The Swiss golfer is set to make her Solheim Cup debut as part of Team Europe, who are looking to win the event for the fourth consecutive time. Albane Valenzuela is one of only two golfers rookies on the European side, along with Esther Henseleit.
She recorded her best finishes in both the AIG Women’s Open and Evian Championship this season. However, her best finish in a Major came in 2023, when she finished in a tie for fourth at the Chevron Championship.
Despite having a French mother and a Mexican father, she represented Switzerland at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. It was her third Games representing Switzerland, putting in her in a small group of golfers who have been to three Olympic Games.
So, what clubs does the Swiss have in the bag for 2024? Let’s run through the full Albane Valenzuela WITB…
A look inside Albane Valenzuela’s Bag
Valenzuela uses the same driver as her fellow Captain’s pick for the Solheim Cup team. The 26-year-old switched to Titleist’s new GT series , selecting the smaller more workable GT3 model.
She has stuck with the Titleist GT series for her fairway woods as well, putting two Titleist GT2 woods into play. One being a 3-wood and the other a 5-wood.
The Swiss golf star rounds out her metal wood line-up with a switch to ping. She has opted to use the popular Ping G430 in her hybrids, in fact, she has two of them in her bag.
With so many woods and hybrids in her bag, there is little room for a full set of irons. Her irons range from a six iron to a pitching wedge, all of which are the Titleist T100 model.
Valenzuela has a more extensive wedge option range with three different lofts put into her bag, a 48°, 52° and 58°. All wedges are Titleist Vokey Design SM10s.
