    I thought it was a maximum 2 players from every country for the Olympics men’s golf. It looks like there’s 3 USA players in it? Scheffler Schaufelle and Morikawa

    The qualification rules state that the top 15 players on the OWGR are eligible for the Olympic Games, up to a maximum of four golfers from a single country.

    There are actually four players from the USA in the 2024 Olympics - Wyndham Clark is also playing. Without the four player limit, there would be ten golfers in total from the USA as Cantlay, DeChambeau, Theegala, Henley, Hartman and Homa were all in the top 15 at the cut off point

    After the top 15, the Olympic Golf Rankings (OGR) consist of up to the top two eligible players per country, as long as that country does not already have at least two players in the top 15.

    The overall field is restricted to the top 60 based on the above criteria.

    He's represented Ireland in the olympics in 2021 and this year. He is indeed an olympian. It is a fact and isn't subjective in any way.

    If I was Shane I'd honestly be embarrassed to meet someone like Adeleke in the Olympic village as if he is some sort of olympic role model.

    lol

    Seriously. He qualified like everyone else. He's entitled to go. There's no reason to be embarrassed. Like zero reason.

    Not a great day for Shane. 8 off the lead. A real open stance on putting for the little I saw
