After a two-year rolling qualification period, the Olympic Golf Rankings (OGR) for the men’s competition at this summer’s Games in France has concluded.
The men’s Olympic Golf Ranking features 60 qualifiers representing 32 different countries.
With four qualifiers (Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa), the United States of America is the only country with more than two qualifiers for the 60-player field, which will compete at Le Golf National, site of the 2018 Ryder Cup, from August 1-4.
The host country – France – was guaranteed at least one spot, as is each of the five continents of the Olympics. Two men qualified to represent Team France at Paris 2024: Matthieu Pavon and Victor Perez.
This summer’s competition marks the fifth time golf has been featured as an Olympic sport and just the third time since 1904.
Only four men have qualified for each of the last three Olympic golf competitions: Ryan Fox of New Zealand, Gavin Green of Malaysia, C.T. Pan of Chinese Taipei and Fabrizio Zanotti of Paraguay.
Xander Schauffele is set to defend the title he won in Japan in 2021.
Here, we take a look at the qualifiers set to compete for gold this summer in Paris, with the DP World Tour members highlighted in bold.*
