Golf at the Olympic Games

In August 2009, the IOC voted on which two sports to add to the program in 2016, with golf being selected along with Rugby. There will be both a men's and women's competition in 2016 in Rio. There has been a men's golf event in a couple of early Olympic Games.

At Previous Olympics

• In 1900, there was a men's and women's individual golf event.

• In 1904, men only competed, in the men's individual and the men's team event. There were several other golf events as part of the program, including a putting event, although only the two men's events were classified as Olympic.
