Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda pairing up for a mixed-team event in the Olympics? It could happen in three years.
On Wednesday, the International Olympic Committee announced new mixed-gender events when it unveiled the entire sports program for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. Included is a team competition in Olympic golf, which previously only featured individual men's and women's competition. The exact format is to be determined.
"The mixed events are a real true embodiment of gender equality − men and women competing in the same team, on the same field of play for their country," IOC sports director Kit McConnell said in a news conference.
