Fringe Coverage - LPGA Golf Podcast

Team Europe wins the 2026 Solheim Cup, and we break down the biggest winners, losers, surprises and moments from the USA-Europe showdown. Tom and Marc dissect Captain strategies, break down the Angel Yin situation, relive the Kupcho-Ciganda drama, praise the European crowd, and debate what Team USA needs to do differently heading into 2028 at Valhalla. And while Europe walks away with the Cup, Marc makes the case for why the big winner of the week was women's golf. Follow us on Instagram @FringeCoveragePod Like the pod?

The 2026 Solheim Cup is finally here! The biennial event that inspired the creation of Fringe Coverage has arrived, with Team USA and Team Europe set to square off in the Netherlands for the 20th edition of one of golf’s great rivalries. In this episode, we get you ready for everything ahead with a full Solheim Cup primer—breaking down the teams, the format, the scoring and the players who could make the biggest impact. We also dive into some of the pairings we’d love to see, the chemistry behind building successful partnerships, and the strategy captains face when putting together pairings and daily lineups. The countdown is over. It’s Solheim Cup week. Follow us on Instagram @FringeCoveragePod Like the pod? Leave a review wherever you get your podcasts!

Just days after announcing her final three captain’s picks for the 2026 Solheim Cup, Team USA Captain Angela Stanford returns to Fringe Coverage for an inside look at the toughest part of her captaincy. Angela takes us through the selection of Megan Khang, Rose Zhang and Lindy Duncan, and also provides a behind the scenes look at her pick-making operation — from organizing and prioritizing data, evaluating rookie resumes and balancing everything from course fit and potential pairings to locker-room chemistry and personality. With her 12-player team now complete, Angela also looks ahead to Bernardus and the weeks leading up to the Solheim Cup, including her preparation plan and what she's expecting from the course. And in true Fringe Coverage fashion, we couldn't let Captain Stanford leave without asking her important player questions ("Which player is lighting up the group chat?") and putting her through the Captain's Combine.

Australian rising star Karis Davidson joins Fringe Coverage to talk about her unconventional path to the LPGA and the rapid rise that has made her one of the Tour’s most intriguing young players. Karis reflects on jumping more than 200 spots in the world rankings in less than a year, the decision to step away from golf for a mental break in 2024, and how that time ultimately helped reshape her approach to the game. She also takes us inside the evolution of her "K-Dawg" social media persona, compares the golf cultures she’s experienced around the world, and tackles our questions about life on Tour with her Aussie Posse.

The picks are in! Marc and Tom react to Angela Stanford's three captain's picks - Megan Khang, Rose Zhang and Lindy Duncan - joining Team USA at the 2026 Solheim Cup. Marc breaks down how nobody played their way ON to the team, how this USA team stacks up against the 2024 squad, and why he's underwhelmed by both the European and USA teams on paper. The guys also marvel at Miyu Yamashita's wire-to-wire NINE (!) shot victory at the CPKC Women's Open, and preview this week's FM Championship. Like The Pod?
