The DP World Tour European Open in Germany ended with the victory of the British player Laurie Canter, and David Puig's chances of participating in the Paris Olympics remain valid. Despite the victories of Adrian Otaegui and Nacho Elvira, the Barcelona native still ranks second in Spain, just a few hundredths behind, given that none of the direct pursuers in the European spring season was able to score enough points.

Jorge Campillo has also not made any progress on the PGA Tour, so he will participate in the Volvo Scandinavian Championship starting from next Thursday with the aforementioned duo, the last real date to get the second ticket to the Olympics in Spain and thus accompany Jon Rahm to the Golf National.
If he doesn't finish in the top 10 like Otaegui did, or has better luck like Elvira and Campillo, the spot will remain in the hands of the golfer who plays in the LIV. In addition, Puig will waste his last chance to play in the U.S. Open on Monday, an important tournament to lower the ranking blinds.
The Fireball player has signed up for the Lake Merced qualifier for the third major on the course, and his presence at Pinehurst will give him the chance to continue improving his results, just like Eugenio López Chacarra, although the Madrid native will need to finish in the top two at the US Open to qualify for the Olympics.
At the European Open in Hamburg, Rafa Cabrera finished seventh, five shots behind the winner, at 284. He also achieved the same result at the Fortinet Championship in Australia in November, his best result in more than a year.
The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, will be held in Paris, France, from July 26 to August 11, 2024. On September 13, 2017, at the 131st International Olympic Committee Session in Lima, Peru, Paris was officially designated as the host city for the Olympic Games.
Hamburg, Rome and Budapest were also candidates, but withdrew on November 29, 2015, October 11, 2016 and February 22, 2017 respectively. In addition, Los Angeles was also selected as the host city for the 2028 Olympic Games by agreement reached with the International Olympic Committee on July 31, 2017.
Paris becomes the second city to host the Summer Olympics for the third time after London (1908, 1948 and 2012), after a hundred years (1900, 1924 and 2024), and before Los Angeles (1932, 1984 and 2028). The 2020 Tokyo Olympics were held in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, after which the event returned to the traditional four-year Olympic cycle.
