Europe’s Solheim Cup captain Anna Nordqvist announces shock retirement

Published

August 27, 2026

Europe’s Solheim Cup captain Anna Nordqvist has announced her shock departure from professional golf after a career which has spanned almost two decades.

The Swede, who is a three-time major winner, will play her final tournament this weekend at the FM Championship in Boston before retiring from the sport.

The 39-year-old’s announcement comes two weeks out from captaining her first-ever Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. Nordqvist featured in nine Solheim Cups as a player, winning four and retaining the trophy once. She was a playing vice-captain to Suzann Pettersen in 2023 and 2024.

Her first major win came in her second year as a professional when she won the Women’s PGA Championship in 2009. Wins at the Evian Championship in 2017 and the Women’s British Open at Carnoustie in 2021 helped cement her golfing legacy.

“I can’t say it has always been easy, especially being so far away from my family but they have supported me every step of the way. I’ve fallen so many times, but I never gave up and I stood up every time I fell,” a statement shared by Nordqvist to social media read.

“I am forever thankful for everything this game has given me and the people I have met along the way. I don’t know how to say goodbye to something that means so much to me but this is going to be my last week walking inside the ropes competing on tour.

“l am not sure what the future has in store for me but it is with a grateful heart I have decided to retire from playing professional golf to focus on my health and my family. Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey and been part of it along the way it has meant the world to me.”

In an interview with The Athletic last month ahead of the Amundi Evian Championship in France, Nordqvist opened up about the personal sacrifices she was forced to make in order to maintain her career as a professional golfer. One of them included rarely getting to see her family back home in Sweden.

“When you struggle or when there’s a lot going on, it’d be nice just to be able to crash at your mom’s couch or have a home-cooked meal or see your brothers,” Nordqvist said in July. “When you get texts from your nieces and nephews saying ‘I miss you, when are you coming home?’ and you know it’s not going to be for another three months, how do you break it to them?

“It’s getting harder because you start missing birthdays, you start losing milestones. My nieces and nephews are anywhere from between five and 14 now and so much happens. They are so much fun and I love seeing the world through their eyes. I don’t feel like there’s anything better.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have my own kids so they’ve kind of been the highlight of my life. It’s obviously something that’s getting harder and harder because you feel like you want to be there, you should be there, but you just can’t.”

Nordqvist, who currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, has 16 professional wins in total including nine on the LPGA Tour and five on the Ladies European Tour.

“The last year-and-a-half has been crazy busy with the Solheim Cup planning and trying to do that while I still manage my own game,” she said in July. “I haven’t had a lot of time for myself so that’s been tough but, at the end of the day, I go to bed knowing that I’ve done the best I can each day and that’s all I can really do.”
