Golf has arrived at the Olympics for just the 5th time in Olympic history. This event will take place as a traditional four-day tournament featuring the best men and women golfers in the world. Due to the ongoing controversy between the men’s PGA tour and the LIV golf league, it is rare for the world’s best golfers to compete against each other in the same tournament. The 2024 Summer Olympics will be a chance for all golfers to come together, providing fans with elite competition as the golfers compete for the coveted gold medal.
The Opening Ceremony begins July 26th at 1:30 pm EST while this tournament will be played at the Le Golf National golf course for both events. The men’s side will kick things off from August 1-4. The women will play shortly after, with their event taking place from August 7-10.
The Olympic Golf events will air on the Golf Channel and will stream on Peacock, as you can find every event on their streaming platform. Below, you can find which streaming services include the Golf Channel in their lineup.
