Women’s Olympics Golf Field - World Class Line Up For Paris 2024
The women’s field for Paris 2024 has been confirmed, with 60 players representing 33 nations at Le Golf National


After the third Major of the year, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the women’s field for the Olympics at Le Golf National in Paris was confirmed.
In total, 60 of the world’s best players will tee it up at the event for 33 nations, with the action beginning three days after the end of the men’s tournament, running between 7 and 10 August.
Like the men’s field, qualification was based on world ranking, with the top 15 after the Sahalee Country Club Major eligible, with the caveat that no more than four players can represent any country.
The rest of the selections were made further down the rankings, where no more than two players were eligible for any nation that didn’t already have two or more players in the world's top 15.
The upshot of that is that two nations – USA and South Korea – have three players on their teams thanks to strong representation in the world’s top 15, with Belgium, Colombia, Italy, Malaysia, Morocco the Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore fielding one player each and the remaining nations two players.
In the case of the Netherlands, there was controversy because Anne van Dam had been expected to be joined by Dewi Weber, but the Netherlands Olympic Committee deemed her - as well as men's players Joost Luiten and Darius van Driel - to have “no reasonable chance of a top eight ranking during the Olympic Games,” so she misses out.
Nelly Korda won the gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, and, helped by her six wins so far this season, the World No.1 was never seriously in danger of missing out on a place for the US, despite her form having dipped in recent weeks. She will be joined on the US team by two-time Major winner Lila Vu and Rose Zhang.

The other team with three players, South Korea, will be represented by Jin Young Ko, Hyo Joo Kim and Amy Yang, who booked her place at the last minute thanks to her maiden Major title, which took her 15 places up the world rankings to fifth.

Other big names heading to Paris include Ruoning Yin and Xiyu Lin for China and Celine Boutier for France, who will play alongside Perrine Delacour.
Australia’s Hannah Green secured her a spot alongside Minjee Lee, while Charley Hull will represent Great Britain and Northern Ireland along with Georgia Hall.

Who Is Playing For Team USA At The Olympics?
Lilia Vu is one of three US players in the women's field
Like the men's US team, the women's team is filled with top-class players, none more so than World No.1 and 2020 Olympics gold medal winner Nelly Korda. Also on the US team are two-time Major winner Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang, who already has two LPGA Tour wins to her name despite only turning professional a year ago.
Who Are The Top 5 Women's Teams In The Olympics?
Ruoning Yin is in a strong China team
With three of the world's top 10, it's hard to look beyond the USA as favorites, but some world-class players represent other nations.
One is South Korea, who, in Jin Young Ko, Amy Yang and Hyo Joo Kim, boast four Major wins among 24 LPGA Tour wins between them. China has World No.5 Ruoning Yin and World No.17 Xiyu Lin on its team, while Japan also looks strong with two-time US Women's Open victor Yuka Saso alongside KPMG Women's PGA Championship runner-up Miyu Yamashita. Australia is well represented, too, with three Major wins between its team of Hannah Green and Minjee Lee.
