Diksha Dagar currently ranks 5th on the LET’s Order of Merit
Diksha Dagar’s win on the Ladies European Tour and other top 10 finishes this season jumped her to 43rd on the Olympics Women’s Ranking which considerably brightens her chance of an automatic invitation alongside Aditi Ashok at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
If she continues her current hot form, she can jump further up the rankings in the three events she will be playing in Europe over the next three weeks in Ireland, Netherlands and Switzerland. A top 10 finish on the final LET Order of Merit (OOM), will earn her a ticket to the final stage of the US LPGA Qualifying Tournament in the first week of December.
