Men's Golf at Paris 2024 Starts August 1

Golf will make its fifth appearance in the Olympics at the 2024 Paris Games, continuing its inclusion since its return in 2016 after a long hiatus. The men's golf event will be held from August 1-4 at Le Golf National, featuring top players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele, although notable names like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka missed qualification. The competition follows a 72-hole stroke-play format, and future Olympic events could introduce a mixed team format. Golfers are finding unique inspiration from participating in the Olympics, interacting with athletes from other sports, and the shared experience is seen as increasingly valuable. This year's competition is expected to deliver memorable moments akin to past highlights, such as Xander Schauffele’s gold in 2020 and Justin Rose’s dramatic win in 2016.
