Check Out the Opening Matches for the 2026 Solheim Cup

Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz vs. Charley Hull and Lottie Woad to open the Solheim Cup? Yes, please!

The gala and opening ceremony are in the books, now it’s time to play some golf in the Netherlands—and the first match of the Solheim Cup is appointment television.

Team USA captain Angela Stanford is sending out Allisen Corpuz and Nelly Korda, who are undefeated at 4-0 as a pair, while European captain Anna Nordqvist is tapping Charley Hull and Lottie Woad to lead the charge for the home team.

For us in the States, the first session would be an early wake up call—God bless those who set that alarm. But the afternoon match-ups will be perfect for some coffee golf.

If you do wake up early enough to watch, the morning will consist of foursomes matches. For those who don't know, foursomes is also known as alternate shot.

Here’s a look at the four matches that will open the 2026 Solheim Cup.
