Dates, times, format, how to watch women’s competitions

This is the third time since we were reinstated, and the fourth time overall, that women’s golf has been held at the Olympics.

The 60-woman field is in Paris to face Le Golf National, host of the 2018 Ryder Cup. The American team includes gold medalist and World No. 1 Nelly Korda, along with Lilia Vu (No. 2) and Rose Zhang (No. 9).

Competitions will begin on Wednesday, August 7th, with medals being awarded on Saturday, August 10th, following a 72-hole stroke play tournament.

Last week, Le Golf National hosted the men’s tournament, where World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler won the gold medal.
