Olympics 2024 golf on TV: Channel, schedule, live stream
Your guide to golf at the Olympic Games 2024, including TV coverage and schedule.
After a 100 year absence, golf returned to the Olympics in 2016, when Team GB’s Justin Rose won gold. He won’t be playing this time, but plenty of big names have qualified in the top 60 Official Golf World Rankings that decide Olympic eligibility.
Countries cannot send more than 4 competitors no matter how many players they have in the top 60, and some countries Olympic committees won’t send a player unless they’re a realistic medal prospect.

The 120 qualified players in the men’s and women’s events will play four rounds of 18 holes over four days, with a sudden death playoff for a tied score in any of the medal positions.
The competition will be held at Le Golf National, France’s national golfing centre on the outskirts of Paris. The centre contains two separate full size courses and is the traditional venue for the French Open, as well as having hosted the Ryder Cup in 2018.
