The core idea of the Olympic Games is that it is widely regarded as the premier global sports competition. I concur with this viewpoint. In my view, the Olympics serves as the pinnacle arena for sports such as Track and Field, Gymnastics, Swimming, Rowing, and others closely linked to the Olympic movement. Historically, the Olympics have epitomized amateurism and the spirit of traditional Olympic sports. Nonetheless, the sports scene has undergone significant changes over recent years, with a clear trend towards commercialization. Looking back, golf was once a significant Olympic sport, making its debut in 1900. Yet, its stint in the games was brief; it was abruptly removed just before the 1908 event. It faced cancellation again in 1920 due to lack of interest. In 2009, it was decided to reintroduce golf in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Golf already has various platforms to display its appeal, such as the four Majors for men, the five Majors for women, and events like The Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup. Other sports lack such exposure. The advantage is that the Olympics offers a fresh audience for all sports, including golf. Moreover, the direct involvement of Olympic committees from participating countries can potentially unlock new government, quasi-government, and private funding, which is beneficial for all sports, especially in areas where golf's infrastructure is not well-established. For the Olympics itself, adding a sport with a large following, like golf, could encourage fans to watch other Olympic sports. If golf continues to be an Olympic sport, perhaps a different format from the usual 72-hole setup could be considered. Instead of just another week of golf, why not introduce a round-robin medal qualifier that could evolve into a match-play format with multiple medals for both individual and team categories? Team golf, possibly mixed, could add a unique and engaging element to the Olympics. With the advent of LIV Golf and its innovative starts, featuring both individual and team divisions, innovation seems to be the current trend in golf, sports, and beyond. Despite my considerations, five of my players will compete at Le Golf National in Paris on Thursday. Victor Perez (France), Thomas Pieters (Belgium), Carlos Ortiz (Mexico), Joaquin Niemann (Chile), and Guido Migliozzi (Italy) are part of the 60-player lineup. As always, although I won't be present this week, I will follow my players' performances with keen interest. Best of luck to them; let the games commence and may the best player triumph!
