What’s bigger, the Olympics or a major championship?

It’s been the question on everyone’s lips in the buildup to the 2024 Olympic Games, but it doesn’t matter now as the Gold Medal race is about to start.

Le Golf National in Paris, France, is on hosting duty for golf action at the Games, six years after staging the 2018 Ryder Cup.

Team Europe were the victors that year, as Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood put on a show in blue and gold.

The Italians don’t have Molinari this time around, but Fleetwood will lead the Great British charge, joined by fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick.

In total, 60 players are set to line up and represent their respective countries from August 1.

It’s a standard week in terms of competition format, with four days of stroke play action ready to decide the latest medal winners. However, there will be no cut at the halfway stage.

Whether the game should feature in the Games has been hotly debated and its return in 2016 marked the first time it’s been an Olympic sport since 1904.

It’s here to stay, for now at least, so here’s what you need to know about the 2024 event…
