A tee-time in the Olympics is slowly becoming a dream for golf’s best players, the 2024 Paris Games marking the third time in the modern era that golf has been part of sports’ biggest world event.
A tee-time in the Olympics is also a rare commodity. Just 60 men qualified for this year’s games and with the Olympic golf tournament a once-every-four-years event, the opportunity to represent your country on this grand stage is a unique one.
As anticipation for this year’s tournament, being held just outside Paris at Le Golf National, host course for the 2018 Ryder Cup and the DP World Tour’s French Open, here are the tee-times – with all players starting on the first hole – for the opening two rounds.
