The Olympic Golf Competition is coming up soon. 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 Week 43 (July 21-27) is finalized, 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 set in stone.

The Olympic Qualifying Tournament will fill the rest of the field (65 total) with a max of 2 players per country in the field. We will also make 1 extra slot available from any country that has 2 or more auto-qualifiers. Currently that's USA and England but could change. Every country will have at least 1 qualifying slot available in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

All tour card holders will be in the Qualifying field - Platinum members included.

Projected Qualifiers
As of July 17 the following countries hold automatic qualifiers by way of the Top 15 WGR metric. *subject to change
USA (4)
England (2)
United Kingdom (1)
Belgium (1)
Ireland (1)
Sweden (1)
Japan (1)
Wales (1)

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

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!

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?

Where and when will be declared the qualified players ? Sorry, but I’m pretty new to this...

sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:48 GMT -5 *

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:00 GMT -5

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:31:35 GMT -5
