Jon Rahm, from the Basque Country, number 9 in the World Ranking, backed by a solid track record that distinguishes him as an undisputed reference in any competition, has occupied the best position among the Spaniards within the Olympic Golf Ranking.

The second place in the Spanish golf team is held by David Puig from Barcelona, who finished in 113th place, narrowly beating Jorge Campillo from Cáceres.

Ignacio Gervás, Technical Director of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, says, “We are very happy with our representation in Paris. Jon, who is very eager, especially after missing the Tokyo Olympics due to his unexpected positive Covid test, has always expressed his enthusiasm for trying to win the first Olympic medal for Spanish golf.”.

The RFEG's Technical Director of Sports values that "he knows the course, he has unforgettable memories of the Ryder Cup that was played at Golf National. He will undoubtedly be one of the key players in the Olympic competition.".

Regarding David Puig, Ignacio Gervás highlights “the great work he did to make the team. He had very few options because he played at LIV Golf, where tournaments don't count towards the World Ranking, but through sheer effort he managed to qualify for the US Open and make the cut. He's a young player who competed in the World Amateur Championship at Golf National relatively recently, so it's still fresh in his mind.”.

Ignacio Gervás believes that “the two players can complement each other very well. Jon brings experience and David brings freshness and competitiveness. They both went to the same university, shared many similar experiences, and although the competition is individual, the good atmosphere between them will help them both.”.

The competition in Paris, in any case, is going to be fierce. “With only 60 players, the number of direct rivals is smaller compared to other tournaments, but the same is true in a major, where the competition comes from 12-15 golfers plus the possible surprises that always appear in any tournament. In any case, the medal is the goal; we hope that on the final day both Jon and David will be fighting for one.‘.
