Eighteen of the 24 golfers who will play in next month's Solheim Cup have been decided, with only wildcard selections remaining for Europe and the USA.
Europe captain Carin Koch will name her four additional picks on Tuesday, hours after American skipper Juli Inkster finalises her last two selections.
Suzann Pettersen, Gwladys Nocera, Charley Hull and Melissa Reid had already secured their places via the European Tour points list, and they were joined by four more players on Sunday.
Anna Nordquist, Azahara Munoz and Sandra Gal were already in good shape heading into the Canadian Pacific Women's Open, and it was Carlota Ciganda of Spain who claimed the final spot ahead of France's Karine Icher.
That leaves Koch with some tough decisions to make, with a number of players from the 2013 win in Colorado failing to qualify for this year's tournament, which takes place at the St Leon Rot course in Germany.
Sweden's Caroline Hedwall, the only player to ever go 5-0 in a Solheim Cup, failed to make it along with Scotland's Catriona Matthew, Germany's Caroline Masson, Beatriz Recari of Spain and England's Jodi-Ewart Shadoff.
Inkster has two picks to make on Monday evening, although she has already said she will select the next two players in line from the standings.
Gerina Piller, Alison Lee and Lizette Salas were the last three players to claim their places, joining Stacy Lewis, Lexi Thompson, Cristie Kerr, Michelle Wie, Brittany Lincicome, Morgan Pressel and Angela Stanford.
The top two players outside those already qualified are Brittany Lang and Paula Creamer.
