The 2024 Paris Olympics women’s golf competition begins Thursday. Let’s look at Team USA and what these three have done this season.
Week two of the 2024 Paris Olympics is here, which means it is time for the women’s competition. They play Aug. 8-11 at Le Golf National, the same track the men just took on this past week.
Sixty women from 33 countries will compete in a 72-hole stroke-play event.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler secured Gold for Team USA in the men’s competition. Will Nelly Korda do the same? She won Gold at the 2021 Tokyo Games, but will the top-ranked female player defend her title?
So brew up a pot of coffee, grab some breakfast, and let’s explore the talents of these three ladies of Team USA.
The top-ranked female golfer in the world, Nelly Korda, is up first for Team USA. She has been on quite a heater this year. Korda won five straight before her sixth LPGA event of the season in seven events.
The 26-year-old won her second career major at the Chevron Championship.
Since that run, though, she has gone ice cold. Korda missed three straight cuts, including at the U.S. Women’s Open and Women’s PGA Championship.
She has played in 12 events this year. In those 12 starts, she has six victories, seven top 10s and eight top 25s. Her worst finish came at the Amundi Evian Championship, where she was T26.
Korda is No. 1 on the LPGA money list. She has won $3,006,871 this season.
2024 wins:
— LPGA Drive On Championship
— FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship
— Ford Championship
— T-Mobile Match Play
— The Chevron Championship
— Mizuho Americas Open
