The men's individual golf event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 1 to 4 August 2024 at the Le Golf National. 60 golfers from 33 nations were competing.

Each country could qualify from one to four golfers based on the World Rankings of 17 June 2024. The top 60 golfers, subject to limits per nation and guarantees for the host and continental representation, were selected. A nation could have three or four golfers if they are all in the top 15 of the rankings; otherwise, each nation was limited to two golfers. One spot was guaranteed for the host nation France and five spots were guaranteed to ensure that each Olympic continent has at least one representative.

As with most major stroke play tournaments, the event was held over four days (Thursday through Sunday) with each golfer playing one round (18 holes) per day. However, unlike most tour events, there is no cut to the field after day two, with all players playing all four rounds.^[1]

Thursday, 1 August 2024

Victor Perez, from the host country, hit the opening tee shot. Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), who lost in a 7-man playoff for the bronze medal at the 2020 Olympics, shot an 8-under-par round of 63 to lead by two strokes over defending champion Xander Schauffele (United States). Overnight rain had softened the course, resulting in lower-than-expected scores. Play was delayed twice during the round due to nearby lightning.^[2]
