Olympic golf teams by nation: All the players competing at Paris 2024

120 golfers will compete for Olympic gold at Paris 2024

All the golfers who will be competing in men’s and women’s golf at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The U.S. Open concluded the qualification process for the men’s golf competition at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, while the women’s qualifying came to a close a week later at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

60 women and 60 men earned a spot in Paris and will battle it out over four rounds at Le Golf National in August.

Paris 2024 will mark the third consecutive time the Olympics includes golf after its return to the schedule following a 112-year absence. The 2016 Olympics in Rio saw many players withdraw due to the Zika virus, while Tokyo 2020 was impacted by Covid, so 2024 should be the first time the biggest names are all in attendance.

That said, the Olympic qualifying criteria is designed to ensure players from around the world are represented, including a large portion of the field ranked outside the Official World Golf Rankings top 200, so some big names will miss out.

U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is probably the biggest of the lot not to be included, due to four Americans being above him in the OWGR. Fellow LIV golfers Cameron Smith and Sergio Garcia have also seen their world rankings drop and will miss out.

How golfers qualify for the Olympics

A total of 120 golfers will participate in the 2024 Olympics — 60 in the men’s competition and 60 in the women’s – the same number as at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Two spots — one in the men’s field and one in the women’s — were set aside for host nation France.

The Olympics uses the OWGR to select the rest of its participants.

The top 15 players in the OWGR automatically qualify for the Olympics, though a maximum of four golfers per country can be selected from that group. For example, the United States had nine golfers in the top 15 of the OWGR, but will only take the four highest-ranking members of that group.

Countries that don’t have more than two players inside the top 15 (so every country apart from USA, this time) are permitted two male and two female representatives, provided they fall within the total cutoff size of a 60-player field.
