On Tuesday, U.S. Solheim Cup Captain Stacy Lewis named Morgan Pressel, Angela Stanford, Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome as her assistants for September’s 2024 Solheim Cup in Gainesville, Virginia. All four Americans are major winners.

Creamer and Lincicome will serve as assistants for the first time while Pressel and Stanford worked alongside Lewis in a losing effort at the 2023 Solheim Cup in Andalusia, Spain.

“These four have so much experience and love for the Solheim Cup, plus they’re my friends and all major champions too,” said Lewis.

“I’m excited to see them in this role and to help prepare them to be future captains as well.”

Creamer, a 10-time LPGA Tour winner, was a staple on U.S. teams for two decades (2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017). She played in her first Solheim Cup matches as an LPGA Tour rookie in 2005 at the age 19, then the youngest player in the event’s history.

Lincicome is herself an 8-time tour winner and was a teammate of Creamer on six U.S. squads (2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017).

Lewis, Creamer and Lincicome were Cup teammates in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Pressel, meanwhile, has competed in six Solheim Cups, including in 2011 when she had a 4-0-0 record, and in 2009 when she secured the winning point with a 3-and-2 win over Anna Nordqvist.

Finally, Stanford has also been part of six Solheim Cups, and in 2015 earned the winning point with her 2-and-1 victory over Suzann Pettersen.

Lewis, Linicome, Creamer, Pressel and Stanford were Solheim Cup teammates in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

This year’s Solheim Cup is Sept. 13-15 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va.
