"I was so happy when Anna invited me to become one of her vice-captains in 2026 since the Solheim Cup has definitely given me many of the most important moments in my career. Anna and I have shared so many experiences, both on the tour and in European teams together. I feel that we are very coordinated in our thoughts on how we can contribute to ensuring that the European team can perform at its best." she says in a press release.
