Golf is back for the third straight Olympic Games. After being an event at the 1900 and 1904 Olympics, it did not appear again until Rio 2016.
Both the men’s and women’s tournaments feature 72-hole stroke play. There is no cut, so each of the 60 men and 60 women participating are eligible to play all four rounds.
The men’s tournament will conclude on Sunday, Aug. 4, and the women will finish on Saturday, Aug. 10. Nelly Korda (USA) is the defending women’s gold medalist.
