Neither U. Golf returned to the Olympics in after a year break. It will look a lot like a normal golf tournament. First, 60 men will compete in a four-day stroke-play event. Then, 60 women will do the same. There is a limit of four golfers per country in each event, with qualifying based on world rankings.
