Top Canadian golfers Brooke Henderson, Alena Sharp headed to their 3rd Olympics | CBC Sports

Canada’s golf team for the Paris Olympics is complete, with Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp set to play in the women’s event.

Golf Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee made their inclusion official with an announcement on Monday. Henderson and Sharp were the top-ranked Canadians on the world rankings when the qualification window closed Sunday.

It will be the third Olympics for both the 26-year-old Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., and Sharp, 43, from Hamilton.

Henderson, a 13-time winner on the LPGA Tour who is ranked No. 14 in the world, finished tied for seventh when golf returned to the Olympics after a 112-year absence at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. She finished tied for 29th at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Sharp, ranked No. 292 in the world, was 30th in Rio and 40th in Tokyo. She is coming off a bronze-medal win at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.

Nick Taylor and Corey Conners were named to the Canadian Olympic team last week.
