After the major 'Women's PGA Championship' opens tomorrow, participation will be decided based on rankings.
Will Shin Ji-ae and Yang Hee-young be able to grab the last line to go to the Paris Olympics?
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship, the third major tournament of the LPGA Tour season, will be held for four days starting on the 20th at Sahalee Country Club (par 71) in West Mamish, Washington. The female players participating in the Paris Olympic Golf will be determined according to the world rankings announced on the 24th after this tournament.
The top two players in the world rankings from each country participate in the Olympic Golf, in which 60 male and female players each participate. However, if there are more than two players in the top 15, up to four players can participate in the Olympics. Four Korean players each participated in the women's games at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, where Olympic golf was revived, and the 2021 Tokyo Games.
Currently, among Korean players, Ko Jin-young is the highest ranked at 7th, and Kim Hyo-joo is second at 12th. The two athletes have virtually secured tickets to the Olympics. The next ranked players, Shin Ji-ae (24th) or Yang Hee-young (25th), must finish at least as runners-up in this competition to participate in the Olympics. 카지노사이트
The golf world ranking is determined by the average points accumulated in competitions over the past two years divided by the number of appearances. Lydia Go (New Zealand), currently ranked 15th, has 3.97 points, Ji-ae Shin has 3.25 points, and Hee-young Yang has 3.19 points. If they win this competition and receive 100 ranking points, both Shin Ji-ae and Yang Hee-young can receive tickets to Paris. If you come in second place (60 points), you must consider the ranking of the winner. If 37th-ranked Kim Se-young (2.39 points) also wins, she can go to the Olympics.
There is also interest in whether Korean players who have never lifted a championship trophy during the 15 tournaments of the LPGA Tour season will be able to report their first win. Korean players are continuing their longest winless streak in 24 years since 2000. In 2000, Ji-eun Park (retired) earned his first win at the Cash Island Greens.com Classic, his 16th competition.
Since Jeon In-ji won the tournament two years ago, no Korean player has won a major tournament on the LPGA Tour. Up to Jeon In-ji, Korean players have won this competition a total of 9 times, and 21 players will participate in this year's competition to attempt to win for the 10th time. 슬롯사이트 순위
