Minjee Lee gives up her Australian citizenship to pursue a million-dollar contract with the US team (video)

Today, August 7, Minjee Lee will tee off alongside the other women in the field for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Once they begin, they’ll be in tournament mode.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Lee finished tied for 29th after shooting four-under for the weekend. In 2016, she tied for eighth. This year, she is aiming for more.

She spoke on her appearance this time around:

“I guess the biggest honor that you could have in terms of playing for your country – I know week in, week out we do play for Australia but we’re not playing for Australia. 

I feel like it’s just a little bit different. The atmosphere is a little different.”

Lee also spoke on the change in schedule compared to regular tournaments, 

since they start on a Wednesday rather than a Thursday and since they begin playing so quickly after the men did at the same venue.

She also added that 2016 being the first year in over a century to host Olympic golf made it unique. 2020’s edition had all the COVID-19 protocols, which made it rather unique as well:

“Paris will be like a proper experience of like how an Olympics should be. I think the experience will be a little bit different.”

Lee is one of the few who have competed in all three editions of the modern game. The only other iteration of Olympic women’s golf was in 1904 before it was left out for over a century.
