Golf, celebrated for its precision and skill, marked a triumphant return to the Olympic Games in 2016 after a prolonged absence. The competition, featuring individual events for both men and women, attracted elite golfers from across the globe vying for coveted Olympic honors.

Before the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, golf had graced the Olympic program only twice, in 1900 and 1904. The sport reclaimed its spot on the Olympic stage in Brazil and continued its presence at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in 2021.

Despite its recent reintroduction, golf has quickly become a platform for countries with rich golf traditions, such as the United States, Great Britain, and South Korea, to showcase their prowess. Renowned golfers like Justin Rose, Inbee Park, and Xander Schauffele have left an indelible mark with their exceptional performances in the Olympic arena.

As anticipation builds for the Paris 2024 Olympics, the golf events are scheduled to unfold between the 1st and 10th of August, promising another chapter in the sport's Olympic journey.
