If there was already lots of anticipation for the Olympic women’s competition at Paris, it’s only been increased after a thrilling final round to the men’s tournament on Sunday at Le Golf National. With a dramatic Sunday showdown that saw the World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler shoot a closing 62 to claim the gold medal, as Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsyuama walked off with the silver and bronze and major champions Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy came away medalless but saying this was one of the most emotional events they’ve played in, Olympic golf is having a moment.
And it’s one that should only continue as the top women’s players in the world take the stage. Thirteen of the top 15 players in the Rolex Women’s World Ranking are in the 60-player field, including World No. 1 and defending gold medalist Nelly Korda of the United States. Meanwhile, French fans who tried to help push Victor Perez to a medal on Sunday have a favorite to root for on the women’s side in Celine Boutier.
The International Golf Federation released the tee times for the first and second rounds, which will be played Wednesday and Thursday with the 72-hole event concluding on Saturday. Players will compete in groups of three with everybody teeing off the first hole.
