How Charley Hull tips next Solheim Cup captain

Charley Hull has cemented her place as a key figure in European golf, particularly in the Solheim Cup, where she recently completed her sixth straight appearance. At just 28 years old, Hull is already a veteran of the competition, and her stellar performance in the 2023 Solheim Cup, where she

secured three points for Europe and dominated World No. 1 Nelly Korda in the singles match, has only enhanced her reputation. Her leadership within the team continues to grow, and her insights on the next Solheim Cup captain carry significant weight as Europe looks to rebound in 2026.

Hull has endorsed fellow Englishwoman Mel Reid, who served as one of Suzann Pettersen’s assistants during this year’s competition, as the ideal successor for the captaincy. Speaking during the LPGA’s Kroger Queen City Championship, Hull praised Reid’s leadership qualities, highlighting their close bond and Reid’s ability to balance humor with seriousness when needed. Hull also mentioned veteran Anna Nordqvist as a potential candidate but noted that Nordqvist could still play in the next Solheim Cup, making her availability for the captaincy uncertain. The decision for Europe’s next leader at Bernadus Golf in the Netherlands will undoubtedly be an intriguing one.
