Dec. 29, 2004 – The 2005 Wendy's Championship for Children has been named as the last official event in which U.S. players can earn 2005 Solheim Cup points, LPGA Tour officials have announced. The event is set for Aug. 25-28 at Tartan Fields Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, and the U.S. team will be named at the conclusion of the event.

The 2005 Solheim Cup will be played Sept. 9-11 at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind.

U.S. players began accumulating Solheim Cup points at the 2003 State Farm Classic, the week following the 2003 Solheim Cup Team selection. LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Famer Nancy Lopez serves as captain of the 2005 U.S. team.

For the 12-person squad, 10 players will qualify by earning points for wins and top-20 finishes over the two-year period, with two players selected by the captain. Only U.S.-born LPGA Tour players are eligible for selection for the U.S. Solheim Cup team.
