On April 29, 2025, U.S. captain Angela Stanford announced that Paula Creamer will serve as the second assistant captain for the 2026 Solheim Cup.

The tournament is scheduled to take place at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands from September 11-13, 2026.

This upcoming event is particularly significant for the U.S. team, as they aim to secure their first victory on European soil since 2015.

The U.S. team recently reclaimed the Solheim Cup in September 2023, thwarting Europe's attempt to win the trophy for a fourth consecutive time.

At 38 years old, Creamer brings a wealth of experience to the team, being a major champion and a 10-time winner on the LPGA Tour.

Throughout her career, Creamer has participated in seven Solheim Cups, where she has achieved the most foursomes wins and points for any American player.

Creamer made her Solheim Cup debut in 2005 as a 19-year-old rookie, making her the youngest player to ever compete in the event.

Stanford praised Creamer's passion for the Solheim Cup, highlighting their shared history as teammates and assistant captains.

In a statement, Creamer expressed her commitment to support Stanford and the U.S. team in their goal to retain the Cup.
