The Olympic Golf Competition: A Brief Overview
Golf’s grand return to the Olympics in 2016, after a hiatus of over a century, has re-energised the sport on the world stage.
In Paris, 60 of the globe’s elite players will battle it out in a 72‑hole stroke-play format.
Selection for the Olympic teams was based on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, finalised after the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship—a system that has produced a field as competitive as it is inspiring.

“And their gear, crafted with our utmost precision and care, will help them make that statement to the world.”
