Competition for S. Korean Olympic team heating up

OCALA, Fla. – Winning the Coates Golf Championship this week will be more difficult than winning an Olympic gold medal.

A bunch of LPGA events this year will feature stronger, deeper fields than women will see in Rio de Janeiro this summer.

The Coates Golf Championship is host to 42 of the top 60 players in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings. If the Olympics were played today, it would be host to only 26 of the top 60.

While the Olympics won’t feature the deepest field in women’s golf, the games will feature a deeply diverse field with so many different nations represented.
