Maguire survives missed cuts and controversy to headline Solheim Cup wildcard picks

• Irish golfer one of four wildcard picks for Europe

• Rookies Ramirez, Nadaud and Rhodes also selected

Leona Maguire has retained her place in Europe's Solheim Cup team despite a disappointing 2026, with the Irish golfer one of four wildcard picks named by Anna Nordqvist on Monday. Maguire joins three rookies - Julia Lopez Ramirez, Nastasia Nadaud and Mimi Rhodes - in completing the European side who will attempt to reclaim the trophy in the Netherlands next month.

A missed cut for Maguire in the Women's British Open last week meant the 31-year-old had failed to play in the closing 36 holes of four from a possible five majors in 2026. In the one where she made the cut, the Women's PGA Championship, Maguire tied 53rd. She started this week ranked 83rd in the world.
