SINGAPORE: Growing up, Shannon Tan was often told that golf was an old man’s sport. Her determination to dispel that stereotype has been a strong motivator, propelling her to new heights in her career as she made her debut on the Ladies European Tour (LET) in 2024.

On Monday (June 24), the 20-year-old notched yet another milestone, this time securing her spot at the July 26-Aug 11 Paris Olympics – a first for a Singaporean golfer since the sport returned to the quadrennial event in Rio 2016.
