The Olympic Men's Competition gets underway Thursday at Kasumigaseki Country Club outside of Tokyo, Japan.
Who will stand on the podium? Who will just miss the medal ceremony? GolfChannel.com writers weigh with their predictions.

REX HOGGARD: Paul Casey. There was little in Justin Rose’s run-up to the 2016 Games to suggest the Englishman was on the cusp of a gold-medal winning performance, but though he lacked results, he had plenty of passion. Casey seems to have stepped in for Rose in Tokyo after making the Olympics his singular focus this year.
