Golf is set to return to the olympics by 2016. Since the Summer Olympics of 1904, the 'game of men' has been absent from the sporting events. The International Olympics Committee has finally decided to re-introduce the sport in the Olympics.
The President of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics Organizing Committee, Arthur Nuzman said: "As [the 2016 Games] marks the return of golf to the Olympic Games after over a century of absence, this course represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the sport. It will enable Rio to host important events in the international calendar and it will be an example of sustainability and preservation of an environmentally protected area. This course will be an excellent facility for the practice and development of golf and will inspire millions of youth across Brazil and the globe. We look forward to welcoming the athletes and spectators to the course in 2016."
