Longtime Caddie Pairings Highlight 2026 Solheim Cup Field

Several long-running player-caddie partnerships are on display this week at the 2026 Solheim Cup, where 24 players from Europe and the United States are competing at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands.

Which pairings go back the furthest?

Charley Hull has worked with caddie Adam Woodward since 2015, spanning six of her seven Solheim Cup appearances. Nelly Korda's caddie, Jason McDede, has been on her bag since 2018 for four Solheim Cup appearances and four major championship wins. Megan Khang, making her fifth Solheim Cup start, has carried with Jack Fulghum, Lexi Thompson's former caddie, since 2023.

Which pairings are new or notable?

Ryder Cup rookie Lottie Woad switched from longtime caddie Dermot Byrne to David Taylor ahead of the 2026 season. Taylor has also previously worked with Woad's Solheim Cup teammate, Linn Grant. Esther Henseleit's caddie is her husband, Reece Henseleit Phillips, who was on the bag when she lost a playoff at the AIG Women's Open to Shiho Kuwaki. Andrea Lee's caddie, Jason Gilroyed, has previously worked with Jessica Korda, Minjee Lee and Lee's current Solheim Cup teammates Rose Zhang and Alison Lee.

The Solheim Cup has featured 12 players per side since 1996, after starting with eight-player teams in 1990 and expanding to 10 for two editions. This year's 20th edition marks the first time the match has been held in the Netherlands.
