Solheim Cup heroes to join Korda sisters at $1m Aramco Team Series — Sotogrande

SOTOGRANDE: The Aramco Team Series — Sotogrande is shaping up to be a teaser for the 2023 Solheim Cup, with a host of big-name Europeans today joining the likes of US stars Nelly and Jessica Korda on the southern Spanish coast next month.

Triple-major-winner Anna Nordqvist of Sweden leads the superstar golfers announced for the $1 million tournament, where the hero of the 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles — England’s Bronte Law — will also compete.

They will be joined by the captain of that victorious European Team, Catriona Matthew, as well as Dame Laura Davies. Nanna Koertz Madsen of Denmark and Matilda Castren of Finland — both 2021 Solheim Cup winning rookies — will also play, as will Team Europe alumni Anne Van Dam of the Netherlands.

Caroline Masson, a regular mainstay on the European Solheim Cup team with four appearances in the last 10 years, is another star name to commit to Sotogrande — as is 2020 AIG Women’s Open champion and fellow German, Sophia Popov.

At La Reserva Club, a course located just 20 kilometers from Finca Cortesin, host venue of next year’s Solheim Cup, that bulging European field will come up against a US pack led by the Korda sisters — former world number one Nelly and six-time LPGA winner Jessica — and featuring the likes of defending Aramco Team Series — Sotogrande individual champion Alison Lee, Lindsey Weaver-Wright and hotshot record-breaker Kelly Whaley, whose eight birdies in a row during competition play earlier this year set a new LET benchmark.

The Aramco Team Series returns to Spain with its unique mixed team and individual format for the second year in a row, taking place Aug. 18-20.
