The men's golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics gets underway on Thursday at Le Golf National.
Masters champ Scottie Scheffler, two-time 2024 major champion and reigning gold medalist Xander Schauffele, and 26-time PGA Tour winner Rory McIlroy — the top three ranked players in the world — headline the 60-person field. The competition will be a 72-hole lowest score event, a la the PGA Tour.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will mark just the third time golf has featured in the Summer Games.
“It would probably be one of, if not the biggest in my career for the last 10 years,” surmised McIlroy, who is seeking his first medal. “I'd say my focus is pretty high. … I think as golf is in the Olympics for a longer period of time, it will become — I don't know if anything will be able to sit alongside the majors. We have our four events a year that are the gold standard. But I think this is going to be, in time, right up there amongst that.”
Scheffler is one of four Americans in the field, along with Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Wyndham Clark.
“It would be extremely special to have a gold medal and it's definitely one of the reasons why I'm here this week. I didn't come here to — I love going to watch table tennis yesterday but that's not why I showed up,” Scheffler said.
“I try to place an equal amount of value to all the tournaments I play. I feel like that any time I show up, I'm trying to do my best, and that's definitely the case this week. It's definitely special to be part of the Olympics and I'm looking forward to the chance to compete for a medal for our country.”
