Captain Stacy Lewis named Morgan Pressel, Angela Stanford, Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome as her assistant captains on Tuesday for the United States team at the Solheim Cup.

They will lead a team of the top 12 American golfers against the European squad at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., from Sept. 13-15.

Europe retained the Solheim Cup in 2023 with a 14-14 tie at Finca Cortesin in Spain in Lewis’ first appearance as captain.

Creamer and Lincicome will serve as assistants for the first time, joining 2023 assistants Pressel and Stanford.

“I’m so excited to have Morgan and Angela back for this year at RTJ! Then thinking about what I learned last year in Spain and from previous captains, I asked Paula and Brittany to join the team as well,” Lewis said in a news release. “These four have so much experience and love for the Solheim Cup, plus they’re my friends and all major champions too. I’m excited to see them in this role and to help prepare them to be future captains as well.”

Creamer played in seven Solheim Cups, while Lincicome, Pressel and Stanford each played in six.

The U.S. holds a 10-7-1 lead over Europe in the team competition, first held in 1990.
