight automatic qualifiers via the LET Solheim Cup points list are: Carlota Ciganda, Anne van Dam, Caroline Hedwall, Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Azahara Munoz, Caroline Masson and Anna Nordqvist.

Matthew then named her four wildcards as: Suzann Pettersen, Bronte Law, Celine Boutier and Jodi Ewart Shadoff.

Pettersen has played just twice since November 2017 after coming back from having a baby.

The Norwegian has played in eight Solheim Cups.
