U.S. Team Captain Morgan Pressel has named Madeleine Conser of Portland, Oregon, Iris Lee of Orlando, Florida, Amber Lee of San Diego, California, and Aubrey Hilgers of Surprise, Arizona to the 2026 United States PING Junior Solheim Cup Team.
The four captain's picks join the eight players who qualified for the team and were announced last month, completing the 12-player squad that will represent the United States in the Netherlands this September.
Modeled after the Solheim Cup, the PING Junior Solheim Cup biennially features the 12 best female junior golfers (ages 12-18) from the United States competing against their counterparts from Team Europe. The team match play event consists of foursomes, four-ball and singles matches played over two days and rotates between U.S. and European host sites in conjunction with the Solheim Cup. In a historic first, the 2026 PING Junior Solheim Cup will be contested on the same course as the Solheim Cup, with both events taking place at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands. The junior competition will be held September 7-8, immediately preceding the Solheim Cup, which runs September 9-13.
The U.S. Team will look to defend its title after a commanding 18.5-5.5 victory over Team Europe at Army Navy Country Club in Virginia in 2024. Heading to the Netherlands, the Americans will aim to capture back-to-back PING Junior Solheim Cup titles while extending their advantage in the all-time series, which stands at 8-4-1.

About The PING Junior Solheim Cup
For the first time ever, the 2026 PING Junior Solheim Cup will be contested on the same course as The Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands. The junior event will take place September 7 through 8 , immediately before The Solheim Cup, which runs September 9 through 13.
The PING Junior Solheim Cup is a team match play competition between Europe and the United States, featuring the best twelve female golfers born in 2006 or later. The competition consists of twenty four matches — six foursomes, six four ball matches, and twelve singles matches. The event is intended to prepare juniors for the next stages of their careers by providing high level match play experience and opportunities to learn from the professional competitors playing in The Solheim Cup.
The 2026 event marks the fourteenth playing of the PING Junior Solheim Cup. The United States leads the all-time series 8-4-1 and reclaimed the trophy in 2024 with a commanding 18.5 to 5.5 victory at Army Navy Country Club in Virginia.
The event was established in 2002 by PING CEO and Chairman John A. Solheim and has developed a strong reputation for showcasing the world’s top female junior golfers. Past participants include Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang, Carlota Ciganda, Linn Grant, and Lexi Thompson all of whom later advanced to The Solheim Cup stage.
