Reigning gold medalist Inbee Park and silver medalist Lydia Ko said they plan to play in the Tokyo Olympics this summer despite Japan's latest COVID-19 surge.
The LPGA Tour returns to Asia this week for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began 13 months ago. Six of the top 10 players in the Rolex Rankings will tee it up at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore.
"Obviously, this year is a very important year for me with the Olympics in August, and my main goal is trying to qualify for the team," Park told reporters Tuesday. "The Korean team is not the easiest team to make."
