For just the third time since 1906, golf is returning to the Olympics this year.
The men’s tournament, which will see 60 golfers hit the links, begins today, August 1. The top 15 golfers in the world automatically qualified by their ranking, which meant Team USA was able to bring the maximum of four golfers to the tournament as they have four players in the top 15.
Among the four is Xander Schauffele, coming off a very recent win at the British Open and defending his gold medal from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Collin Morikawa joins him as the only experienced Olympian on the USA squad.
Below, we outlined everything you need to know to tune in to the men’s golf tournament at the 2024 Olympics.
