Lewis, already fully engaged in preparing for this year's match against Europe's defending champions, will now also lead the top 12 American female golfers at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia from September 10 to 15, 2024.

The 2024 staging will shift the biennial event's programme, with the next edition being set for 2026.

"This is such an amazing honour, to be asked to again captain the U.S. Solheim Cup Team," Lewis said.

"Receiving the first call was one of the highest points of my career, and I am truly grateful to add this second opportunity.

"I’ve said it many times - representing the United States and wearing our colours are experiences that stand out in any player’s career.

"To have the chance to lead our country’s best players twice, and especially in 2024 outside our nation’s capital, is a true privilege."

Mollie Marcoux Samaan, commissioner of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) added: "Stacy has already proven to be an outstanding captain as she prepares for the 2023 Solheim Cup.

"She has embraced the role in every way and has implemented several innovative ways to help her team reach peak performance, including the use of advanced data and analytics.

"Her Solheim Cup experience, proven leadership and passion coupled with the many benefits of consistency in 2023 and 2024 led the selection committee to enthusiastically invite Stacy to captain the team in 2024."

Lewis is a 13-time LPGA Tour winner, earning major titles at the 2011 Chevron Championship and the 2013 AIG Women’s Open.

She spent 264 consecutive weeks from 2011 to 2016 ranked in the top 10 in the Rolex women’s world golf rankings, including 25 weeks at number one, and was the 2012 and 2014 Rolex LPGA Player of the Year.

In February of last year Lewis was named captain for the 2023 U.S. Solheim Cup team, which will take on Team Europe at Finca Cortesin in Andalucia, Spain.

At 38 years, seven months and six days old on the first day of competition in 2023 and 39 years, five months and 28 days old in 2024, she will be the youngest American captain in Solheim Cup history.

She will also join World Golf Hall of Fame members Juli Inkster, Judy Rankin, Patty Sheehan and Kathy Whitworth as the fifth person to captain the US team at least twice.

Prior to joining the LPGA Tour, Lewis enjoyed a standout amateur career as a four-time All-American at the University of Arkansas, taking the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I national title in 2007 as one of her 12 titles.
