SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – The women’s golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics is on tap this week at Le Golf National, and 60 of the world’s best athletes are ready to battle it out for the gold, silver and bronze medals just outside of Paris. Reigning gold medalist and world No. 1 Nelly Korda headlines the field, as does Lydia Ko, who will be continuing her quest for a gold medal, having taken silver in 2016 in Rio and bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Ladies European Tour winner Shannon Tan is also set to compete, becoming the first Singaporean to ever play in any Olympic golf competition, and so is Minjee Lee, whose brother Min Woo teed it up in the men’s competition last week at Le Golf National, ultimately finishing in a tie for 22nd in his Olympic debut.
