2024 Summer Olympics men’s golf course information
Le Golf National is a par-71, measuring 7,174 yards. The club has hosted the DP World Tour’s Open de France in 29 of the last 31 iterations. In addition, Le Golf National was the site for the 2018 Ryder Cup.
During the 2018 Ryder Cup, Team Europe defeated Team USA 17.5-10.5. Therefore, some of those players who competed in that Ryder Cup have made their way back for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
However, the course difficulty will be on display with slick greens, tight and hilly fairways and links-style bunkers. As a result, players will need to control their drives and be able to scramble out of the bunkers, score on the par-5s and do their best to not add strokes on their scorecard. The finishing four holes is the biggest stretch with water in play. As a result, the players need to have the accuracy at that particular time.
Who are some of the top golfers in the 2024 Summer Olympics?
Eight of the top 10 players in the world are competing. As a result, they are highlighted by Schauffele and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who are representing Team USA. Also competing for the United States are Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark.
Rory McIlroy of Ireland, Jon Rahm of Spain, and Viktor Hovland of Norway will also be teeing it up at the Summer Olympics.
In addition, Pan returns looking to defend his bronze medal or go after a different medal. However, Sabbatini did not qualify for this year’s Summer Olympics to defend his silver medal.
Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood are representing Team Great Britain while Hideki Matsuyama and Keita Nakajima represent Team Japan.
Representing the home country of France is Matthieu Pavon and Viktor Perez. As a result, Pavon and Perez will get the opprotunity to compete for a gold medal in front of the home crowd.
