Olympic golf: Dates, times, format, how to watch on Golf Channel, USA, Peacock

For the third time since being reinstated, there will be men’s and women’s golf at the Olympics.

With gold medals and national pride on the line, there are 60 men and 60 women heading to Paris. The American contingent is made up of Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa as well as Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang.

Each competition will be a 72-hole, stroke-play tournament with gold, silver and bronze medals awaiting the top three finishers in each.

Le Golf National, host of the 2018 Ryder Cup, will host both competitions.

The men’s golf competition is up first, Aug. 1-4, then the women go Aug. 7-10. Golf Channel and USA have the TV coverage with Peacock streaming it all.
