The winner of a major earns 80 LET Solheim Cup points. Anne Van Dam (114), Caroline Hedwall (114), and Charley Hull (105) hold the three qualifying spots, with Carlota Ciganda in fourth with 100.88 points.

Ciganda is the leader on Team Europe of qualifying by Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking (4.50). Anna Nordqvist holds the final qualifying position with a 1.80 average. Celine Boutier is narrowly ahead of Jodi Ewart Shadoff to lead the chase groups, with both sitting at a 1.53 average.
