The men’s golf field has already been finalized for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which are now about one month away. We also know the women’s field, which is star-studded.
The Olympic roster took shape after the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, with women’s golfers qualifying for Paris 2024. Nelly Korda will be joined by world No. 2 Lilia Vu and No. 9 golfer Rose Zhang.
The women’s golf tournament schedule at the Paris Games will be a four-day competition using the same stroke play rules as golf’s annual major tournaments. During the Olympics, the three golfers with fewest number of strokes after four days of play win medals.
Current top-ranked women’s golfer and American Nelly Korda will be looking to defend the gold medal she won in the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

How the golfers found their way to Paris was quite the process. Sixty players play in each tournament. The top of the field for each competition is made up of the top 15 world-ranked players – as of June 24 for women – with a limit of four top-15 golfers per country. The remaining 45 competitors in each tournament are other top players awarded at-large bids, though each country has a two-player limit for these at-large bids.
OPINION: Nelly Korda, LPGA in prime position to lift women’s golf. So far, they’re whiffing.
