This year’s Olympic Games have attracted a huge amount of attention from sports fans, including golf enthusiasts. Despite golf being a relatively new addition to the Olympic calendar, it has proven to captivate golf fans who were excited to see their favorite players compete on this magnificent stage. The Olympic Games are very different from regular golf tournaments, especially as they offer the chance to bring a medal and joy to an entire country.

As one of the top contenders for the gold medal, Scotsman Scheffler continued his incredible run and secured the gold. The 27-year-old American has continued to delight golf fans with his achievements, and his Olympic success confirms his status as the world’s best golfer. Scheffler was noticeably emotional after his victory, crying as he listened to the national anthem with his gold medal around his neck – an unforgettable moment.

“When you hear everyone in the stands singing the national anthem, it’s very special to be part of that,” he said, quoted by the LA Times.

“It was just very emotional to be up there on the podium as the flag was raised and the national anthem was sung. Definitely one I will remember for a long time.”

With golf back on the Olympic calendar, golfers were excited about the chance to show the world the richness of the sport and represent their country in the best possible way. Scottie Scheffler made Americans proud by taking home another medal, this time a gold. He is an example of a golfer who never gives up and has confidence in his ability, even when things aren’t going perfectly.

“Anytime you can be part of the Olympics is really special. And golf being on the Olympic podium is a huge joy for us.”- he said.

Tommy Fleetwood responds

Tommy Fleetwoodwho won a silver medal, explained that as a child, becoming an Olympian or winning an Olympic medal was not something he or his peers ever imagined. The prospect of competing in the Olympics was simply not on their radar. But once he was part of the Olympics, his perspective changed dramatically. The experience of being an Olympian felt incredibly special to him.

Since golf was only reinstated on the Olympic calendar in 2016, many golfers grew up watching other sports during the Games. However, now that golf is back on the Olympic stage, golfers seem to be more excited and motivated to compete on this major platform. Furthermore, fans are increasingly recognizing and appreciating the importance of the Olympic Games and the presence of golf in this major event. It is certainly a great honor to bring a medal back to your country, regardless of the sport being played.

Although Fleetwood did not win the gold medal, he described standing on the podium with his medal as one of the most extraordinary moments of his golfing career. He stressed that the experience would be a cherished memory for the rest of his life.

“I didn’t win gold today. But standing on that podium with a medal in front of the crowd was one of the most amazing moments I’ve ever had as a golfer. I’ll remember all those times for the rest of my life.“-he said.

The 33-year-old Briton did not forget to praise the crowd, stressing that they had created a fantastic atmosphere. Despite some initial doubts as to whether golf would attract attention in Paris, it seems that even those who are not regular golf fans came to watch the competitions and enjoyed the richness of the sport. Playing in the Olympics offered golfers a unique experience that was clearly different from anything they had experienced before.

“The crowd was amazing,” said Fleetwood.

“It was a different atmosphere to what we get week in, week out, in terms of the amount of fans supporting their country. Just a different atmosphere.”

Hideki Matsuyama

Matsuyama showed his competitive spirit and believed he could have done even better. He sees the Olympics as a fantastic opportunity to promote golf and is determined to continue to pursue medals at future Olympics, with the possibility of even going for gold.

“I missed out on a medal in Tokyo so I’m happy I got one,” said Matsuyama.
