The 120 qualified players in the men’s and women’s events will play four rounds of 18 holes over four days, with a sudden death playoff for a tied score in any of the medal positions.

The competition will be held at Le Golf National, France’s national golfing centre on the outskirts of Paris. The centre contains two separate full size courses and is the traditional venue for the French Open, as well as having hosted the Ryder Cup in 2018.
