Xander SchauffeleSchauffele always has been a beast in limited-field, no-cut competition – a record that includes a gold medal in 2021 – and now he’s a two-time major champion.Sean MartinGold: Collin Morikawa

Silver: Ludvig Åberg

Bronze: Tom Kim

Collin MorikawaHis Instagram feed reveals his passion for the Olympics and he’s coming off a close call in Tokyo three years ago, where he lost a playoff for the bronze. All that’s lacking in his 2024 is a win. He has 14 top-25s in 18 starts, including seven top-10s. His skill set is perfect for Le Golf National. He ranks fourth in Driving Accuracy and he’s third in Distance from Edge of Fairway, showing that his misses don’t stray far from the short grass, which is important for this penal course in the Paris suburbs.Mike GlasscottGold: Jon Rahm

Silver: Tommy Fleetwood

Bronze: Victor Perez

Jon RahmNothing wrong with a bit of continental, contrarian flair! Rahm will look for more success on the course where he beat Tiger Woods in Ryder Cup singles back in 2018.Christian SkaretGold: Tommy Fleetwood

Silver: Xander Schauffele

Bronze: Shane Lowry

Tommy FleetwoodBegrudgingly dove back into 2018 Ryder Cup performances while sifting through the field for picks. Fleetwood and Molinari gouged the US team around Le Golf National. He’ll return to some fond memories, but the defending gold medalist from Tokyo (Schauffele) will nip at his heels.Cameron MorfitGold: Scottie Scheffler
