Annika Sorenstam wants to be Europe’s Solheim Cup captain when the matches are staged next year in Iowa.
Sorenstam confirmed Tuesday that she has submitted her name to the Ladies European Tour selection committee for consideration.
“I would love to be the European Solheim Cup captain and 2017 has been my goal for years,” Sorenstam said. “We officially put my name in, and we’ll see what happens.”
If the LET names Sorenstam – it would be a stunner if it doesn’t – that will set up a dynamic pairing of captains at Des Moines (Iowa) Golf & Country Club in August of 2017.
