NBCUniversal is taking the Olympic rings on a cross-country tour this summer as part of its promotion of NBCU’s coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, and the tour kicks off this week at THE PLAYERS Championship. The 20-foot tall rings are located near the iconic 17th island green at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Fans are encouraged to pose for photos in front of the iconic symbol and possibly meet Team USA Olympians and Olympic hopefuls. As the rings make their way across the country, they'll be visible to fans as they are transported from one event to the next.
Each day of the Paris Olympic Games, NBC will provide fans with at least nine hours of daytime coverage of the Summer Games’ most exciting events, including live finals coverage of swimming, gymnastics, track and field and more. Paris 2024 will have more programming hours on the NBC broadcast network than any previous Olympics. Given the time difference and following live coverage all day, NBC will deliver an enhanced Olympics primetime show, providing three hours of edge-of-your-seat entertainment each night.
Peacock will be the streaming home of the 2024 Paris Olympics, providing fans with the most comprehensive Olympic destination in U.S. media history. In a Summer Games first, the service will stream every sport and event, including all 329 medal events, and will feature full-event replays, all NBC programming, curated video clips, virtual channels, exclusive original programming and more.
