Xander Schauffele looks to defend his gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in men's golf.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are finally here, which means it's time for the United States to try to defend its gold medal when the tournament kicks off on Aug. 1.
The other two Americans are no slouches either. Collin Morikawa has finished no worse than T-16 in any of the four majors this calendar year, which included a T-3 and T-4 at the Masters and PGA Championship, respectively. While the United States should be in strong position to medal, there will be plenty of competition on the world stage.Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry have both been in excellent form in 2024, and should have their say in Paris with plenty of motivation. McIlroy did not play well at The Open, but cameclose to capturing his first major in a decade at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst earlier this summer. Lowry led The Open in Scotland after two rounds, and finished solo 6th.
Sweden remains a dark horse with up-and-coming star Ludvig Aberg, who has quickly ascended into a top five player in the world in his first full season on the PGA Tour. He's a star, and he highlights a Swedish team that also includes Alex Noren, who has been in the mix in plenty of big tournaments with loaded fields throughout his career.
