Rory McIlroy, representing Team Ireland alongside Shane Lowry, will compete in his second Olympic Games at Paris 2024. 

The four-day, 72-hole competition begins at Le Golf National. McIlroy told BBC Sport NI that as the Olympics become more integrated into golf, their significance might grow, but it’s uncertain if they will ever rival the four majors.
