One such big name who arrived in Paris is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, along with fellow Team USA golfers Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark.

Apart from Scheffler, the 2024 Olympics have also seen the arrival of players like the Australian duo Jason Day and Min Woo Lee. The duo from Great Britain, Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick also arrived in Paris.
