There are 120 players teeing it up at the 2024 Olympic Games in the men's and women's golf events, with 32 different nations being represented, but who are they?

There's a familiar venue in Le Golf National staging the Olympic golf competitions, with the sport involved in the Games for the third time since it's reintroduction in Rio 2016.

There are some huge names that haven't made the Olympic men's golf field given the qualification criteria, which is aimed at getting as many different nations in the event at possible.

The world’s top 15 from men’s golf were technically eligible, but because a maximum of four men are able to compete on any team, some US players have missed out such as Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay and Brooks Koepka.

As a result, the top four of those have made the team – Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, who won the gold medal in the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are one of the bigger named teams, while Jon Rahm plays for Spain, Ludvig Aberg represents Sweden and Viktor Hovland will look for a medal for Norway.

Representing Team GB will be Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick in the men's event while Charley Hull and Georgia Hall will be teeing it up in the women's competition.

World No.1 Nelly Korda is joined by Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang in the USA women's team while Leona Maguire is representing Ireland and Brooke Henderson goes for Canada.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
