Meet the 60 qualifiers for the women’s golf competition

The qualification period for the women’s golf competition has concluded and the International Golf Federation has announced the 60 qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Two countries will have three representatives at Le Golf National, as Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang will compete for the United States and Jin Young Ko, Amy Yang and Hyo Joo Kim are slated to play for the Republic of Korea. Yang claimed a last-minute spot in the field after winning her first career major title at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, the final qualifying event for the women’s competition.
