The women’s Olympic golf competition begins Wednesday at Le Golf National in Paris with American Nelly Korda entering as the defending gold medal winner.
Korda, the current world No. 1, beat Japan’s Mone Inami and Lydia Ko of New Zealand by one shot at the Tokyo Games in 2021. Ko won bronze in Tokyo and silver in Rio in 2016.
Korda will be part of the sixth group to tee off Wednesday at 3:55 a.m. ET as she plays with Jin Young Ko of Korea and China’s Ruoning Yin. Korda has won six times on the LPGA Tour this season, including the Chevron Championship, the second major title of her career.
Lilia Vu (5:55 a.m. ET) and Rose Zhang (3:44 a.m. ET) are the other two Americans in the 60-player field.
France’s Céline Boutier, ranked seventh in the world, will begin her first round in a group with Vu and Amy Yang.

Golf is back for the third straight Olympic Games. After being an event at the 1900 and 1904 Olympics, it did not appear again until Rio 2016.
Like the men, the women’s tournaments will feature 72-hole stroke play. There is no cut, so each of the 60 women participating are eligible to play all four rounds.
The women’s tournament will finish Saturday. Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. won gold in the men’s competition with Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood taking home silver and Hideki Matsuyama of Japan winning bronze.
