The U.S. Solheim Cup team is nearly complete. Final qualifying the Americans wrapped up after this week's CPKC Women's Open and the nine faces that are now in are familiar ones.
Allisen Corpoz claimed the final spot on the U.S. Solheim Cup points list, and the only real question that remained going into the weekend was whether someone would overtake Alison Lee for the final spot off the Rolex Rankings.
Lee, No. 59, finished T-13 in Canada, however, and didn't give much room for the chasers. Lindy Duncan, who was the closest coming in at No. 61, finished T-51 at the CPKC. She'll need a pick to make her first team.
The top seven players on the Solheim Cup points listed automatically qualified along with the top two players in the Rolex Rankings not
otherwise qualified. Only one Solheim rookie – Auston Kim – took one of the nine qualifying spots.
U.S. captain Angela Stanford will announce her three picks on Monday.
Here's a closer look at the nine automatic qualifiers:
Nelly Korda
Age: 28
World Ranking: 1
Solheim Cup appearances: 4 (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024)
Solheim Cup record: 10-5-1
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
A four-time winner on tour this season, including two major titles, Korda comes into this year's Cup with a world of confidence. Two years ago, Korda embraced more of a leadership role and was immersed in the team atmosphere. The world No. 1 has found a strong foursomes partner in Allisen Corpuz. They are 4-0. Korda will go to Bernardus blind after skipping the team's practice session in July.
Angel Yin
Age: 27
World Ranking: 24
Solheim Cup appearances: 3 (2017, 2019, 2023)
Solheim Cup record: 5-3-1
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
One of the best putters on Team USA, Stanford would like to rely heavily on Yin, but she remains a big question mark after falling ill at the KPMG Women's PGA in late June and essentially disappearing off the tour. Yin is expected to play next week in Boston.
Jennifer Kupcho
Age: 29
World Ranking: 31
Solheim Cup appearances: 3 (2021, 2023, 2024)
Solheim Cup record: 3-5-2
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
Kupcho has had a bit of a mixed bag of late. Whlie she hasn't contended late this season, she does have eight top-20 finishes dating back to April. She finished on a high note in Canada: T-11.
Yealimi Noh
Age: 25
World Ranking: 35
Solheim Cup appearances: 1 (2021)
Solheim Cup record: 2-1-0
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
Noh won her first title in early 2025 but struggled mightily for much of 2026 until - she nearly won the AIG Women's British Open. Noh found something that week, ultimately missing out on a playoff by one shot to finish solo third. She also represented the U.S. at the International Crown last fall.
Auston Kim
Age: 26
World Ranking: 23
Solheim Cup appearances: Rookie
Solheim Cup record: N/A
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
The only rookie to automatically qualify, Kim played collegiate golf at Vanderbilt before qualifying her way to the LPGA through the Epson Tour. Kim had back-to-back top-3 finishes early in 2026 and then solidified her spot with a pair of top 10s at the majors: fifth at the KPMG Women's PGA and ninth at the Amundi Evian.
Lauren Coughlin
Age: 33
World Ranking: 17
Solheim Cup appearances: 1 (2024)
Solheim Cup record: 3-0-1
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
Coughlin played team golf at Virginia but hadn't represented her country until the 2024 Solheim. She took the role seriously and came up big for the Americans, going undefeated. Coughlin was 3-0 in team golf with three different partners that week. She won her third LPGA title earlier this spring at the Aramco Championship.
Allisen Corpuz
Age: 28
World Ranking: 43
Solheim Cup appearances: 2 (2023, 2024)
Solheim Cup record: 5-2-1
Qualified via: Solheim Cup points
The even-keeled 2023 U.S. Women's Open champ, who can make some putts, has proved to be a superb foursomes partner for Nelly Korda. They are 4-0. Corpuz was on the 2021 Curtis Cup team with Rose Zhang, and they were undefeated in the four-ball format.
Andrea Lee
Age: 28
World Ranking: 37
Solheim Cup appearances: 2 (2023, 2024)
Solheim Cup record: 3-2-2
Qualified via: Rolex rankings
A consistent 2026 LPGA campaign for Lee though nothing flashy, with only one top-10 finish dating back to March. Lee finished eighth on Solheim Cup points and qualified through her Rolex Ranking. The former Stanford star went 2-0 with another Cardinal alumna in Zhang in four-balls two years ago.
Alison Lee
Age: 31
World Ranking: 59
Solheim Cup appearances: 2 (2015, 2024)
Solheim Cup record: 2-5-0
Qualified via: Rolex rankings
The only player on Team USA with experience winning overseas, Lee was actually eight weeks pregnant at the 2024 Solheim and dealt with morning sickness. After coming back from maternity leave in 2026, she's playing some of the best golf of her career. She finished T-3 at the Mizuho Americas Open on Mother's Day, led the U.S. Women's Open going into the weekend at Riviera and tied for fifth at the KPMG Women's PGA.
