This article explains how to watch a men’s Olympic golf live stream from Paris 2024 – including information on how you can watch from anywhere with a VPN.
Hideki Matsuyama of Japan shot an 8-under to lead the men’s Olympic golf tournament after the first round. Matsuyama’s bogey-free round was one stroke off the course record set by Eduardo Romero in 2005.
Matsuyama goes into the second round with a two-shot lead over second-placed Xander Schauffele from the USA. In third, a further shot behind, are the trio of Emiliano Grillo (Argentina), Tom Kim (South Korea) and LIV’s Joaquin Neimann (Chile).
Sixty golfers are taking part in the 2024 Olympic men’s golf tournament on the Albatros course at Le Golf National. The men’s tournament, a 72-hole individual strokeplay event, runs August 1-4
Qualification for the Olympics golf 2024 is based on the Official World Golf Rankings. The top 15 in the rankings qualify for the Olympics with the proviso that no more than four players from any one nation can qualify this way. This has meant that several Americans in the top 15 have been unable to get in to the Olympics. The four who have are Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa. After this, qualification is still based on the world rankings but now allowing only a maximum of two players from any one country.
Gold-medal winner at Tokyo 2020, Xander Schauffele is competing again this time. But Justin Rose, who won gold in 2016, misses out, just as he did in 2020, as it is Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick who have qualified for Great Britain.

How to watch men’s Olympics Golf 2024: live stream from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching Olympics Golf 2024 lives streams via your usual service?
You can still tune in thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite – as recommended by the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide – is NordVPN.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, our top choice is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location.
3. Go to the broadcaster’s stream – head to your home broadcaster’s site or app and watch just as if you were sitting on your sofa at home.
