IGF announces 60 qualifiers for Women’s Olympic Golf Competition

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – The two-year qualification period for the women’s golf competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has concluded with today’s publication of the final women’s Olympic Golf Ranking.

The women’s Olympic Golf Ranking features 60 qualifiers representing 33 different countries. The United States of America (Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang) and the Republic of Korea (Jin Young Ko, Amy Yang and Hyo Joo Kim) are the only countries with more than two qualifiers.

The women’s qualification period for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games began on 24 June 2022 and concluded following the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on 23 June 2024. The top 15 world-ranked players were eligible for the Olympics, with a limit of four players from a given country. Beyond the top 15, players were eligible based on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that did not already have two or more players among the top 15. The host country – France – was guaranteed at least one spot, as is each of the five continents of the Olympics. Two women qualified to represent Team France at Paris 2024 based on their top-60 finish in the final women’s Olympic Golf Ranking: Celine Boutier (No. 6 in the Olympic Golf Ranking) and Perrine Delacour (No. 30 in the Olympic Golf Ranking).
