As the 2025 Solheim Cup prepares to kick off this Friday at Netherlands’ Bernardus Golf, all eyes are turning to Team Europe’s full roster of competitors, a mix of seasoned veterans with decades of team experience and exciting rookie prospects making their first appearance in one of women’s golf’s most prestigious team events. Below is an in-depth profile of every player set to represent the European side, broken down by career milestones, past Solheim Cup performance, and recent form heading into this year’s competition.
Celine Boutier, 32, of France, enters the tournament ranked 34th in the world with 11 global professional wins to her name, including the 2023 Evian Championship. Making her fourth Solheim Cup appearance, the French star holds a career team record of 7-6-1 across matches. Boutier has experienced both the highest highs and lowest lows of Solheim Cup competition: she went undefeated with a 4-0-0 record in her 2019 debut, but dropped all three of her matches during the 2023 event hosted in Spain. She earned a win on the LPGA Tour at the ShopRite LPGA earlier this year, carrying momentum into her fourth showing.
Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, 36, is one of Team Europe’s most experienced competitors, ranked 60th globally with 11 worldwide professional titles. Ciganda is tied with England’s Charley Hull for the most Solheim Cup appearances in Team Europe’s 2025 roster, marking her seventh trip to the team event with a career record of 12-11-1. Her most iconic Solheim Cup moment came on home soil in 2023, when she defeated American star Nelly Korda to lock in Europe’s retention of the cup.
At 27, Sweden’s Linn Grant holds the 61st spot in the global rankings with nine worldwide professional wins, though she has yet to claim a major championship title. Grant is making her third Solheim Cup appearance with a career team record of 3-6-0. The talented Swede has struggled with consistency throughout 2025, missing the cut in four of this year’s five major championships and finishing outside the top 60 in the remaining event. She dropped all four of her matches during the 2024 Solheim Cup, and will be looking to turn her form around at Bernardus Golf.
Germany’s Esther Henseleit, 27, enters the tournament as one of Europe’s top-ranked competitors at 20th in the world, with two global professional titles to her name. Henseleit is making her second Solheim Cup appearance, holding a 1-1-1 career record from her first showing. The German player has hit her stride in recent years, claiming a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and coming within a putt of winning the Women’s British Open, where she holed a dramatic 45-foot birdie putt to force a playoff before ultimately falling short.
Charley Hull, 30, of England, ranks eighth in the world with eight worldwide professional wins, and is tied for the most Solheim Cup appearances on Team Europe with her seventh showing this year. Hull boasts an impressive career team record of 15-9-3, widely regarded as the energetic heart of the European side and one of the most charismatic personalities in global women’s golf. Her signature aggressive playing style has consistently delivered results in Solheim Cup match play, and she is expected to be a key contributor for Europe in 2025.
Denmark’s Nanna Koertz Madsen, 31, ranks 68th globally with two professional wins, and is making her second Solheim Cup appearance, her first in five years. Madsen holds a 1-1-1 career record from her debut team appearance, but has not claimed a professional tournament win in four years heading into this year’s event.
Ireland’s Leona Maguire, 31, is ranked 78th in the world with three worldwide professional wins, making her third Solheim Cup appearance with an impressive career record of 8-3-1. Named Europe’s top match play competitor during the 2021 Solheim Cup, Maguire has struggled through a two-year winless slump, and only appeared in two matches during the 2023 tournament. She will be aiming to recapture her standout match play form in the Netherlands.
The 2025 Team Europe roster includes four first-time Solheim Cup competitors, headlined by 21-year-old French rookie Nastasia Nadaud. Ranked 89th globally with one professional win, Nadaud earned her spot after claiming victory at the Ladies European Tour season finale last year.
Another rookie, 23-year-old Spaniard Julia Lopez Ramirez, enters her first Solheim Cup ranked 93rd in the world with no professional wins to date. In just her second full season as a professional, Lopez Ramirez rose to the top of the women’s world amateur rankings in 2024 before leaving Mississippi State University to turn pro.
England’s Mimi Rhodes, 24, is the third rookie on Team Europe, ranked 105th globally with three professional titles. Rhodes earned promotion to the event after claiming three wins on the Ladies European Tour last season, though she has only notched two top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour in 2025 so far.
Sweden’s Maja Stark, 27, enters the tournament ranked 28th in the world with seven global professional wins, including the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open – the biggest win of her career to date. Stark held off American star Nelly Korda to claim the major title last year, which remains her most recent tournament win. Making her third Solheim Cup appearance, she holds a career team record of 3-3-2.
The final member of Team Europe’s 2025 roster is 22-year-old English rookie Lottie Woad, who has skyrocketed to seventh in the world rankings in just the early stages of her professional career. Woad notched an amateur win at the Women’s Irish Open followed by a professional victory at the Women’s Scottish Open, a dynamic start to her career that has led many golf analysts to predict she will compete like a seasoned veteran rather than a first-time Solheim Cup rookie in this week’s tournament.
