Olympic qualification is determined by the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), with the top 15 players gaining automatic entry and up to two eligible players per country beyond that threshold. Aditi, currently ranked 24th, and Diksha, ranked 40th, have successfully earned their places based on these criteria.

Diksha Dagar stands out not only for her qualification but also for her unique achievements. She is the only golfer to have competed in both the Olympics and the Deaflympics, where she has won two medals. Additionally, Diksha is the second Indian woman to triumph on the Ladies European Tour (LET) after Aditi, and she holds the record as the youngest to win at just 18 years old.

With such a strong lineup, India looks forward to a promising performance in golf at the Paris Olympics 2024.
