There will be a golf competition at the Summer Olympics for the third time in a hundred years.

Before a 112-year hiatus, it made its debut at the 1900 Games and remained until the Summer Olympics of 1904. In 2016, the sport made a comeback.
After hosting the Ryder Cup in 2018, Le Golf National, a par-72, 7,331-yard course in a southwest suburb of Paris, will play home to golf at the 2024 Summer Olympics. A little different about the tournament qualification process is that, although it is based on the Official World Golf Ranking, countries can only enter a maximum of four golfers apiece. Only the players rated in the top 15 automatically.
As long as they were in the top four for their nation, they were eligible. Following that, the remaining players were selected based on rating, with a maximum of two players per country and a minimum of one representative for each continent.
This qualifying system prevented No. 8 in the world and fifth-ranked American Patrick Cantlay from qualifying, but No. 378 in Finland Tapio Pulkkanen did. Despite this, there are eight of the world’s top 10 players and every one of the top seven golfers on the field for the tournament.
Among the top six players in the world are Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, and Scottie Scheffler, who make up the U.S. contingent.
