The 2024 Olympics men’s golf competition is in the books and the U.S. has added to its massive lead on the medal table.
Scottie Scheffler shot a final-round 62 at Le Golf National to finish at 19 under and clinch the top prize by a shot over Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood, who won his nation’s second-ever silver medal. Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama won bronze, the second-ever medal in golf for his country.
Only 10 nations in all have earned a medal in the five renditions of golf in the Olympics. The first two times were 1900 and 1904, then there was a 112-year hiatus before returning in 2016.
The U.S. has won back-to-back men’s golds and the women look to duplicate the feat. Nelly Korda won gold in 2021, and she joins Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang in the women’s competition, Aug. 7-10.
