Stacy Lewis to Captain Team USA at 2023 Solheim Cup
Four-time Solheim Cup participant will lead Team USA in Spain
KPMG Brand Ambassador Stacy Lewis has been named captain of the 2023 USA Solheim Cup Team. Lewis, who has been involved with the Solheim Cup since her debut appearance in 2011, will lead a team of the top 12 American female golfers as they work to reclaim the Solheim Cup from Team Europe at Finca Cortesin in Spain.
“To be named captain for the USA Solheim Cup Team is an incredible honor and I’m beyond grateful to the Committee for choosing me," Lewis said. "I have so many amazing memories from my years on the team and the two opportunities I’ve had to work alongside the team. I absolutely love the Solheim Cup and I want 2023 to be as great an experience for my team as my years wearing Red, White and Blue have been for me.”
After playing in the event in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017, Lewis served as an unofficial assistant captain in 2019 due to an injury that kept her from competing. In 2021, she served as an assistant captain and is excited to take on an increased role with the team.
“I have learned so much from the past captains on the Solheim Cup Committee, and the fact that they chose me to lead this team is one of the proudest moments of my career. Juli [Inskter] gave me my first taste of captaincy when she asked me to help her with the singles lineup in Germany in 2015. Being an assistant captain for Pat was honestly the most fun week I’ve had at a Solheim Cup. I’m more than ready to step into this role.”
Congratulations Stacy!
