Golf was recommended by the IOC executive board to remain on the Olympic program through the 2024 Olympics, along with all sports from the Rio Games.
Golf’s place at the 2024 Olympics — either in Los Angeles or Paris — is set to be ratified by an IOC membership vote later this summer.
Golf was re-added to the Olympics in 2009, but only for 2016 and 2020. When golfers played in Rio, it marked the first Olympic tournaments in 112 years.
Olympic golf had its skeptics leading up to the Games as many men’s stars decided not to play for various reasons, including Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day.
