The United States Team is the No. 1 seed in the 2025 Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown and is comprised of four LPGA Tour winners. Only one team member has ever played in the International Crown, but all four athletes have plenty of Solheim Cup experience on which to lean, as they have seven combined appearances in the biennial team competition between them.
