Golf fans are still getting used to the cadence and schedule of the Olympics.
Because it only pops up every four years, there's a learning curve every time. Golf returned to the Olympics in 2016 in Brazil and was held in a pandemic bubble in Japan in 2020. This year's Paris Olympics should produce a much more fan-friendly viewer experience, especially for those of us watching at home.
Diehard golf nuts will recognize some of the holes of Le Golf National's Albatros Course from the 2018 Ryder Cup. Hopefully the Americans fare better this time around than they did six years ago.
In this ultimate Olympic golf viewing guide, we direct you to the best places to access live coverage, instruct you on streaming it online, and point out where you can view replays.
