# Golf at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification

This article details the qualifying phase for golf at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Sixty players for each of the men's and women's tournaments qualified for Paris 2024 based on the official IGF world ranking list of 17 June 2024 (for men) and 24 June 2024 (for women). The top 15 world-ranked golf players were selected by name and secured their Olympic places, respecting the four-player limit per NOC. The remaining spots were awarded to the players ranked beyond the top fifteen on the list with a maximum of two per NOC. The IGF guaranteed that at least one golfer qualified from the host nation and at least one from each continent (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania). The IGF posted weekly lists of qualifiers based on current rankings for men and women.
Points were awarded to the players based on their final positions in each event, with performances in the events with stronger fields earning more points, based on a points distribution schedule approved by the IGF. Ranking points for each player accumulated over a two-year “rolling” period with the points awarded in the most recent thirteen-week period weighted at a full percentage of their original value. After the initial 13-week period, the points were devalued by 1.1% for each of the next 91 weeks before they dropped entirely off the player's two-year record. The IGF Olympic ranking was ordered according to the average points that the players managed to accumulate over the applicable two-year period. Calculating the average points was to divide the total number of ranking points accumulated by the player in the number of tournaments in which he or she has competed during the two-year period.

* Rico Hoey (ranked 173) was ineligible to compete for the Philippines due to his changing his allegiance from the United States too late in the qualification process.
* Chile's Cristóbal del Solar (ranked 195) withdrew after the final rankings were released and was replaced by Mito Pereira.
* The Dutch Olympic Committee did not allow Joost Luiten (ranked 147) and Darius van Driel (237) to participate since they required their participants to be ranked in the top 27 of the Olympic Golf Ranking and have "a realistic chance at a medal". Luiten initially appealed against the Dutch Olympic Committee for prohibiting him to play, considering that he was eligible. He won the appeal. However, Luiten was denied access to play due to his initial entry being removed by the Dutch Olympic Committee and his place being taken by Tapio Pulkkanen.
* Several golfers requested that they be withdrawn from consideration for the games:
** Tyrrell Hatton (Great Britain) – ranked 22
** Brooks Koepka (United States) – 43
** Adam Scott (Australia) – 58
** Louis Oosthuizen (South Africa) – 138
** Marcel Siem (Germany) – 215
** Thomas Pieters (Belgium) – 333
