Olympics: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm lead field of men’s golf contenders

Many of golf’s biggest names are headed to Paris to compete in the Olympics.

Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are among the notable names who have made the full 60-man Olympic field, which was announced Tuesday morning.
Xander Schauffele, who won the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, is also a part of the field. The other two American participants are Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark. Since the Olympic qualifying formula is based on the Official World Golf Rankings, Bryson DeChambeau — who plays on the non-OWGR-tracked LIV Golf tour — won’t be part of the team.
The two-year qualification period for the men’s golf competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has concluded with today’s publication of the final men’s Olympic Golf Rankings.
