The 2024 Olympics are underway and on Thursday the men’s golf competition tees off at Le Golf National in Paris, the host venue of the 2018 Ryder Cup (Europe beat the United States, 17.5-10.5).
There are dozens of superstars representing their countries including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (USA), Xander Schauffele (USA), Rory McIlroy (Ireland), Jon Rahm (Spain), Ludvig Aberg (Sweden) and Tommy Fleetwood (England).
Scheffler, unsurprisingly, is the betting favorite to win at +360. The Texan has six wins in his last 11 starts, a stretch that includes the Players Championship, the Masters and the Memorial Tournament. He most recently tied for seventh at The Open. Schauffele, the Champion Golfer of the Year, is next on the odds list at +550.
