American golfers competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics

The 2024 Summer Olympics get underway this week and the golf portion of the games will be a Le Golf National. The men's tournament will take place August 1-4, while the women's tournament will be held from August 7-10. Through the qualification process the United States will have a total of seven golfers (four men and three women) competing in the tournaments. They'll also have both defending gold medalists on their teams this year. Below is a list of the golfers representing Team USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics. MEN'S GOLFERS SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER PACIFIC PALISADES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 18: Scottie Scheffler of the United States reacts to his putt on the eighth green during the final round of The Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club on February 18, 2024 in Pacific Palisades, California.

Scheffler will look to become the first golfer to win both the Masters and Olympic gold in the same year. XANDER SCHAUFFELE KAWAGOE, JAPAN - AUGUST 01: Xander Schauffele of Team United States celebrates with the gold medal during the medal ceremony after the final round of the Men's Individual Stroke Play on day nine of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Kasumigaseki Country Club on August 01, 2021 in Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan.

He enters the 2024 tournament with a bit more hardware in his trophy case after his two major output in 2024. Can Schauffele backup his Claret Jug victory with a successful defense of his gold medal? WYNDHAM CLARK ROME, ITALY - SEPTEMBER 26: Wyndham Clark of Team United States tees off on the tenth hole during a practice round prior to the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf Club on September 26, 2023 in Rome, Italy.

Even though the Olympics doesn't have the strongest field due to the qualifying rules, Clark will be looking to finally perform well in a big event in 2024 as his major season in 2024 included three missed cuts and a T56 in his U.S. Open title defense. COLLIN MORIKAWA KAWAGOE, JAPAN - AUGUST 01: Collin Morikawa of Team United States plays his shot from the first tee during the final round of the Men's Individual Stroke Play on day nine of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Kasumigaseki Country Club on August 01, 2021 in Kawagoe, Saitama, Japan.

He fell short of a bronze medal in the 2020 games after losing to C.T. Pan on the fourth playoff hole. WOMEN'S GOLFERS NELLY KORDA KAWAGOE, JAPAN - AUGUST 07: Nelly Korda of Team United States celebrates with the gold medal at the victory ceremony after the final round of the Women's Individual Stroke Play on day fifteen of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Kasumigaseki Country Club on August 07, 2021 in Kawagoe, Japan. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) Korda had a terrific summer in 2021 and that included a gold medal at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo (they kept the 2020 name even though the games were delayed a year). The current world number one will be looking to regain her early 2024 form at the 2024 Summer Games and defend her gold medal at Le Golf National. LILIA VU CASARES, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 22: Lilia Vu of Team USA lines up a putt on the sixth green during Day One of The Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin Golf Club on September 22, 2023 in Casares, Spain.

The two-time major champion had a big 2023, but an injury slowed her 2024 season early on. Since returning from injury she has found the winner's circle again and now she'll be looking to add a gold medal to her trophy case in Paris. ROSE ZHANG CASARES, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 23: Rose Zhang of Team USA hits from the fifth fairway during Day Two of The Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin Golf Club on September 23, 2023 in Casares, Spain. (Photo by Angel Martinez/Getty Images) Much like Vu, Zhang will be representing the U.S.A. in the Olympics for the first time in her career. Zhang got herself into the Olympics by picking up two wins within a year of turning pro and climbing the world rankings. She'll try to become the first golfer to win both the Augusta National Women's Amateur and an Olympic gold medal in their career.
