Golfs only appearance at the Olympics was in 1904 during the summer games in St. Louis. Canadian George Lyon took home the gold medal defeating American Chandler Egan 3 and 2. Back then, only the U.S. and Canada competed. But in 2016, the sport would draw competitors from a host of nations, renewing interest in the game in mature golf markets and engaging new fans and participants in emerging ones. Most everyone agrees that having golf in the Olympics would grow the game but some question if there would be considering that the game already has several major championships and the tournaments called the World Golf Championships.
