Not all of these are up to date. Corpuz finished T15 at KMPG PGA for 21 points and is ahead of Knight.

If Lexi makes the team its gonna be brutal watching her play, unless she significantly increases her tournament rounds and doesnt just stick to majors and saudi tournaments.

Rose will probably move up Rolex enough to be on the team currently. 

[Stooch]

I was gonna say with all youngins winning majors and regular tournament, Lexi must be getting close to being off the team.  I would say she's a shoe-in to get a captain's pick but Stacey seems keen, and Lexi seems indifferent towards golf right now.

Unfortunately, Lexi will qualify through Rolex ranking if she's bumped out of Solheim qualification.

How many from the rankings make it, Lexi is gonna be losing mad points going forward, sure the points greatly depreciated but she failed to replace a 2nd place at the US open with a missed cut.

The top-2 highest Rolex ranked players who didn't qualify will be automatically selected.

 

Currently, Cheyenne Knight Rolex #35 and Jessica Korda #43 are on the list.  Lexi got most of her Rolex points in 2021, she'll stay inside Rolex Top-30 for a long time.

Yin(36) and Ewing(38) were already ahead of Jessica before decent finishes yesterday. Both will move ahead of Knight, and Rose possibly ahead of all four. 

[MJ2712]

Right now, Ally Ewing and Rose Zhang would qualify via the Rolex rankings but it's reaally close. Ewing is #36. Rose is #37, Angel is #38, Cheyenne is #39. Andrea Lee is #43 and then a steeper dropoff to Marina Alex at #61 (not considering Jessica Korda at #47 due to her injury timeout).

 

Lexi is still the 4th highest American in the world rankings so she will be on the team unless something weird happens in the next month.

Silent Brooding Plodders vs. Cocky Killers.  You would think it would be the other way, but in this one the Euros are the Cocky Killers.  Don't see many killers on the U.S. Team.

As of now:

 

 

[WorkItBothWays]

Both teams look really strong.

Mega Kang has been around LPGA for around 9 years.  She's hasn't won anything, but yet she lingers around the top.

 

At least I don't think she's won anything in LPGA

She plays well in majors, 3 top 10s alone this season. No wins yet but her career earnings are impressive.  She probably pays the bill when her and Annie go out for lunch.

Did Cheyenne Knight not get any points toward Solheim for winning the Dow team event?
