Not since the peak days of Tiger Woods has a golfer come into any tournament so far clear of the chasing global pack, but as the 2024 Olympics women's golf competition begins, Nelly Korda is the overwhelming favourite to become the first back-to-back gold medal winner in the sport's history.
Having truly announced herself on the world stage with a Women's PGA Championship victory and gold medal Olympics win within a month of each other in 2021, Korda also comes into the 2024 Games off the back of her second success in a Major Championship.
The 26-year-old was victorious at April's Chevron Championship in Texas, defeating Sweden's Maja Stark and US compatriot Lauren Coughlin with a 13-under-par win. That second Major win, and the $1.2million prize which came with it, will no doubt spur Korda on as she chases her second gold medal.
