After the men’s Olympics golf tournament, it’s the turn of the women to compete for medals at Le Golf National as 60 players compete over four days of strokeplay at the Albatros Course.
In total, 20 groups of three will compete each day, and one of the strongest sees American Nelly Korda, who claimed the gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, play alongside South Korea’s Jin Young Ko and China’s Ruoning Yin. The three begin at 3.55am EDT (8.55am BST) in the opening round with a tee time of 5.55am EDT (10.55am BST) on Thursday.

They get underway at 3.44am EDT (8.44am BST) in the first round and 5.44am EDT (10.44am BST) in the second round.
