Also know that the Olympic golf competitions are a different environment and feeling for the players, and in the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, which were held in 2021 due to COVID, two big favorites of more than 150/1 won the silver and bronze medals.

The Summer Olympics will be in Los Angeles in 2028, and the International Golf Federation has confirmed Riviera Country Club as the host venue. But until the next round, this year’s golf competition in Paris will offer more memorable moments and spectacular shots on the way to the podium — perhaps for another leading American.

You can bet on that.
