The golf tournaments at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris ran from 1 to 10 August at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, featuring a total of 120 players (60 per gender) across two medal events. [1] [2] The golf qualification pathway and format for Paris remained the same as the previous two editions with 60 players qualifying for each gender-based event over a four-day-long, 72-hole individual stroke play tournament. The men's event played 1–4 August while the women's side played 7–10 August. [3]

Qualification

Sixty players for each of the men's and women's tournaments qualified for Paris 2024 based on the official IGF world ranking list of 17 June 2024 (for men) and 24 June 2024 (for women). The top 15 world-ranked golf players were selected by name and secured their Olympic places, respecting the four-player limit per NOC. The remaining spots were awarded to the players ranked sixteenth onwards on the list with a maximum of two per NOC. The IGF guaranteed that at least one golfer from the host nation and each geographical region (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) would qualify. [3] [4] [5]
