Alison Nicholas has named former US and British Women's Open champion Liselotte Neumann and England's Joanne Morley as her assistants for next year's Solheim Cup in Illinois.
Previous European captains have had only one assistant, but Nicholas believes that having one based in America and another in Europe could help her side achieve their first victory on US soil.
"I'm thrilled that Lotta and Joanne accepted my invitation. Their combined Solheim Cup experience will be invaluable and will help to complement my strengths," said Nicholas.
"Lotta is a well-respected player, having competed in six Solheim Cups, and Joanne is a very good friend who worked with me behind the scenes when I was vice-captain in 2005."
Neumann said: "It's so great to be part of the Solheim Cup again. I tried to play my way onto the team over the last few years but wasn't able to make it, so to be part of the team in this way I'm absolutely thrilled."
Morley, who played in the 1996 match, added: "I am honoured that Alison asked me. Hopefully we can pull all the right strings and bring the Solheim Cup back to Europe.
"We are all going to be 100% positive, especially with Alison at the helm. She is one of the most positive people I know."
US captain Beth Daniel recently named Meg Mallon and Kelly Robbins as her assistants for the match at Rich Harvest Farms on August 21-23, 2009.
