Fresh off his Open Championship victory, Morikawa is now the third-ranked player in the world. He’s already won both the PGA Championship and the Open Championship on his first try — could a gold medal be next?
Justin Thomas
Currently ranked No. 4 in the world, Thomas has experience on his side. Though he’s never competed in the Olympics, four of Thomas’ 14 PGA Tour victories have been in Asia: the 2016 and 2017 CIMB Classic in Malaysia, and the 2018 and 2020 CJ Cup at Nine Bridges in South Korea.
