Overview
Golf at the Olympic Games features individual stroke play competitions for both men and women, with athletes competing over four rounds across four days. Players accumulate scores based on total strokes, with the lowest score determining the winner, and ties for medal positions decided by playoff.
At the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, the program will expand to include a mixed team event, where one male and one female golfer from each nation compete together over two rounds using alternate formats, adding a new strategic and collaborative element to the competition.
Golf made its Olympic debut at the 1900 Summer Olympics and was contested again in 1904 before being removed from the program for more than a century. The sport returned at the 2016 Rio Olympics with a streamlined format designed to mirror elite international competition.
What are the Olympic golf events for 2028?
