Europeans set Solheim date

The 2007 European Solheim Cup team will be announced after the Wales Ladies Championship of Europe in August.

The tournament (August 16-19) will be the final event where players competing for a spot on the 12-woman team can earn Solheim Cup points.

Captain Helen Alfredsson will then announce her team on Tuesday August 21 in Sweden, allowing time for the Rolex Women’s World Rankings to be updated.

This year’s European Solheim Cup team will consist of 12 members of the Ladies European Tour, comprising the leading five players in the European Solheim Cup standings plus the leading four players from the Rolex Women’s World Rankings not otherwise qualified on Tuesday August 21.

In addition, Alfredsson will make three captain’s picks.
