To celebrate one year to go until the 2026 Solheim Cup, and as part of the LET Sustainability Initiative (LETSI), Eva-Lotta Stromlid, Head of Client Partnerships at the LET, will embark on a sustainability-driven journey from her home in Sweden to Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands – the home of next year’s greatest team events.
The LETSI works with partners equally committed to put sustainable leadership and green partnerships in focus to make a global impact. LETSI is about using the power of tournaments such as Solheim Cup 2026 to showcase action and innovation across a range of priority issues such as environmental responsibility, community engagement, and working towards achieving tournament climate neutrality.
From 4-8 September 2025, Lotta will travel 1,000km, primarily by bike, to highlight the importance of sustainable travel and to help build excitement for the upcoming tournament. Her adventure will culminate at Bernardus Golf on Monday, 8 September, one year before the 2026 Solheim Cup begins – and the day that general tickets go on sale at 2pm CEST.
Solheim Cup 2026 Team Europe and U.S. team captains Anna Nordqvist and Angela Stanford, and vice captains Paula Creamer and Caroline Hedwall, will join the last part of the journey, from Den Bosch Station to Bernardus Golf. Travelling alongside Solheim Cup stakeholders, they will mirror the same route fans will take in September 2026 – highlighting the event’s commitment to sustainable travel.
The journey begins in Vastra Karup, Sweden, where she will cycle 100km to Copenhagen, Denmark and then continue on a bus and boat to Lubeck, Germany. From there she will continue on her bike and then board a train to Groningen, the Netherlands. Her route then continues south towards Utrecht. The final day will be an 80km ride to Bernardus Golf – the perfect finish to the year-to-go celebration.
“I’m embarking on this journey to lead by example and to inspire a shift in mindset of sustainable practices,” said Lotta. “Through my training and preparation, I’ve been reminded of how deeply I value nature and the sense of freedom that comes from cycling. Being able to combine my personal passions with an activity that also promotes the Solheim Cup and LETSI, makes this journey even more meaningful.”
In line with national efforts and regulatory goals in the Netherlands, sustainability and environmental awareness are key themes of Solheim Cup 2026. Stay up to date with Lotta’s journey on social media – #RoadtoBernardus, @LETgolf on Instagram and X.
