The U.S. Solheim Cup team added Brittany Lang as captain Angela Stanford's third assistant captain for the 2026 competition.

Stanford already had Kristy McPherson and Paula Creamer on her staff and now adds Lang, who competed in five Solheim Cups from 2009-17 and was part of three winning teams.

This will be Lang's first time as an assistant captain.

"I am beyond honored and excited to be asked to be an assistant captain of the U.S. Solheim Cup Team in 2026," Lang said in a statement. "I've played a lot of Solheim Cups with Angela, Kristy and Paula, and I'm excited to work alongside them to lead the American Team to victory in the Netherlands next September. This is probably one of the highest honors I've had in my career. I'm excited to learn, to help and to experience the atmosphere as an assistant captain."

Lang, who earned full LPGA Tour playing privileges in 2006, won twice in her LPGA career. Her biggest achievement came in 2016 when she captured the U.S. Women's Open in a three-hole playoff against Sweden's Anna Nordqvist - the European Solheim Cup captain.

The 2026 Solheim Cup will be played at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. The U.S. team is the defending champion.
