Golf in Olympic Games

Jon Rahm enters the Paris Olympics with momentum after a recent LIV Golf victory in England, marking his eighth consecutive year of triumphs. While Rahm is optimistic about competing against top players, fellow LIV golfer Carlos Ortiz critiques the Olympic qualification process, labeling it 'unfair' due to ongoing politics in the sport that have affected LIV players' standings. Only two of the seven LIV golfers, including Rahm, qualified in the top half of the Olympic Golf Ranking, largely because the league is ineligible for Official World Golf Ranking points. Meanwhile, the U.S. golf team will showcase eye-catching uniforms designed by Swedish brand J. Lindeberg, aiming to blend American strength with Scandinavian style. Despite initial skepticism surrounding golf's Olympic inclusion, the sport aims to leverage this opportunity to enhance its visibility and prestige. The men's event at Le Golf National kicks off this week, promising to be an exciting competition.
