Van Dam emphasizes that her players will "fight to the last putt" as they prepare for the tournament, which occurs just days before the Solheim Cup kicks off on September 11.

The event showcases twelve of Europe's top golfers aged 12 to 18, competing against Team USA. This year marks a historic moment as both the PING Junior Solheim Cup and the Solheim Cup take place at the same venue within the same week.

Key Highlights:

• Team USA holds an all-time record of 8-4-1 against Team Europe at the PING Junior Solheim Cup.
• Team USA aims to defend their title after winning at the Army-Navy Country Club in 2024.
• Van Dam's team features fighters with strong personalities, instilling confidence in their potential to perform well.

Van Dam selected Marta Muñoz, who triumphed in the R&A Girls' Amateur Championship, as one of her captain's picks. Other notable players include Lana Guyot and Lauren Crump, who qualified through rankings.

On the American side, Asterisk Talley, the top-ranked player in the Rolex AJGA, leads the charge alongside Amelie Zalsman and Anna Fang, who contributed to Team USA's previous successes.

The competition format includes:

• September 7: Six four-ball matches and six foursomes matches
• September 8: Twelve singles matches

With a blend of excitement and anticipation, Van Dam looks forward to witnessing her team's performance and their future careers in golf.
