In both of the Paris 2024 Olympic golf events, there are 120 players from 32 nations competing across four days of individual stroke play.
Due to there only being 60 golfers per tournament, there will not be a halfway cut at Le Golf National, giving each person the chance to fully bathe in the Olympic experience and retain the chance of winning a medal.
The field for each tournament was set back in June after the final tournament in the Olympic Golf Ranking qualification period was completed. Players had been given around two years to secure as many points as possible in order to book a spot on their Olympic team.
Once the average points tally per athlete was finalized, the Olympic Golf Ranking positions were set. The top-15 in the Official World Golf Ranking were exempt from this category, however, but that maxed out at four golfers per country.
And, per the Olympic website, "After the top 15, the Olympic Golf Rankings (OGR) consist of up to the top two eligible players per country, as long as that country does not already have at least two players in the top 15."
As a result, only four of the nine American men inside the World's top-15 at the time were eligible to represent the Stars and Stripes in France - with World No.1, 3, 5, and 7 (as of June 17) given the nod.
Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Collin Morikawa will tee it up for the USA at Le Golf National while Patrick Cantlay (World No. 8), Bryson DeChambeau (10), Brian Harman (11), Sahith Theegala (14), and Max Homa (15) watch on from afar.

It is a similar story in the women's Olympic golf event, too, with a couple of nations - one of which being the USA - sending three competitors over to Paris.
World No.1 Nelly Korda, World No.2 Lilia Vu, and World No.9 Rose Zhang are a part of the US Olympic squad's sizeable delegation. The other country to have three golfers in the 60-player field is South Korea. Jin-young Ko leads the Korean squad alongside Amy Yang and Hyo-joo Kim.
Many other countries in both the men's and women's event have two golfers representing them - including Ireland, which has Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry - while some only have one.
The men's tournament takes place first between Thursday August 1 and Sunday, August 4 before the women follow suit between Wednesday, August 7 and Sunday 10.
