The Olympic Golf Competition is coming up next week. Members that make this field will be able to play in the Olympic event as well as their main tour event during the same week.

Once the current week is finalized (July 25), the top 15 players in our WGR will be eligible for the Olympics up to a maximum of four golfers per country. I have listed the projected qualifying slots taken based on the WGR as it stands today. It's not likely to change much but it's not set in stone.

This week we are running an Olympic Qualifying Tournament to fill the rest of the field. After the top 15, the field will be filled until getting to 61 golfers by going down the Olympic Qualifying Leaderboard, with the top two ranked players qualifying from any country that does not have two or more players from the top 15.

We will also take 1 extra qualifier from USA, Canada, England and Australia so that every country has at least 1 qualifying slot available in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.


Projected Qualifiers
As of July 18 the following countries hold automatic qualifiers via our WGR by way of the Top 15 metric. *subject to change
USA (4)
Canada (3)
England (3)
Australia (2)
Italy (1)

Realize that it sounds pretty convoluted...but it basically boils down to a maximum of 2 golfers per country with extra slots for those countries that have golfers in the top 15 WGR.

I realise I am no chance to qualify, but this is a pretty awesome idea. Great work. Looking forward to cheering on my fellow Aussies next week !

[Riotous]

Great idea, perhaps top 200 from each country and I’d get a look in!

[trentmcneely]

So if you're not top 15 WGR, you would need to finish in the top spot for your country in the qualifier to get a guaranteed spot, with 2nd possibly getting a spot? Did I read that right?

I believe if your country is maxed out on slots from the top 15 then it is only one spot. So if you are in the US there is only 1 spot up for grabs assuming the WGR doesn’t change the numbers in the OP this week

Doyley any reason why I am not entered in the qualifying tournament even though I am ranked in the 200s in the WGR? Not sure if I missed something lol. Thanks!

Depending on what country you're from, yes.  I'm Canadian and there are 3 Canadians in the top 15 so based on the information below, there will be 1 spot available for low Canadian in the qualifier.  There will be two spots available for countries that are not USA, Canada, England or Australia.  At least that's how I read it and if I've read it right, it's basically mirroring the Olympic tournament IRL.  Very cool!

How does qualifying work for the UK? Will England, Scotland, Wales, and NI all have their own teams or will they combine like in the irl Olympics to make a UK based team?

My scores are not showing either, Doyley?

[Doyley]

Looks like Platinum players didn't make the field initially, we're adding them shortly.

[Cecil Harvey]

Good luck to all trying to qualify!

I’m away until Friday, can I play all my rounds then since there is no cut?

Sorry, but I’m pretty new to this...
