The women's golf event, which after the men's, takes place on the Olympic course in Barra da Tijuca on the outskirts of the host city from 17-20 August and will be contested over four rounds of stroke play.

This year marks golf's inclusion in the Summer Games for the first time since 1904, and Hong Kong-born Chan, a product of the Hong Kong Golf Association's junior development programme, said representing Hong Kong on the biggest sporting stage of them all filled her with equal measures of pride and confidence.

"Making it to the Olympics is a potentially once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I couldn't be happier in the knowledge that I'm going to be an Olympic athlete, playing golf for Hong Kong against the world's greatest players in front of a huge global audience," said the Hong Kong Golf Association National Squad star.
