Should Bryson DeChambeau be at the 2024 Olympics? Players in Paris weigh in

While there are plenty of big names in the golf world not in Paris for the 2024 Olympic men’s golf competition at Le Golf National, one name is perhaps the biggest omission: Bryson DeChambeau.

The 2024 U.S. Open champion did not make the team. He couldn’t earn enough points to gain a spot among the top four Americans in the Official World Golf Ranking after the win at Pinehurst No. 2. His only events to earn ranking points during the past two years were majors, and because LIV Golf events don’t receive points, there are 14 times a year he plays that aren’t recorded for ranking purposes.

His win moved him, at the time, to No. 10 in the world, but it wasn’t enough to get into the top four Americans. Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark are in Paris representing Team USA.

Only 60 players made the field for the Olympic golf competition, with a max of four players per country if the four players are inside the top 15 in the OWGR.

During pre-tournament press conferences in Paris, nearly every golfer was asked the question whether DeChambeau should be in the field, and they gave a wide variety of answers.

Here’s what golfers had to say about DeChambeau and whether he should be in the Olympics.
