Golf in Paris Olympics

The men's Olympic golf competition is set to take place from August 1-4 at Le Golf National in Paris, featuring 60 golfers from 32 countries, including defending champion Xander Schauffele and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The format is a 72-hole stroke play with no cut, awarding gold, silver, and bronze medals to the top three finishers. Schauffele, who won gold in Tokyo, aims to be the first to retain the medal since golf was reintroduced to the Olympics, while Scheffler enters as the favorite with odds of 34-1. Other notable competitors include Collin Morikawa and Rory McIlroy, who are also in the top odds to win. The event will be broadcast live on Golf Channel and USA Network, with coverage starting early each day. Le Golf National, known for its challenging layout, has previously hosted significant tournaments including the 2018 Ryder Cup.
