Paris 2024 Olympic golf tournament schedules

The Olympic golf tournaments will be scored by stroke play, which consists of counting the number of shots the player has taken to reach the end of the course over four total days of competition.

With 18 holes each day, golfers will play a total of 72 holes, and the player with the fewest number of strokes at the end of the four rounds wins the event.
