Golf Returns to 2016 Olympic
Today marks a historic moment in the sport of golf with the International Olympic Committee voting 63 to 27 to add golf to the summer 2016 Olympic games. Last week the Olympic Committe voted Rio de Janeiro as the host city for the 2016 Games. Golf has not been an Olympic sport since the 1904 Olympics held in St. Louis, MO.
What the pros are saying...
Tiger Woods: I think it's great for golf. It's a perfect fit for the Olympics and I think we're all looking forward to golf getting into the Olympics.
Stewart Cink: I think when a sport gains Olympic status it gets a lot more attention and national sports institutes tend to pay a lot more attention.
Camilo Villegas: I am very happy that my fellow players will have a chance to experience the Olympic Games as competitors instead of spectators.
Michelle Wie: I can dream about doing something that neither Tiger nor Ernie have ever done, and that is to make the final putt to win an Olympic gold medal. If this dream comes true, somewhere in the world there will be another 4-year-old who sees me on that podium and perhaps starts her own Olympic dream.
