The Olympic Golf Rankings will decide which 120 male and female players will make up the two fields at the 2024 Games in Paris.

Here’s how the qualification system works, and who has booked their ticket to France already…

Olympic Golf Qualification: How does it work?

The Olympic Golf Ranking follows a similar system to the Official World Golf Ranking and Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

Players qualify on the following criteria:

  • Top 15 in the OWGR/WWGR are eligible
  • No more than four players can be selected from a given nation
  • Outside the top 15, “players will be eligible based on the world rankings, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top 15”

• New format proposed for 2028 Olympic Games

• LPGA star to miss Olympics over brutal mistake
