As was the case with the men’s competition, the Olympic women’s tournament takes place at Le Golf National, home of the DP World Tour’s French Open and also the scene of the 2018 Ryder Cup, won by Europe. The Albatros Course has been shortened to a 6,374-yard par-72 for the women’s contest and while Scottie Scheffler tied the course record on Sunday, this remains a tough layout that puts a premium on accuracy. Let’s get into my Olympics Women’s Golf best bets and take a look at the odds.

Olympics Women’s Golf picks and predictions
Lilia Vu (+900)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Reigning champion Nelly Korda dominated the first few months of the LPGA season, winning 6 titles in 7 events from January to May, but she tees it up in the Olympics with form figures of MC-MC-MC-26 from her last 4 tournaments. While she’s more than capable of finding her rhythm, Korda might not outperform her fellow American Lilia Vu, who looks a better fit for Le Golf National.
Vu rose to stardom last season, winning the Chevron Championship and the Women’s British Open. Major success has eluded her this year but she won the Meijer LPGA Classic in June and was a runner-up at the Women’s PGA Championship the following week. A greens-in-regulation machine and one of the most accurate drivers in this field, Vu is one of the leading medal contenders.
Celine Boutier (+2000)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook and Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.
British hopes are pinned on Celine Boutier, who was born in Paris and knows every blade of grass at Le Golf National, where she was based as a teenager. Boutier won 4 times on the LPGA Tour last season, including her home Evian Championship. Her 2024 campaign has not been anywhere near as impressive but her straight-hitting style is ideal for this venue and she’s been making cuts consistently.
