SAMMAMISH, Wash. – The Paris Olympics is so close, gold medalist Nelly Korda can practically taste the croissants. The cutoff for the 60-player field ends after this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA, and there could be a good bit of last-minute shuffling.
Team USA currently consists of three players but that could jump to four. The top 15 players in the world are eligible for Paris, with a limit of four players from any given country.
Currently, no country has four players in the top 15.
The rest of the field will come straight from the rankings, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players in the top 15. The women’s portion of the competition is scheduled for Aug. 7-10, immediately following the men’s event.
The Rolex Rankings will be finalized on Monday. Here’s a look at projections for the weekend:
