Indian golfing stars Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar on Monday clinched their spots for the upcoming Paris Olympics through the world rankings.

This dynamic duo will join Shubhankar Sharma and Gaganjeet Bhullar, forming a formidable four-member Indian team for the much-anticipated event, slated from July 26 to August 11. Aditi, marking her third Olympic appearance, stands as the most experienced player in the team, while Diksha gears up for her second participation. For Sharma and Bhullar, it will be their debut on the Olympic stage.

India's top Olympic performance in golf came from Aditi, who placed fourth in the Tokyo 2020 Games. Entries are submitted by the Indian Golf Union, based on rankings, restricted to 60 players each in the men's and women's categories through the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Notably, Aditi holds the 24th position, and Diksha secured her spot as the 40th ranked player, making her the only golfer to compete in both the Olympics and the Deaflympics.
