Golf Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

Have a problem with the current system of qualification - seems to have USA as the only team with more than 2 golfers (maybe Sth Korea also qualifies in the women's event )

The no 3 GB Australia  or Sth Africa doesn't make it in this system because they are not in the top 10

 

My alternative?

Allow minimum of 21 NOCs(=10 % of all NOCs) to compete (including host + all continents) with all countries having a golfer from outside top 100 in top 100 qualifying.

Max of 4 per NOC

There may well be more than 21 countries and some golfers outside top 100 qualifying.But not necessarily .

 

Don't see the point oh having a no 250 rather than a no 60 qualifying

Universality. The Olympics is not a World elite championship or a major, it's essentially an exhibition event to allow golf to sell itself outside its strongholds, a commercial for casual sports viewers - which is true of very many sports at the Games.  The Games are the one time many casual fans watch untraditional sports; the balance is getting enough quality to give the event Kudos, while reaching out beyond the normal footprint.

 

IF you just want to watch the top players, there are no shortage of tournaments to do so.

Bad example there for South Africa btw with their 3rd man being ranked 101st

 

Indeed even GB’s 3rd man is ranked 68th

 

The only players from inside the top 50 to miss out are from either the USA or Korea and 4 Americans already qualify.

 

All in all, that’s a decent system

Why doesn't Tyrrell Hatton count at 18? Can't be the fact that he joined LIV as John Rahm is showing as qualified.
