IGF optimistic over mixed event at 2028 Olympics

Date: Mar 28, 2025

Officials lobbying for golf to include a mixed competition at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics are "optimistic" the proposal will be accepted by the International Olympic Committee.

A meeting on Monday will hear golf's submission to include a two-day mixed event, which would be staged between the men's and women's individual tournaments.

Golf's return to the Games has been judged an overwhelming success. Justin Rose won men's gold for Great Britain in Rio in 2016 in the first Olympic golf tournament for 112 years.

In Paris last year world number one Scottie Scheffler snatched a thrilling victory in the men's event, while New Zealand's Lydia Ko claimed the women's title to complete a personal set of gold, silver and bronze medals.
