The stroke play format and no-cut policy
Golf at the Olympic Games follows an individual stroke-play format, similar to events on the PGA and LPGA tours. Players are positioned on the leaderboard according to their score relative to par, and the winner is the player who records the fewest total strokes to complete 72 holes. Both the men's and women's golf tournaments at the Olympics are made up of four 18-hole rounds.
The Olympic Games' stroke-play format includes a no-cut policy, meaning that unlike events on the PGA and LPGA tours, there is no cut after 36 holes. All 60 players in both the men's and women's fields progress to the final two rounds. If two or more players finish with the same score after four rounds, those players will compete in a sudden-death playoff.
The qualification process for the Olympics follows the Olympic Golf Ranking (OGR) system, which relies on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). These rankings are updated weekly based on players' performance in tournaments worldwide. To directly qualify for the Olympic golf competition, players need to rank among the top 15 in the OWGR.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will feature 120 athletes competing in golf, with 60 men and 60 women participating. The men's tournament will be held from August 1 to August 4, while the women's tournament will take place from August 7 to August 10.
Le Golf National, located near Paris, is the venue for the 2024 Olympic golf event. It is renowned for its demanding course and stunning scenery, providing the perfect setting to showcase Olympic golf.

Top golfers competing
Golf has been an Olympic sport since 1900, but its inclusion has been inconsistent. The sport was brought back for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and the 2024 Paris Olympics will be the third consecutive edition to feature golf.
The International Golf Federation (IGF) is the governing body for golf at the Olympic Games. Qualification for the Olympics is determined by the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) for men and the Women's World Golf Rankings. The top 15 golfers of each gender qualify, with a maximum of four from any given country. After that, the highest-ranked players from countries that have not yet qualified two players will fill the remaining spots.
Some of the top golfers competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics include:
- Nelly Korda (USA): World No. 1 and defending gold medalist Nelly Korda will lead the US Women's Olympic Golf Team. She also competed in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
- Xander Schauffele (USA): The Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion and world No. 2 will be a part of the US Men's Olympic Golf Team.
- Scottie Scheffler (USA): The world No. 1 golfer will join Xander Schauffele in representing the USA in the men's competition.
- Collin Morikawa (USA): The two-time major champion will also be a part of the US Men's Olympic Golf Team.
- Wyndham Clark (USA): The 2023 US Open winner will represent the USA in the men's competition.
- Lilia Vu (USA): Lilia Vu will join Nelly Korda on the US Women's Olympic Golf Team.
- Rose Zhang (USA): Rose Zhang will be the third member of the US Women's Olympic Golf Team.

Qualification process
Qualification for Olympic golf is determined by a ranking system. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, there will be 120 athletes competing in the golf competition, with 60 golfers in each of the men's and women's events. This is the same number as Tokyo 2020.
The host nation, France, will secure two quota places, one for a male golfer and one for a female golfer. The other 118 quota places (59 per gender) will be decided by the Olympic Golf Ranking (OGR). No Universality places will be directly allocated as part of the athletes' quota.
The OGR is a subset of the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and the Women's World Golf Rankings (WWGR). Points are awarded based on where players finish in their tournaments. The higher they finish, and the tougher the competition, the more points they earn. The rankings are updated every Monday, and by Tuesday, the International Golf Federation's (IGF) website will show who is leading.
To directly qualify for the Olympic golf competition, players need to rank among the top 15 in the OWGR or WWGR. This guarantees the highest-ranked players a spot in the Olympics, with a maximum of four golfers per country. Beyond the top 15, players will be eligible based on the world rankings, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top 15.
