Former U-M Golfer Tagged for 2024 Olympics

Former University of Michigan All-American women's golfer and current Epson Tour professional Ashley Lau secured a spot to compete for her native country of Malaysia at the XXXIII Olympic Games in Paris.

“It’s simply an incredible achievement; It’s hard to put into words,” said U-M Women’s coach Jan Dowling. “It wasn’t too long ago that golf wasn’t even part of the Olympics, but since its return in 2016, the prestige keeps building in our sport. There may not be a higher honor in sport than to represent your country on the world stage, and Ashley is flying that Malaysian flag with great pride. Michigan golf’s first Olympian is quite thrilling, and we are excited to cheer her on in Paris.”

In her legendary Michigan career, Lau started all 43 of her career events, carrying a U-M record 73.24 scoring average. A four-time medalist, a U-M record, Lau was a two-time Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American (2021, '22).

Helping U-M win its first-ever Big Ten title in 2022, Lau was named the program's first Big Ten Golfer of the Year.
