Sixty players for each of the men's and women's tournaments qualified for Paris 2024 based on the official IGF world ranking list of 17 June 2024 (for men) and 24 June 2024 (for women). The top 15 world-ranked golf players were selected by name and secured their Olympic places, respecting the four-player limit per NOC. The remaining spots were awarded to the players ranked sixteenth onwards on the list with a maximum of two per NOC. The IGF guaranteed that at least one golfer from the host nation and each geographical region (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) would qualify.[3] [4] [5]
