Suzann Pettersen will captain the European team at the Solheim Cup in 2023, the Ladies European Tour announced on Monday, with the Norwegian describing the appointment as the biggest honor of her career.

The former world No 2 is a double major champion and has represented Europe nine times as a player in the competition and twice as a vice-captain.

She was part of five triumphs against the United States, once as a non-playing assistant captain, and brings a wealth of experience to the side.

"I'm simply thrilled to be named Solheim Cup captain. This is the biggest honor of my career," said Pettersen.

"My best golfing memories are from the Solheim Cup. You're out there with your teammates, your friends, and you all work for one goal. You fight for your friends and you share incredibly precious moments."

The next edition of the biennial women's team tournament takes place from Sept 18-24, 2023 at Finca Cortesin in the heart of Spain's Costa del Sol.
