{{Infobox Olympic sport |sport=golf |image = Golf pictogram.svg |size = 150 |menevents=1 |womenevents=1 }}Golf was featured in the Summer Olympic Games official programme in 1900 and 1904. At the IOC session in Copenhagen in October 2009, the IOC decided to reinstate this event for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1][2]As of the 2016 Olympics, qualification is based primarily upon the Official World Golf Ranking (Men) and Women's World Golf Rankings, with the top fifteen of each gender automatically qualifying (with a limit of four per country), and then the highest ranked players from countries that had not yet already qualified two players.[3][4][5][6] Medal tableTotal{{Medals table | caption = | host = | flag_template = flagIOCteam | event = | team = | gold_USA = 3 | silver_USA = 3 | bronze_USA = 5 | gold_GBR = 1 | silver_GBR = 1 | bronze_GBR = 1 | gold_CAN = 1 | silver_CAN = 0 | bronze_CAN = 0 | gold_KOR = 1 | silver_KOR = 0 | bronze_KOR = 0 | gold_NZL = 0 | silver_NZL = 1 | bronze_NZL = 0 | gold_SWE = 0 | silver_SWE = 1 | bronze_SWE = 0 | gold_CHN = 0 | silver_CHN = 0 | bronze_CHN = 1 }}Men{{Medals table | caption = | host = | flag_template = flagIOCteam | event = | team = | gold_USA = 2 | silver_USA = 2 | bronze_USA = 4 | gold_GBR = 1 | silver_GBR = 1 | bronze_GBR = 1 | gold_CAN = 1 | silver_CAN = 0 | bronze_CAN = 0 | gold_SWE = 0 | silver_SWE = 1 | bronze_SWE = 0 }}Women{{Medals table | caption = | host = | flag_template = flagIOCteam | event = | team = | gold_USA = 1 | silver_USA = 1 | bronze_USA = 1 | gold_KOR = 1 | silver_KOR = 0 | bronze_KOR = 0 | gold_NZL = 0 | silver_NZL = 1 | bronze_NZL = 0 | gold_CHN = 0 | silver_CHN = 0 | bronze_CHN = 1 }}Events- //Golf at the 1900 Summer Olympics">1900

A men's individual tournament was planned for the 1908 London Games, but an internal dispute amongst British golfers lead to them boycotting the event, leaving 1904 gold medallist George Lyon as the only competitor.[8] Offered the gold medal by default, Lyon refused to accept it.[8] Medal summaryMen's individual | {{DetailsLink>Golf at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Men's individual}}Charles Sands|USA|1900 Summer}} | Walter Rutherford|GBR|1900 Summer}} | David Robertson|GBR|1900 Summer}} | | {{DetailsLink>Golf at the 1904 Summer Olympics – Men's individual}}George Lyon|CAN|1904 Summer}} | Chandler Egan|USA|1904 Summer}} | Burt McKinnie|USA|1904 Summer}} {{flagIOCathlete|Francis Newton|USA|1904 Summer}} | 1908–2012 | not included in the Olympic program | | {{DetailsLink>Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's individual}}Justin Rose|GBR|2016 Summer}} | Henrik Stenson|SWE|2016 Summer}} | Matt Kuchar|USA|2016 Summer}} | |
