The men’s golf field for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games has been finalized, with the event just a month away. The women’s field is also set and features a star-studded lineup.
After the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the Olympic roster was determined with players like Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, and Rose Zhang qualifying for Paris 2024.
The women’s golf tournament at the Paris Games will be a four-day competition following the stroke play rules seen in major golf tournaments. Medals will be awarded to the top three players with the fewest strokes after four days of play.
American Nelly Korda, the current top-ranked women’s golfer, will aim to defend the gold medal she won in the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
