Solheim Cup captain Carin Koch has named Sophie Gustafson and Maria McBride (formerly Hjorth) as her vice-captains for Europe's defence of the trophy in Germany in September.
Gustafson made eight Solheim Cup appearances between 1998 and 2011, winning four points from four matches in Ireland four years ago, while McBride featured five times between 2002 and 2011.
"I am extremely proud to have assembled one of the most experienced and accomplished back-room teams imaginable," said Koch, who served as a vice-captain to Liselotte Neumann in Colorado in 2013, when Europe claimed their first away victory.
"It's a great honour to be named vice-captain," Gustafson said. "The Solheim Cup to me is pure passion. You play with guts for glory and one way or another I was always going to be in St. Leon-Rot in September, even if it was just to fetch coffee for Carin.
"As a helper in Colorado last time around I feel I did some good, and getting to step up from there to vice-captain is going to be great fun."
McBride added: " I am very honoured and proud to be named a vice-captain for the 2015 Solheim Cup team. I have been involved in five teams, all playing of course, but to have a chance to help Europe inside the ropes in a different way is wonderful.
"I am very excited about the job and can't wait for September to come. I hope that I can bring experience, guidance, friendship and laughter."
