Olympic women’s golf field: Full list of 60 players who qualified for Paris
Please Share


The 60-player field for the Olympic women’s golf competition is set, with the latest update of the Rolex Rankings.

Three Americans will compete at Le Golf National in Paris, France, Aug. 7-10: Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang, the world Nos. 1, 2 and 9, respectively. Ally Ewing tied fifth at the KPMG Women’s PGA, but she played her final nine holes in 1 over and only jumped to No. 16 in the world rankings, a spot away from becoming an Olympian.

Two players can qualify per country unless they are ranked inside the top 15 in the OWGR, then up to four can earn spots.

South Korea will now get three Olympians after Amy Yang won her first major title Sunday at Sahalee and rose from No. 20 to No. 5 in the Rolex Rankings. She’ll join world No. 3 Jin Young Ko and No. 13 Hyo Joo Kim in Paris.

With Yang giving South Korea three players, that knocked Morocco’s Ines Laklalech, at No. 321 in the world rankings, out.
