Olympic Golf Second-Round Tee Times – Soft conditions at Le Golf National led to a relatively low-scoring first round in the quest for golf gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The top two players in the world, Americans Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler, continued their strong recent form, with both players inside the top 10 after the first round of play.
Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama fired a bogey-free 63 (-8) to take the first-round lead. A few other notable first-round performances came from South Korea’s Tom Kim (-5) and England’s Tommy Fleetwood (-4).
From tee times to T.V. and streaming information, here’s all you need to know about Friday’s second round of the 2024 Olympic men’s golf competition.

More Information on Olympic Men’s Golf and Le Golf National
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will host the men’s golf competition at the Albatros course at Le Golf National. This will be the third Olympic golf tournament since the sport’s return to the Olympics in 2016. The course is known for its challenging layout, which includes narrow fairways, tricky green complexes, and water hazards on 10 holes. Nine players from both the American and European Ryder Cup teams in 2018 will be competing, and 27 out of the 60 golfers have previously played at Le Golf National during the French Open.
The International Golf Federation (IGF) uses the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) to establish the Olympic Golf Rankings (OGR) for eligibility. The top 15 world-ranked players are eligible for the Olympics, with a maximum of four players from the same country. After that, players become eligible based on their world rankings, with a maximum of two players from each country that doesn’t already have two or more players among the top 15. This process continues until 60 athletes are qualified, including continental places.
With only 60 golfers in the tournament and a limit of four players per country, only 20 of the top 50 in the world rankings will participate in Paris. The four American golfers are Scottie Scheffler (the number one player in the world), Xander Schauffele (the defending Gold medal winner), Wyndham Clark (a first-time Olympian), and Collin Morikawa (who lost in a playoff for the Bronze medal in the 2020 Olympics). Other top-10 golfers in the world participating in the event include Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, and Jon Rahm.
Le Golf National has consistently been one of the most challenging courses in the D.P. World Tour rotation. The average winning score over the past ten French Opens has been around 11 under par. In last year’s French Open, only four players managed to finish with four under-par rounds. Former European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke described the course as “a wonderful but fair test. If you get too aggressive, there’s a lot of water in play.” The fairways are lined with links-style pot bunkers, and several greens are surrounded by them.
Many people see similarities between Le Golf National and TPC Sawgrass, including its amphitheater stadium-style viewing areas, its overall length, its emphasis on accuracy and strategy over distance off the tee, and the risk-reward drama on three of the final four holes, including two island greens at 15 and 18. Phil Mickelson described the course before Europe’s victory over the U.S. in 2018 as “phenomenal because it’s got the best viewing of any golf course I’ve seen, as well as the risk-reward. The last four holes are spectacular.”
