Golf will be part of the Olympics for the third straight Games after it made a return following an absence of 112 years back in Rio 2016.
Justin Rose took the gold followed by Xander Schauffele in Tokyo, so the newly-crowned Open champion will also be the defending champion at Le Golf National in Paris.
The men’s Olympic golf tournament will take place from 1-4 August with the women’s event the following Wednesday from 7-10 August.
Schauffele and Rose will be joined by the likes of Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland in the men’s Olympic golf field of 60 chasing the individual strokeplay gold for the men.
While in the women’s Olympic golf event, Nelly Korda is the defending champion and will face competition from Lilia Vu, Rose Zhang and home hope Celine Boutier.
