World No. 1 and defending gold medalist Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang will represent Team USA

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida – USA GOLF announced the three women that will represent the United States at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, set for August 7-10 at Le Golf National.

The team is highlighted by World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who won the gold medal at the women’s golf competition at the 2020 Olympics Games in Tokyo. In addition to Korda, the women’s trio includes No. 2 Lilia Vu and No. 9 Rose Zhang, who will both make their Olympic Games debuts.

Golf will return to the Olympic Games for just the third time since 1904 after its return in 2016, with fields of 60 players for both men and women in a 72-hole stroke-play format at Le Golf National.

The three athletes qualified for Team USA based on their standing on the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings at the close of the Olympic qualification period following the completion of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

“With the addition of Korda, Vu and Zhang to the team, USA GOLF has an extremely talented group of men and women representing the United States this summer," said USA GOLF Executive Director Andy Levinson. “These three women enter Olympic golf competition with a combined eight victories on the LPGA Tour this season and are poised to reach the podium in Paris.”
