Amy Yang took home a title at Sunday's Women's PGA Championship marking the first major win of her career. The victory also cemented her spot in the 2024 Olympics as part of South Korea's golf team.
The women's Olympic golf field was finalized after play finished at the PGA Championship. The men's side had already been finalized after the U.S. Open, so the 120 golfers (60 men, 60 women) set to compete in Paris are officially set.
Team USA will take up seven of those 120 spots, as four men qualified for the competition and three women. Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang will be tasked with competing for gold in the women's competition, and Korda — the No. 1 player in the world and reigning Olympic gold medalist — will give the United States the best chance to do that.
In total, 33 countries will send a female golfer to the Olympics. Here's a look at how qualifying works for Olympic golf and the full, 60-player women's field for Paris 2024.

How to qualify for the 2024 Olympics in golf
A total of 120 golfers will participate in the 2024 Olympics — 60 in the men's competition and 60 in the women's. That's the same number each had during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics — and countries will be limited to a maximum of four golfers in each field.
Two spots — one in the men's field and one in the women's — will be set aside for France, which is hosting the Olympic Games. The rest are determined by the most common world rankings system used in men's and women's golf.
The Olympics uses the Rolex rankings to help select its participants in the women's field.
The top 15 players in the Rolex automatically qualify for the Olympics, though a maximum of four golfers per country can be selected from that group. No country has more than three women inside the top 15, so each of the top 15 female golfers in the world will compete in Paris.
After selecting participants from the top 15, the Olympic committee looks at the golfers outside the top 15. Up to two players per country can be selected from this group — provided the country represented does not already have two or more golfers chosen for a squad.
For example, the United States has Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang ranked inside the top 15 of the Rolex rankings. They are unable to take any more participants despite having other highly-ranked golfers in the field. The same is true of South Korea, which has three golfers in the top 15, and Australia, which has two.
That process can get a bit confusing, but the easiest way to remember this is that only the countries with three-plus golfers in the top 15 will be able to take more than two participants to Paris. As a result, there aren't any teams competing with more than three golfers, even though a country can bring a maximum of four to the Summer Games.
