Golf at Paris Olympics 2024: Latest odds, favourites and picks

The men’s Olympic golf competition is set to tee off on Thursday, August 1, at the Le Golf National in Paris, France. The event will see 60 golfers from 32 countries, including 2021 Olympic gold medal winner Xander Schauffele, compete against each other at the course that hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup.

The event, which presents gold, silver and bronze medals to the top-three finishers on the leaderboard, is headlined by World No.1 Scottie Scheffler. Unsurprisingly, the top-rated golfer is also the favorite to win the competition. The reigning Masters champion comes into the Paris golf event with 34-1 odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

It is pertinent to note that the US has four PGA Tour golfers representing the country at the Olympics and three of them are in the top five odds list. Schauffele, who returns this year to defend his gold medal, sits second on the list behind Scheffler. The 30-year-old, who won the PGA Championship and The Open Championship this year, comes in with 60-1 odds.

Collin Morikawa is having a good season so far. The 27-year-old, who finished fourth in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finished T3 at the Masters and T4 at the PGA Championship this season. He comes into the competition with 120-1 odds. Rory McIlroy, who represents Northern Ireland, has 70-1 odds, while Spain’s Jon Rahm has 90-1 odds.

Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg (120-1), Ireland’s Shane Lowry (160-1), Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood (200-1), Norway’s Viktor Hovland (220-1), Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (220-1), South Korea’s Tom Kim (260-1), Chile’s Joaquin Niemann (290-1) and Canada’s Corey Conners (290-1) are some other golfers to watch this weekend in Paris.

USA’s fourth team member Wyndham Clark sits behind them on the list with 340-1 odds.
