Anna Nordqvist, the captain of Team Europe for the Solheim Cup, announces she will retire from professional golf after playing this week’s FM Championship near Boston. Multiple outlets report she makes the announcement through social media and marks the end of her playing career with what she describes as her final round.
Nordqvist is set to lead Team Europe into the Solheim Cup about 12 days after her retirement from competition, with coverage indicating the Solheim Cup is due to be televised on Sky Sports. Sky News and Sky Sports focus on the emotional farewell and the timing relative to her captaincy, while BBC Sport highlights her status as a three-time major winner and frames the announcement around the FM Championship as her final tournament. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports add broader career context, noting her major victories and career achievements.
Across sources, the key points remain consistent: she retires mid-season after the FM Championship, and she still prepares to captain Europe at the Solheim Cup shortly afterward.
