Laura Davies Explains Why She Never Captained the Solheim Cup

Dame Laura Davies, a prominent figure in women's golf with 12 Solheim Cup appearances and four victories, has never served as captain of the European team. She explained that her focus remained on playing rather than taking on the captaincy role.

Davies noted that she never felt particularly excited about the idea of being a captain, as her priority was to contribute to the team through her performance on the course. Her comments come in light of the recent retirement of current European captain Anna Nordqvist from competitive play, which surprised Davies.

Davies expressed admiration for Nordqvist's leadership, highlighting her ability to assemble a strong team that includes both experienced players and newcomers. The European team features four rookies, alongside seasoned competitor Charley Hull, as they prepare for the upcoming Solheim Cup at Bernadus.
