Full Solheim Cup Week Schedule at Bernardus Golf
Gates open four days before the first match. The week starts with the PING Junior Solheim Cup, played on the same course as the main event for the first time, then moves to team practice rounds, press conferences and the opening ceremony.
| Date | On the course | Time (CEST) |
|---|---|---|
| Mon 7 Sep | Junior Solheim Cup foursomes and fourball | 07:30 and 13:15 |
| Tue 8 Sep | Junior singles, then junior closing ceremony | 07:20 and 14:00 |
| Wed 9 Sep | Team practice rounds, then press conferences | 09:00 and 13:00 |
| Thu 10 Sep | Team practice rounds, All Star Challenge, then opening ceremony | 09:00, 14:00 and 17:00 |
| Fri 11 Sep | Foursomes, then fourball | 07:40 and 13:05 |

Thursday also carries the All Star Challenge at 14:00, a three hole exhibition over holes 1, 6 and 18 with Suzann Pettersen and a group of guests from other sports. The organisers list the opening ceremony at 17:00 and note it could move to 17:30, so check on the day if you are travelling for it.
What Time Does the Solheim Cup Start in the US?
The first match tees off at 1:40 AM ET on Friday 11 September, and Golf Channel coverage starts at 1:30 AM ET.
The Netherlands is six hours ahead of Eastern Time and nine ahead of Pacific, so Friday and Saturday play out overnight in the United States. On the west coast, Friday foursomes actually begin on Thursday evening at 10:40 PM.
Sunday is far friendlier. Singles start at 5:10 AM ET and the last match goes out at 7:22 AM ET, so the deciding session runs across a normal Sunday morning.
2026 Solheim Cup Pairings Sheet: When Each Line Up Lands
Pairings are never published in advance. Each captain submits her line up shortly before the session, which is why the printable sheet is left blank.
| Session | Shape | Pairings announced |
|---|---|---|
| Friday foursomes | 4 matches, 8 players a side | Thursday, at the opening ceremony |
| Friday fourball | 4 matches, 8 players a side | Friday, during the morning session |
| Saturday foursomes | 4 matches, 8 players a side | Friday evening |
| Saturday fourball | 4 matches, 8 players a side | Saturday, during the morning session |
| Sunday singles | 12 matches, all 24 players | Saturday evening |
Captains pick eight of their 12 for each session on Friday and Saturday, so four players sit out every time. Sunday is different: all 12 play. Both captains hand in their singles order without seeing the other, and the 12 matches are revealed together on Saturday evening.
How the Solheim Cup Scoring Works
Europe needs 14.5 points to win the 2026 Solheim Cup. The United States needs only 14, because the Americans won in 2024 and a 14 to 14 tie leaves the trophy with the holder.
That gap of half a point is the most misunderstood part of the event. Each of the 28 matches is worth one point. A win takes the full point, a match level after 18 holes is halved and each side takes half. There is no play off.
Europe knows how that feels from the other side. The 2023 match at Finca Cortesin finished 14 to 14 and Europe kept the Cup as holder. Matches also end early: once a side is more holes up than there are holes left, the match is over, which is why results read as 4 and 3 or 2 and 1.
Foursomes
Foursomes is alternate shot. Two players share one ball and hit it in turn, one starting the odd numbered holes and her partner the even numbered ones. It is the hardest format in team golf, because a poor shot is handed straight to a partner. Four matches are played on Friday morning and four on Saturday morning.
Fourball
Fourball is better ball. All four players play their own ball and each pair counts its lower score on the hole. Scoring runs much lower than foursomes and it lets an aggressive player attack pins while her partner covers the hole. Four matches are played on Friday afternoon and four on Saturday afternoon.
Singles
Sunday is 12 singles matches, one player against one, with every member of both teams involved. Twelve of the 28 points are settled in that one session, which is why a two or three point deficit is recoverable and why the Solheim Cup so often turns on the final day.
The 2026 European and United States Teams
Both teams were locked in before September. Europe finalised on 3 August, after the AIG Women’s Open closed its qualifying window. The United States completed its 12 on 24 August, once the CPKC Women’s Open decided the points list. Records below are career Solheim Cup points and matches going into this week.
Team Europe
Captain: Anna Nordqvist. Vice captains: Caroline Hedwall, Mel Reid and Anne van Dam.
| Player | Country | Route in | Past Cups | Career points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charley Hull | England | LET points list | 7 | 16.5 from 27 |
| Esther Henseleit | Germany | LET points list | 1 | 1.5 from 3 |
| Lottie Woad | England | Rolex Rankings | Rookie | Debut |
| Maja Stark | Sweden | Rolex Rankings | 2 | 4 from 8 |
| Linn Grant | Sweden | Rolex Rankings | 2 | 3 from 9 |
| Celine Boutier | France | Rolex Rankings | 4 | 7.5 from 14 |
| Carlota Ciganda | Spain | Rolex Rankings | 7 | 12.5 from 24 |
| Nanna Koerstz Madsen | Denmark | Rolex Rankings | 1 | 1.5 from 3 |
| Leona Maguire | Ireland | Captain’s pick | 3 | 8.5 from 12 |
| Julia Lopez Ramirez | Spain | Captain’s pick | Rookie | Debut |
| Nastasia Nadaud | France | Captain’s pick | Rookie | Debut |
| Mimi Rhodes | England | Captain’s pick | Rookie | Debut |
Europe’s eight automatic places went to the top two on the LET Solheim Cup points list, Charley Hull and Esther Henseleit, plus the six highest ranked available players in the Rolex Rankings. Nordqvist then spent three of her four picks on debutants: Julia Lopez Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud and Mimi Rhodes. With Lottie Woad that gives Europe four rookies. At the other end, Hull and Carlota Ciganda are each making an eighth appearance, and Hull carries more Solheim Cup points than any player in either team room.
Team United States
Captain: Angela Stanford, a six time Solheim Cup player and an assistant captain in the 2024 win. Assistant captains: Kristy McPherson, Paula Creamer and Brittany Lang.
| Player | Route in | Past Cups | Career points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nelly Korda | Solheim Cup points list | 4 | 10.5 from 16 |
| Angel Yin | Solheim Cup points list | 3 | 5.5 from 9 |
| Jennifer Kupcho | Solheim Cup points list | 3 | 4 from 10 |
| Yealimi Noh | Solheim Cup points list | 1 | 2 from 3 |
| Auston Kim | Solheim Cup points list | Rookie | Debut |
| Lauren Coughlin | Solheim Cup points list | 1 | 3.5 from 4 |
| Allisen Corpuz | Solheim Cup points list | 2 | 5.5 from 8 |
| Andrea Lee | Rolex Rankings | 2 | 4 from 7 |
| Alison Lee | Rolex Rankings | 2 | 2 from 7 |
| Megan Khang | Captain’s pick | 4 | 8.5 from 13 |
| Rose Zhang | Captain’s pick | 2 | 4.5 from 7 |
| Lindy Duncan | Captain’s pick | Rookie | Debut |
Eight of these 12 played in the 2024 win, so Stanford keeps a settled core. Auston Kim and Lindy Duncan are the only American rookies, and at 35 Duncan is the oldest United States debutant since Nancy Scranton in 2000. Lauren Coughlin is the only unbeaten player on either team after going 3 wins and a half in four matches on debut. Rose Zhang won all four of her matches in 2024, becoming the third American to take four points in one Solheim Cup, and none of those matches reached the 17th hole.

Bernardus Golf: The 2026 Venue
Bernardus Golf sits in Cromvoirt, a village in North Brabant just outside ‘s-Hertogenbosch and about half an hour north of Eindhoven. Kyle Phillips designed it and it opened in 2018, making it one of the youngest courses to host the Solheim Cup. It is a par 72 measuring up to 7,430 yards from the back tees, and it earned this week by hosting the Dutch national open three years running from 2021 to 2023.
The setup rewards precision rather than length. Firm greens, sculpted bunkering and water in play on the short 6th mean pin position matters more than driving distance, and the closing holes can swing a match late. This is the 10th Solheim Cup staged in Europe and the first in the Netherlands.
If you are going, note there is no parking at the course. Den Bosch station is the hub, with a shuttle bus of about 12 km taking 20 minutes and a rental bike route of about 9 km taking 30 minutes, both included in the ticket price.
