2024 has been a season of mixed results for Nelly Korda. While Korda started the season strong and won five consecutive events, her form has dropped in recent times. In her last three events on the LPGA Tour, Korda failed to make the cut.

After she missed the recently concluded KPMG Women's PGA Championship, many wondered if Nelly Korda would be playing for Team USA at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics. The answer to this question is yes.

Along with Korda, World No. 2 Lila Vu and World No. 9 Rose Zhang will also be playing for Team USA in the event which will feature 60 women golfers. After the announcement that Korda would be playing for the USA went viral, in a USA Golf release the 25-year-old said she was honored to represent USA.

Nelly Korda said:

"I'm honored to represent the United States once again on the Olympic stage this summer in Paris. Winning the gold medal in Tokyo was a dream come true and an incredible highlight to my career."

The 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, will begin on July 26th. However, the women's golf tournament will begin on August 7th and conclude on August 10th. It will be interesting to see if Nelly Korda can win her second Olympic gold after previously winning one at the Tokyo Olympics.
