The Olympic golf competition is an individual stroke play tournament that takes place over four days, with 72 holes played in total.

The golfer with the lowest cumulative score after all four rounds wins the gold medal, with the silver and bronze medals going to the second and third place finishers, respectively.

The format is similar to events on the PGA and LPGA Tours.

Some of the biggest names in the golf world will represent their countries in Paris.

Xander Schauffele has two major wins in 2024. Four years ago, he won the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo.

Can he continue his outstanding season with his second gold?

*odds as of 7/26/24

Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win the gold medal at +310.

He has played 15 events this year, won six times, finished runner-up twice and made the top 10 in 13 of those tournaments. He is the defending Masters champion.

After a very disappointing British Open where he failed to make the cut, Rory McIlroy will look to bounce back in a big way in Paris.

Rory McIlroy was part of a seven-man playoff for the bronze medal at the Tokyo Games, eliminated on the third of four extra holes. “I never tried so hard to finish third,” he said at the time.

He is +700 to win the gold medal for Ireland.
